Finding the right path in life

At eighteen, real life comes crashing in; people often find themselves sinking. Earlier in our lives, a helping hand was always there setting alarms and making breakfast.
Now the road is no longer paved ahead of us and the yellow line that divided right from wrong has yet to be laid. Wrong turns will be made and bad paths will get laid; ultimately, we all get lost. When we lose our destination, there are three instincts that kick in. Confusion, fear then anger. The process can be quick, disorienting and cancels out logical thought, but if you get angry at yourself for making that choice, how are you supposed to find the serendipity along the way?
Everyone changes and is ashamed of some of the choices they have made along the way but the ones who succeed will keep moving forward. The point of getting lost in life is not to focus on the choice that put us on that path, but to learn from our experiences and put them towards a better us. The road is not always straight and we cannot run through life without building bridges. But what can be learned in the years of struggling on small roads, creates the highway of our success.
