A Crossroad of Destiny

As of a few days ago, I have come to a realization that I must face a certain life-changing decision.

Either I take a left turn, and be what people expect me to be, but not be free to do whatever I wish, or I take a right turn, and "head for daylight", in which I can do everything i'd like to do and not follow any expectations.

If I take a left turn, I will continue what i've done up 'till now, being who i'm expected to be [in the present and in the future].

If I take a right turn, i'll be free to do as I wish, but I may disappoint some people in my life and possible have our connection "broken".

So to speak, if I take a left turn my true want of what i'd like to be will not "shine" due to lack of daylight, but if I take a right turn it will shine but may cause some people i've known to stay on the right side, as they may not be able to accept the/"survive" in daylight.

I know some of you will understand my crisis here, and some will not. If you do understand, please talk in "clues" as I did without uncovering any details.

(My avatar is partially in the dark, which expresses my current status: in the dark, but willing to step out of the darkness and head to daylight.)
