My milkman’s 17 year old daughter came to ask for my advice, She asked me what should I pursue next in my life I could not answer her question but began to introspect, Have I achieved enough so far to have gained this respect I often find myself scrambling to know where I should go How can I then tell the path to take, when my own I don’t know I wonder what makes us worthy of giving such life advice The external facade is what they see, cant they hear my screaming inner voice? How am I any better than that 17 year old to know which path to take? Should I tell her the truth or protect this false reputation at stake Have I established any standards of exemplifying “the success?” Should I tell her how hollow I am within, that it’s nothing but a mess Should I tell her to take one step at a time and let things fall in place That she must know what she wants to be and then walk towards at a steady pace I must acknowledge that I am outwardly at a place many aspi
