Our path

"If you choose your own path, you don't need navigation."

I was stalking people on Facebook, trying to find something to write about, and found that quote on my boyfriends page. I think it's funny, because that quote is so typical him, and at the same time it makes me feel so uneasy.
If there's no path, how do you know what way to go? Sure, go wherever you want, but how do you even know what you want then? It feels like there's nothing to lean on anymore. You just have to find what makes you happy...
But I don't think that there's just one way to be happy. I think you can be happy under most circumstances, and you can always take a turn for the better. Most things that make us happy appear unexpectedly, or from coincidence.
The path that we set out for is only really a pass-time, while we wait around for those moments that make or break us.
