Conflicted

As she watched the scene before her, happiness and excitement swirled within her, mingled with another feeling. One she hadn't expected. She'd been part of that world once, and now, no longer. Why she left, she couldn't remember. All she knew now was that watching, she desired nothing more than to be part of it all once more.

Yet, it seemed in this case, as in many others before, that wants and desires were vastly different to the reality. It seemed a reunion was but a dream. One of those dreams one wishes with everything they had would come true. While on one hand, she desired a reunion with the world she'd once loved, on the other, so many reasons why a reunion couldn't take place seemed to present themselves like barriers suddenly blocking her path.

And so an internal battle of the mind ensued. Desires versus realities, wants versus happenings, what could be versus what will. An internal struggle, to which no end seemed apparent. It seemed the choices were this; accept what will be and what cannot be, or fight for what could be.

In varying shapes and forms, people have these battles of conscience every day, some big, others small. So, the question is, how important is it? The want versus the apparent reality? Is it worth fighting for? And most importantly, what will you do- accept or fight?
