"Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn’t have the courage to say yes” to life?"

Simplified meaning
Sometimes, we worry a lot about making the wrong choices because we don't want to mess things up. But making mistakes is something everyone does; it's how we learn and grow. Think about learning to ride a bicycle—you fall a few times, but eventually, you get better. Life is similar; you have to take chances even if you're scared. Staying in your comfort zone might feel safe, but it can keep you from learning new things and having exciting experiences. It’s important to be brave and embrace new opportunities, even if there’s a risk of failure.
