Something I Think "What If" About
I have been thinking about this topic since last night and have come to the conclusion that I simply don't think "what if..." about anything. It seems fairly pointless to me to do so. I'm entirely too pragmatic to spend time on this thought. I mean, I'd much rather focus on the "what is" than the "what ifs" in my life.
I could wax on about the things I would change in my past or the things I wish had turned out different (and there are those things), but the reality is that this is where I am now and those are the things that happened. That doesn't mean I don't have feelings (sometimes very strong feelings) about those happenings, but that I accept them all as reality, good, bad, or ugly. And it's in the acceptance, I believe, that we can heal.
