I'm Back!
I apologize for taking so long to post a new installment but I've been a little bit busy.
You see I recently became engaged to my boyfriend Joseph, whom I love SO much. However, He was married once before and we are having to deal with his ex-wife due to the fact that they have a child together. Who is probably one of the cutest little buttons ever but I digress.
Basically, Joseph had made a comment recently that he wished that he could go back in time and stop himself from meeting Her.
And that got me thinking of what I would change if I too could travel back in time.
Here's a short list of the ideas I had:
- Tell my younger self not to allow us to gain weight
- Have less stage fright because I would sing in public more often
- Stop a tragic death in the family
What if I did go back and stop that persons death?
How would it effect the lives of our friends and, more importantly, my family?
And those thoughts of the past kept me in kind of a haze for a few days. I was dwelling so much on it.
Thinking, "oh, I wish it were real" or "ooh! I'd change that!"
I was dwelling on the past so much that it didn't seem like I was living in my present.
And that is where I was forced to draw a line.
You cannot allow yourself to get so caught up in your past that you prevent yourself from having a future.
I am so grateful for my loving family, fiance, and dear friends that going back would only just change the course of my entire life.
I decided that even if I could, I wouldn't because for the first time in my adult life, things are looking up.
I wouldn't change it for the world.
The point of this blog is simply...Don't dwell on the past.
Sure it is good to reminisce the good times and take value and lessons from the bad times.
Just don't let yourself get a summer home in remembrance land.
As Always,
DanDan
