Up or Down

Many times deep within my thoughts I find myself standing on a mountain. The wind is blowing and the clouds are swirling above.  Like the clouds I am in turmoil with myself. I don't know if I'm climbing up the mountain or down.  If I AM climbing up the mountain I know I am 1/4 way to the top of that craggy peak. It is the hardest part of the climb but if I made it this far I can make it to the top.  If I am climbing down then the hardest part is over and although I am tired from crossing that mountain top I know the rest will be fine.  I'll stop on the way down to enjoy the scenery, the people the wildlife, human and animal lol,  What I want an answer to is when I get to a certain point who will be around me?  I suppose like my life behind me, I will continue to have people pass through my life.  One thing I know, I don't want to burn anymore bridges instead I just want to cross them.
