Sehnsucht translating roughly to the feelings of yearning and desire for alternative paths in life.

inspired by, and including, the following infamous quote from Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar:

"I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet."
