When you are lost

==================================
Odin's Rune :

Should I, or Should I Not Quit?

Rune of Algiz

Protection - Rushes - Elk

Manage your emotions. Note unwanted influences. Face and embrace what comes. Timely action. Proper conduct.
==================================

I previously asked for runic guidance on this same question - and although the answers vary slightly, they're more transitional than I imagined they would be. There are 3 runes - one for the present, one for the necessary course of action, and one for the predicted results.

This was what I received when I was totally lost and had no idea where to go, what to do.
==================================
Present :

Rune of Wunjo

Joy - Light

A branch bearing fruit. Joyfulness, New energy, light upon the waters. Illumination of the soul. Clarity for proper alignment with the self.

Necessary :

Rune of Uruz

Strength - Humankind - a Wild Ox

A rune of passage. A new birth. A new form. Pass through the dark to see the light. Gain may appear as loss. A bond may be severed. A new perspective can bring a new birth.

Results :

Rune of Ehwaz

Movement - Progress - A horse

A New attitude. A new way of life. Slow but steady progress. Proceed, assured and use well the coming good fortune.
==================================

It appeared cryptic to me back then, but perhaps I was not in the right frame of mind to accept it. Now that I see it, I hesitate to say this...but I am reluctant and afraid to take this step, because it means I'd have to open my heart again.

Unless...I didn't.

Odinists die violent deaths. And Odin, in legends of old, was mocked by Loki that he took the blessings away from warriors in the battlefield so he could reap their souls for Ragnarok. I am no Odinist, but a life of feasting and fighting...I could do with some of that.

So I guess the route I am taking now is the straight and narrow.

Perhaps it will come to nothing, and when I sit at the interview table the interviewers will look at my resume and query : "And you are how old? Right. Do you have any relevant experience prior to applying for this job?" But you know what?

There are 2 ways to fuck this shit. The first is that I give it all up, enjoy the temporary benefits until I actually hit 30 and realise I've still got nothing but at least the journey was fun, or I could go on with what I'm doing and hit 30 and realise I've still got nothing and the journey fucking sucked but at least I did all I could to save myself from that fate.

Hindsight to Foresight...and the runes tell me I should pick hindsight. Or in this case, future hindsight, ha.

Between the 2, I'm not so sure which one is best. But the runes have never lied.

Alright then.

I shall walk this road to the end, and I shall see with my own eyes what my fate is. Perhaps I will be another broken body at the bottom of a building come the near future, but I shall be prepared for it then.
