Crossroads

Hey Thicckens, it’s a Sunday evening here in Ghana and as I sit in my (late) fathers favorite chair in the house I grew up in, I cannot help but count my blessings. I and my siblings have come a long way since the passing of the old man but we still have a long way to go.

*deep breath*

I entitled this post cross roads because I feel that’s exactly where I am at this point in my life. Like every young woman, my age, I am faced with so many opportunities, blessings and decisions to make and for the life of me I don’t know which way to swing.

I know you guys know what I’m talking about. So many of my friends are either married or have babies. There is no pressure on me personally, but in my quiet times I do ponder over these things and question why I do not feel compelled to search for or long for these things.

When it comes to my career, I know exactly what I want to do, the lengths I’m willing to go to, to achieve my goals, however ask me about how many kids I want and how I see my future in regards to a family and you will have me stuttering.

Now that I have met, who seems to be Mr. Right, I am at a crossroads. Do I want the same things he wants, in the same time frame and do I want these things with him?
