When you are twelve, you will stand at a crossroads and make a decision that you will spend the rest of your life alternately, immensely grateful for and deeply regretting.
You will stand, half-blind with the naïveté of youth, staring out at two paths obscured in the misty haze of uncertainty vanishing into the darkness of a future that no one, anywhere, ever, can advise you about.
You will hesitate and deliberate and consider and agonize — and you will make a decision halfway mad with indecision and uncertainty, never quite sure of your own damn reasoning.
You will rejoice for it. You will suffer for it. You will be rewarded for it, and you will be punished for it. You will celebrate it and grieve it, bless it and condemn it, gain from it and lose from it, praise it and ache for it.
You will cry many a night, apologizing to yourself and your parents and the world. So goddamn sorry for something you can't even name.
You will never stop looking back, wondering what if . . . What if . . . What if . . .
But you will make a decision — that I am now certain no twelve-year-old should ever be forced to make — and I am telling you, here, now, I am proud of you.
