The wheels that turn of forward motion are always destiny bound, even though the road less travelled is marred by bumps and foreign sounds. So long as you are moving and learning as you go, there will always be adventures new and others, your companions, will follow.
Some may say that travel without a purpose known is willful and of selfish endeavour sown, but such persons oftentimes have not, themselves, set out to take such risks and flights of fancy for freedom sake, and therefore know no truths which pertain to such noble quests.
You must listen to yourself and take the tests which will present from time to time. Above all else refuse to stagnate in a muddied pool; this life is far too precious to while away the time achieving little more than criticising others who embark on journeys of the mind.
You cannot turn back time, and indeed who would ever choose so to do? What occurred is history and fits you for what, and who, you are today, warts and all. Look back fondly at your achievements and be thankful for mistakes which have helped you to overcome obstacles galore.
And once you have a fair perspective on your life thus far, you will be ready to pursue future dreams with gusto, to fling yourself out amongst the madding crowd to give of self, and share the spoils of labours hard.
Onward shall you travel, and as you pass each sign posted with directions new, you shall come to know your path with greater clarity because of all the mileage spent in times past. Experience yields wisdom vast, and this becomes your friend, able to warm a weary heart at journey’s end. Keep moving forward gently until you find eternity.
