Change

More often than not people ask me questions about my life. Some pertaining to how I live it, why I do things, blah blah blah. There are 3 questions that I get asked way more often than the others, that is if people actually have the courage to ask them. I'll be addressing all three questions at one point or another but i figured I'd start with this one first:

"If you could go back to that day and stop yourself, would you?"

The first time I was asked this my immediate answer was yes, of course I would. Since that day i've spent alot of time pondering this question and this is the conclusion i've come up with. Lets suppose you sat down one day to read a book. You start the storyline not knowing whats before you, but after awhile you find yourself engulfed in whats happening. You can't get enough of it, you think it's the most badass thing you've ever laid eyes on. All of a sudden the you notice the ending chapters are ripped out.

This is what its like for me.Yes it absolutely sucks to not knowing what would of happened but i think I'm more caught up in how the story would of ended rather than wanting to go back and stop myself so I could actually live my life the way it would of turned out. I dream of going back and becoming a professional athlete with a rockstar life but in all reality I know it wouldn't of turned out like that. That's all just some fantasy that I wanted to live.

That's why my answer is, now, is no. I wouldn't trade a day of my life now for a hundred the other way because I know that everything that has happened to me is what make me the person I am. I'm everything I want to be and am headed in the direction i want to be headed in. In my eyes i AM the pro athlete with a rockstar life.

The point-

 The thing about the book ending short might suck right at first but it gives you the chance to do something else. It gives the chance to re-write the ending and make it how you want it too. Everyone has something they think they messed up on and probably wish they could go back and change. But do you really want to? Just think about it.  Everything that has happened to you has gotten you where you are. Maybe it's where you wanna be, maybe its not. If its not the good news is it's not too late. Rip the last few pages out of your book and grab a pen.
