Choose Your Own Adventure

If you want to look for treasure turn to page 37.
If you want to wait for the storm to end turn to page 92.



As a child I distinctly remember "Coose Your Own Adventure" books. These delightful books not only created a wonderful fantasy, but allowed for its readers to play an integral part of the plot development. I'd make a decision, turn the pages quickly and eagerly absorb the fate of the protagonist... Sometimes the "treasure" lead me to be attacked by "pirates" and I'd lose some valuable time or resources on my quest. I'd turn back to the decision-making page and try the second option and turn the pages, with some relief that this fate would at least be different, if not better, than the first outcome.

However, in life, we are not always so fortunate to go back and amend our past mistakes or poor decisions so effortlessly...

A fair approach seems to create as many memories to base future decisions off of. Also the use of breadcrumbs or Polaroids as a trail of reminders can help when trying to find your way back home...


As an adventure seeking, patient, and optimistic person, I'm determined to enjoy life before and after each crossroads. True there are consequences for chosing one path over another, but that's life! I proceed with confident caution. Stay tuned for more unfolding events, as the pages turn!
