Departing dialog

I'm a child with a loving family. Do I have to leave my home?
Yes, you truly must.
I love my roommates and college friends, may I linger here?
No, it's time to go.
The world is so large, and I'm so small, how can I take this step?
Your course is set, the time has come to take a leap of faith.
I want to be forever here, where I am comfortable, where I am loved. Why must time pass on?
Because you must progress.
I'm happy here. Must I move on?
You'll find greater joy at the journey's end, don't stop now.

My heart is weary from the walk, I think I must stay here. I can not take another step.
Haven't you been listening? There are better things ahead!
Yet I am weak. I cannot journey on.
Silly child, don't you remember? You needn't walk alone? His strength is ever with you, if only you will ask.
