and think...what the hell was I thinking?...

yeah...I've been doing that alot lately...hahaha...

all that matters is....that I'm over whatever it was...

a waste of time? no...a definite learning experience that I'm glad is in the past...

growing up is a rush. no one knows what is in the future...

I hope whatever my future is, it will be alot better than the last couple of years...

I know for sure...I'll think twice...

We've all done that Shorty, chin up , big smile and remember this:

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past,
You can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches!

I have had that experience in learning. I have had good teachers who have taught me stuff despite my rebellious attitude. I was thinking at the time that there was no way that I could get what they were trying to teach me. Especially in long division with math. I used to hate math. This teacher showed me where I made the mistake in my figuring and it was like oh I get it. I have tried to take short cuts with things like that in life and just had to take some things in baby steps.

"what the hell was I thinking" is probably one of the most used questions when refering to the past. I hate to assume anything, so I won't go any futher than say I empathize.

Life is a struggle. Nothing worst than living in a gilded cage.

I look over my shoulder occasionally...but I don't live there...

Everything I do is appropriate for that moment in time...

When looking/reflecting back, I am in a different place, so have a different perspective, and may feel I could have done it differently.

That is when the learning kicks in...

Your future is your decision, and the choices you make, so it will be positive, with the usual bumps and unexpected turns in the road.

Growing up is a rush..I love it...and embrace every step of it.

many times!

but, in the earlier years, without life's insights... it was more acute.

Now, as I look back, I say "AHH! I get it!"

Life is full of choices... some good, some not so much... Not so sure we have control over them all...but, most we do. Biggest peeve is folks lying to themselves, or making continuous mistakes willingly because it's easier than truth...

For myself..lol. Thought twice, three times... until thinking in a frozen fear kept me from making any decisions at all... I still occassionaly do this...
So, it's a life long thing...
