Should I...

"D" is for decisions. I've had to make a lot of these throughout my life so far. For me, I've always wondered what would have happened if I had made the wrong choice or a different choice? What path would my life be on now?

Does anyone else ever think about the different decisions they've made and where things could have taken them? Where would you be if you took a different path? I could be working as an administrator in a hospital now, possibly a singer and musician in a band or maybe an author of poetry and books! There are so many places I could be if I had just made a different turn.

So I'm curious. Where could you be? What choices and decisions have you had to make?

Even though I wish I'd made different decisions when I was a teenager (and then my early twenties - regards to ballet and finishing my law degree instead of abandoning it), I love where I am in life right now. So... I think overall - I'm fine with where I am now

Hmm...Thought provoking.

I suppose it depends on if you think that choices you've made could have gone another way.

Since I became an adult, I've always lived by "Whatever choices I make are the right ones." I am where I am because I chose not to believe in anything other than what I deicde.

Sure, I had a choice to make when I decided to become a writer, but for me, there was no alternative, only what I wanted to do.

Does that make sense or does it make me sound conceited?

Choices ?

If I had chosen the right numbers of the lottery I would be rich. But I'm not.

Seriously, I would have been able to continue my studies and I would be a video game developper right now. But nope, I quitted them to focus on one of my dream, beeing a cop. Result ? I failed at the last test. Well I have a job now. The job itself is not good, but I work with awesome people, even my boss is the best. That guy has a golden heart.

But I don't feel at my place. I don't feel complete. I know I'm still young but if it continues like that I can't imagine the level of "boringness" (is that right ?) of my life.

So right now I'm saving as much money as I can and waiting until the good day comes for executing my plans. Don't ask me to explain its CLASSIFIED.

I think it's healthy for people to reflect on the choices they've made and how other choices might have panned out, if only to gain a better understanding of where you were as a person at different stages of life. Like one of my favorite "RENT" songs, I believe you should "forget regret, or life is yours to miss". I've made so many choices in my almost 3 decades in this life, that could have drastically impacted the course of it. Ultimately I am happy with where I am at so far though, the wisdom i've gained is priceless to me and I would not be the same person I am today if I had made different choices. I could have pursued medical school, I could be married living in canada, I could be a chess master. Instead i'm a gamer/movie/tv/anime/sports buff who has mastered the art of mastering things in an extremely unorthodox manner YAY!
