An Interesting Question

I ride with Maria and Nora everyday from school and today, out of the blue, Maria asked us what we would do differently in life if we had the chance.

I was blank in the beginning. But it became clearer to me as we went on. I answered: " I would have married early."

Not that I even came close to that in my life... but I did realize that anything remotely related to that has been shunned away ...by no less than me... early on. Fear. Cynicism. Even conceit at one point. But even if I would have opened my doors to a possibility of this happening in my life if I had the chance, I do not regret it. Maybe that is why I was blank.

I have many regrets in life...and yet I always find myself in a safe place. That's the good thing about always playing safe. You never win but you never lose to.

Not that it is great that way but..hey, I don't need anymore drama in my life beyond what my own imagination can give me.

But I need these questions sometimes... I have been very unhappy for the past weeks and somehow, when I examined myself to answer this question, I found peace. Thank you God.

True...and most of the time they are found in unexpected (sometimes unlikely) places or moments. That's what make life more exciting. Thanks for dropping by.
