Your story really makes me think about those crossroads moments we all face - when we have to choose between the comfortable and the unknown. Most of us probably have a "fortune cookie moment" somewhere in our past, even if we don't realize it at the time.
Thanks for sharing something so personal and meaningful. Stories like this remind us that sometimes the biggest leaps of faith lead to the most extraordinary journeys. And the fact that you've never regretted that decision for even a second? That says everything about the power of trusting your instincts when the moment feels right.
The power of paper indeed!
