At some point in your life, you're going to find yourself at a crossroads and neither of those roads leads to anything good. And no one's going to be able to advise you or tell you what you should do. No wikihow article is going to be able to tell you what you should do either. We can't always know or predict what will happen if we choose this option or that option. The truth is, we don't know anything. But there is no shame in these situations. Because it's how you experience things and grow to be a better person. And if you manage to come out of it physically, emotionally, and/or mentally unscathed, you'll become a lot more of a stronger, wiser, and better person than you were before. At some point in life, you're going to have to make a choice where sacrifice is necessary to attain the greater good. And it is during these times that hope is something you give to yourself.
