Have you ever considered whether you would want to go back in time and change your life? Correct all the things you did wrong? I have, many times. I can actually pin point the exact day in my life that I would go back to in order to correct all the wrong in my life. It is the first day of high school. I think about how I would do things so different if I could just start my high school career over again. Now, most of you are probably thinking that high school sucked and why the hell would you want to go back to it? You are right, high school did suck. It sucked for me as well. However, I really feel as though my life got off track the first day I walked through the doors of Richmond High School. There are so many things that I would change starting from that September day when I was 14.
However, the problem with this fantasy is always the same. I think about all the things in my life today that wouldn’t be the same. I wouldn’t have dated Nick’s mom. I wouldn’t have gone into the Navy. Nick wouldn’t have been born. I wouldn’t have met KP, DB and Shar during my time in the Navy. My lost love would truly be lost as I would never have known her. I never would have moved to Texas and met my future ex, and a great ten year relationship would be lost. My jobs would have been different. I would be different.
I guess it is easy to focus on the things in your life that go wrong and how we wish we could change them. But try and remember that along with the wrong in your life, there is an awful lot of right. And for most of us, the right far outweighs the wrong.
