what if?

what if things had been different?

what if - a dangerous question that we all ask at one point or another. a year ago i was in a bad place. fighting to be released from a long-term turned negative relationship that had been sucking the life out of my heart and soul for close to 2 years. although it wasn't pretty, i emerged riding an enormous wave of relief and rode that wave for the upcoming months gaining a clear understanding of my inner self, and what is really important in this world. cumbersome, weighted thoughts vaporized into weightless hopes and dreams. it felt so good to be free.

but the question at hand is ... what if. what if, i had done what was best for me earlier, instead of "hanging in there" for so long? what if i had left this town and moved west in pursuit of bigger and better things? where would i be today?

i live life with no regrets, however i can't help but wonder. then again, it's never too late to make a change...
