What Do I really Want?

I'm on a phase of my life right now wherein I am searching for what I really want.  If whether to choose the safe side or take the risk and accept new challenges that would come into my life.  I have already taken several steps but I am afraid and confused whether to continue walking or to get back.  I am afraid if I continue walking I will just discover that at the end of the road, it is just a cold and dark place.  But I really want to continue, but will the people would like what I am about to do?  Think...
