I was thinking today about all the choices I've made in my life and how things might be different had I chosen differently; how the direction of my life might have gone. Sometimes I wonder how exactly I ended up here; why here? Why now? Why did it turn out this way? The why questions weigh so heavily.
Sometimes I think the choices I make are fairly inconsequential. Yet some decisions have dramatically altered the course of my life, and there's no getting around that. Generally I can convince myself that I made the right call, that I counted the cost and moved in the right direction; sometimes dodging a bullet, sometimes just taking the higher road. I know there will come a day when I can look back and know that every step, every detour was worth it; that my journey was not wrecked with miscalculations and deviant judgment. There will come a time when I will look back and know without a shadow of a doubt that this is what's best for me. But for today, I will simply weigh the good against the bad, and be thankful that the majority rules in my favor.
