What if...? <BR/><BR/>I've beaten myself up about it, cried myself to sleep about it, written about it, looked at it from every angle with one or two others, convinced myself it was the moment I would take back. The one thing I would alter, the less travelled road I would take.<BR/><BR/>No more. I have to break the power it has over me. I have to let it go or else I'm lost, forever. <BR/><BR/>And so I have. <BR/><BR/>I chose because I chose, did because I did and, like you, now I wouldn't change it because I am where I am and while I may not be as happy with my life as you so obviously are with yours, I will someday be in that better place.bennyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458929948666472435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-60018862957639882102008-08-09T17:36:00.000+01:002008-08-09T17:36:00.000+01:00Lottie,I do agree with the "not changing", cos it ...Lottie,<BR/>I do agree with the "not changing", cos it brings you to this very moment.....but if I had done things differently I would be happy to be in that very moment too I'm sure? <BR/><BR/>I have spent the last year thinking, rehashing, wondering? none of it helps, none of it makes the mistakes any easier, but it has to be done because next time I want to make a better decision?<BR/><BR/>Great Post!Midget Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114529056109093110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-52622672533222207512008-08-09T03:50:00.000+01:002008-08-09T03:50:00.000+01:00Lottie I'm with Darragh & Jo on this but u...Lottie I'm with Darragh & Jo on this but up until 5 years ago I would have been very much in the no-change camp because in the end changing the past is a form of suicide. <BR/><BR/>But more than just to take away the bad parts of the past, I'd change things cause if you're gonna have the opportunity to live again what is the point in doing everything exactly the same again. I do love that retro Kylie track though:...if I had to do it all again, I wouldn't change a single thiiinngg, there's no questioning in my heart, when it comes to our love, I wouldn't change a thing.<BR/><BR/>I agree, good post.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-32857357615009564072008-08-08T13:20:00.000+01:002008-08-08T13:20:00.000+01:00I don't think it's gloatiness!

I think it's about attitude, acceptance, a philosphical mindset, peace inside yourself, not gloatiness!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-3037720745314156692008-08-08T11:53:00.000+01:002008-08-08T11:53:00.000+01:00If I had a guarantee that things wouldn't change d...If I had a guarantee that things wouldn't change dramatically - sure there are loads of things I would change.<BR/><BR/>I'll go take my glaotyness elsewhere.Lottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936847898550251079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-25954792615993298762008-08-08T10:52:00.000+01:002008-08-08T10:52:00.000+01:00Me too Darragh.

Too hard, really. <BR/><BR/>Good post, Lottie.

It occupies far too much of my time. My grievances, the people I met or didn't meet, things I should have said etc. It's all tough but it's all gone. <BR/><BR/>I'd change loads, Lottie, if I could. Loads and loads and loads.Darraghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07043841842862846070noreply@blogger.com
