You are at an unmarked crossroads in the woods. Which way will you choose?

Select an answer:

According to my feelings – I let myself be guided by my intuition. The most direct way – let it be behind me. The most overgrown one – maybe I'll discover something hidden. I'll sit down and not go anywhere for a while. To the place where I haven't been before.
