Oh, the double edged sword. I’m the first to admit you can never go back; but if you could, what’s the one thing that you would change? I realize it’s an unrealistic question but deep down inside, I would be surprised if you said absolutely nothing.

If I was being completely honest with myself, there are a few things in the last thirty plus years I would have done differently. Some apply to my immediate family, some apply to me intimately as a person, and some even apply to my married life.
I have spent my entire life as a driving force for everyone else; fiercely competitive with a core focus on progress and success.
As a person never wanting to stop moving forward, I can’t believe that in this very moment I am thinking about what could have been.
It’s not because I am feeling especially reflective, it's just the word itself planted the seed. As soon as I chose 'yesterday', my imagination literally ran.
My childhood, sports, teen years, discipline, marriage, small children, grown children, career; the reaction was swift. That said, I am going to go there just the same.
If I could venture to any given yesterday what's the one thing I would change? It's more of a wish really.
I simply would have been free to be ME.
We play the cards we're dealt, huh?!
ReplyDeleteWe do. We play them well!
ReplyDeleteAll those things in the past, they've made you who you are today. I can relate to being the driving force for others. I hope you now have the opportunity to be just YOU.
