I'm sitting at a crossroads…

You only live once but can die a thousand different ways.

The trick is to choose an obscure, niche way of dying so it is less likely to happen.

It is what I have done and I appear to be immortal (so far).

I just need to avoid juggling dwarves on yaks and I should be safe for a few more years.

Better to have loved and lost than not loved at all.

This thread is begining to sound like the facebook wall of an emotionaly insecure teenage girl.

Sorry, I thought we were quoting common sayings and poetry 🙂

It’s better to have loved and lost than to have listened to an album by Olivia Newton John.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

Except perhaps a stroke

Nobody else picked up on the fact that thisisnotaspoon has teenage girls on his Facebook?

Yup, very high maintenance.

It doesn’t involve potential financial reimbursements does it…..

Keeping my cards close to my chest

are you going to be a magician?

life is not a dress rehearsal

What’s for you won’t go by you. 🙂

I’m sitting watching Crossroads too.

Perhaps he is going to sell those wheels?

I was just going to cc the bold lines, but the whole thing seemed appropriate…

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I’d something more to say.

I’m crap at this sort of thing 😐

There’s stuff I’d like to do. The boldnesss is in there, somewhere, but the secure wins out every time

Surely if you are at a crossroads you are going to have Three[/i] options. Straight on, left or right. Don’t you mean that you are sitting at a T-junction?

Only trying to help.

I write this on the birthday cards that get passed round the office.

I was about to deny it, then remembered that I do.

The last crossroads you arrived at clearly had the option of repating pedantry from the first page.
