The best choice!

      Everyday we have to make choices in our lives from the most simple situation to the most difficult. Making choices is not so simple; everything we do in life always has more than two ways al least. So to choose one of those choices we have to leave the another one behind, but it always will come back to minds, if that was the best choice we made!
      In many situation of my life I have had to make choices; wasn't easy and it isn't. However, the fortunately, I have had people like my mom and sister helping me make them. So if I had to blame someone it wouldn't be only me. I know this sounds selfish but it was made me feel more comfortable in the moment. However, we grow up and realize that we can't have those people always next to us to help in our decisions, either because they don't want or because they have died, it became the most difficult and lonely day in our lives.
     The hardest choice in my life, was "saying "yes" . My boyfriend proposed to me last month, and at the moment he did it I had to make my choice. I love him from the bottom of my heart, but I had to chose between living close to my family in my country or to living overseas with the love of my life. My family is really important to me, and it is painfull no see them everyday, so that was as difficult situation for me to choose between two big loves.
     Life is unpredictable and with a lot of mystery and doubts, and the only thing in life that we are sure of is the death.

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was born in San Francisco, California. His father William Frost, a journalist and an ardent Democrat, died when Frost was about eleven years old. His Scottish mother, the former Isabelle Moody, resumed her career as a schoolteacher to support her family. The family lived in Lawrence, Massachusetts, with Frost's paternal grandfather, William Prescott Frost, who gave his grandson a good schooling. In 1892 Frost graduated from a high school and attended Darthmouth College for a few months. Over the next ten years he held a number of jobs. Frost worked among others in a textile mill and taught Latin at his mother's school in Methuen, Massachusetts. In 1894 the New York Independent published Frost's poem 'My Butterfly' and he had five poems privately printed. Frost worked as a teacher and continued to write and publish his poems in magazines. In 1895 he married a former schoolmate, Elinor White; they had six children.

 At the time of his death on January 29, 1963, Frost was considered a kind of unofficial poet laureate of the US. "I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world," Frost once said. In his poems Frost depicted the fields and farms of his surroundings, observing the details of rural life, which hide universal meaning. His independent, elusive, half humorous view of the world produced such remarks as "I never take my side in a quarrel", or "I'm never serious except when I'm fooling." Although Frost's works were generally praised, the lack of seriousness concerning social and political problems of the 1930s annoyed some more socially orientated critics. Later biographers have created a complex and contradictory portrait of the poet. In Lawrance Thompson's humorless, three-volume official biography (1966-1976) Frost was presented as a misanthrope, anti-intellectual, cruel, and angry man, but in Jay Parini's work (1999) he was again viewed with sympathy: ''He was a loner who liked company; a poet of isolation who sought a mass audience; a rebel who sought to fit in. Although a family man to the core, he frequently felt alienated from his wife and children and withdrew into reveries. While preferring to stay at home, he traveled more than any poet of his generation to give lectures and readings, even though he remained terrified of public speaking to the end..."
