Crossroads

I feel like I am at a critical crossroads in my life.

Although I have accomplished almost every goal I ever wanted, it is not enough.

I feel like all I have done so far will be for nothing if I don’t reach this goal; like every positive thing I have ever believed about myself will be a joke, a cruel lie.
It is close enough to taste, but I have so much more work to do.
It is overwhelming sometimes. I want to give up, but that is not in my nature.
I picture my skeptics in the background with their ugly smirks, reminding me that I chose this life, so I should stop complaining; ready to break out their “I told you so” retorts when I have failed. 
But rather than shrinking back or retreating, I push forward; knowing that there is always a chance I will fail, but clinging to the chances of success like a warrior preparing for battle. 
I may fail, but if I do, I will not go down without a fight.
This is my time to shine, to show everyone I deserve to be here.
I want to show my family and friends to never give in to negativity or cynicism, never doubt yourself, and never give up on your dreams.
Fight for everything, and in that battle you will find the will to keep going.
