I am not sure what this means for you, but it really hit me as something I did a few years ago. It was a very good decision for me and I am much happier now. I hope for you the same.

So well put, and a perfect image to go with it.

Yeah, been there, done that. And it worked out pretty well. A great image, full of unknown potential.

A thought-provoking, soul-searching prose

I think you'll find lots of company on that road, we've all been or are still on that same road for one reason or another.

I hope that this road takes you where you want to go and that a new life is available for you to grab onto.

oh wow. you've expressed this so well, and in so few words! i can totally feel the relief, the freedom, and the anticipation. if there had been any doubt in my mind that you are doing the right thing (as if!), this poem would be proof that you're on the right path. emotionally powerful, clear, and strong. you're doing this for YOU, not for anyone else, and it shows! congratulations! 😃🎉💖

Think many have been on this road. While the future is wide open, I wish you many a happy trails.

perfect poem, Marilyn. I'm pretty sure I shared my thoughts about it earlier, and I know I shared my thoughts about the event that it's describing. But the poem is perfect, short, to the point, and triumphant. I hope all has gone well with that, in every way. And I hope your life is better because of it. Very well written. And btw, the image is another beautiful road image from you, and perfect for the meaning of the poem.
