I’m at a crossroads in my life. Should I continue as I am or change direction? What’s the right thing to do with what’s left of my days?
(See what I did there? Right, left!)
But I’ve had fun, even naughty fun, and I want more.
(What? Mind your own business!)
Or should I take life more seriously? Maybe travel a bit. I’ve read about yellow beaches and green valleys.
(Red, yellow, green, get it?)
Wakey-wakey, daydreaming again. I didn’t notice the lights go green.
“No need to hoot, I’m moving”.
Oh f***!
“Sorry mate”.
I selected reverse. Seems nothing’s gonna change!

Ah! Those conversations in our head, haven’t we all been there. Especially on a solo drive, stuck in traffic.

Be well.
