Hi Naomi..
sometimes looking ahead we see only walls, dead end roads, etc.. we see how far our life is running away for our best dreams.. we feel sad, and with no new perspectives or challenges for our existence..
if you face a wall or a dead end road.. get back.. return.. dont look ahead.. allow yourself to say "oops, my choices had brought me to here.. time to take a new road!!"

cry for help..
