Today I saw a sign - one which offered me the answers to all my questions, to teach me all that I had longed to learn. It was a sign which offered adventure to the adventurous, a sign which - unless I misinterpreted it, offered a sight at this world greatest treasures - and moreover, in its purest form. Not adorned by unwanted layers of distraction - but the unchanged form, the naked form. And all it asked of me was that I take the first step - I go through the door separating me from that which I longed for. All else would then be revealed to me. And perhaps it opening that door, others - just like me - would be able to marvel at the same sights. Yes, today I saw a sign.
But the question that held me back was: should I act? Should I go forth into the unknown? what consequences would there be if I faltered? What would become of me? The sign offered me treasure - but no guarantee of treasure, and no guarantee of immunity from any harm that may befall me.
A sign which offered much, including risk.
But being one for adventure I took the proverbial leap of faith - I knocked down the door, and stormed through leaving a path for any who wanted to follow. The sign did not disappoint. It rewarded me greatly for entrusting it with my future. And though there were consequences which came later, I can only say that it was worth it.
I saw a sign, and I acted on it. I am told I should feel remorse, but I do not. How could I when the sign delivered me sights I could not describe other than by claiming them divine? No there is no remorse. Moreover, I cannot promise that I would not act again were I to come across the sign again.

A Sign
The above was found in my brother's high school journal documenting the day he went into the Girl's Change Room.

Not only does it sell, but it also gets clicks!
I contemplated not adding an image... 'cause the whole point is to not give away "the sign" until the very end...

I'll take that as a compliment! So will my brother.
