The forks in the road
| I was reading something today that reminded me a lot of the things that me and Ri talk about OFTEN!!! (Thanks Miss Sadie for invoking the memories of these conversations) We can plot out the forks in the road when we look back and see what has brought us to the path we are on now. Those forks also determined the important landmarks we saw along the way and the way that each fork caused the next fork to happen. For example, my life is defined by many forks... When I was about 12, my mom and dad split. This was one of the first forks in my road. I had the choice to go right with my dad or left with my mom like both of my sisters did. I choose right, and I am not saying that it was a bad decision, but my life might have ended differently if I had choosen the other path. Then there is the all-too-common guy path...ya know "Should I date this guy, just sleep with him, or leave him completely alone." Everytime we make one of those decisions, our lives fork off in a whole other direction that we can not go back to. There is also the ever popular "children" path, that we all have not taken yet but most of us will on one fork or another. It would take me forever to go down my list of forks (trust me I have wwwwaaaaayyy too many) but over the course of writing this and my last blog most of you who read this have seen those forks in one aspect or another. And I just want all of you to know that I thank you very much....some of you read and saw some of the biggest mistakes I have made in my not-so-long life and not one of you stopped me. I am not being a smartass either for once. I really mean that. I thank you for letting me fuck up so I could fix it like only I know how. But, as we journey on down this road with it's way-too-many folks, I advise you to advise me...don't let me fuck up so bad from now on. My kids need a break for sure!!! |
