The Road Not Taken




TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I love this poem.. By Robert Frost
It has so much meaning,and.. wow. makes so much sense. I f only I could write with such depth.. I suppose it comes through hardship and experience... wow.it really has become my inspiration. my stand. to take the other road. the one that other ppl won't choose. Not in the negative sense but rather in the path to become extraordinary, and to leave such an impact on the world, that even if I were to be forgotten, my impact would forever be etched in the hearts and minds of the generations to come..Sometimes, I envy the politicians, they have a great opportunity to ACTUALLY affect change, but sadly,most of them are in it for their own selfishness.. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean all of them.. just the vast majority.. that's all.

All my life, I've wanted to be in the medical field. Plainly for the reasons that I want to help others. It sounds cheesy and fake, but I really do.I guess. Thats what I wanted when I was younger, or rather what I thought I wanted. When actually, what I really really want to do is to affect change. I want to be able to impact the people of my generation, and to really have the power to just.. well.. transform the world. That's why I'm seriously thinking of what I want to do. I would love to fight for rights, write, and stuff. But I'm not so sure. Yea,I could do both, but do I want to?
