It’s 4 a.m.

and I’m thinking about life-changing events. It almost makes a person wistful when we look back on what got us where we are today. Now, I know if I changed any of the events in my life, I would not be where I am now, which means I would not change them for the world. Heck, if I knew ahead of time what had to happen to get here, I would have signed up for this road. In my opinion, I am a successful woman who has a lot to be thankful for. However, if I had a choice to change things and still end up where I am, I would. I don’t know if that would do anything, if that would change my experiences, and, in turn, change my outcome, but there some things that I have done in the past that I shake my head and laugh at. Maybe, there is a parallel world out there (or several millions, in fact) that explore all the options of each decision I have ever made. That’s absolutely mind boggling to think about, though. One little change anywhere along the road could change the outcome, and if each person on the planet had a parallel dimension open up every time he or she made a decision, the multi-verse would be an exponentially expanding place that would probably rip the fabric of space and time. Uh oh, geek speak. I thought I had cured that. Ah well, once a geek, always a geek.
There are some mistakes, however,  (thankfully, none so overwhelming that they couldn’t be fixed), that I would like to have changed. Heck, there are some that I’m still paying for (literally). All-in-all though, if I was taken back in time with the knowledge I now have and was told that I could make all the changes I wanted, but that the outcome would be completely different, I could honestly tell whoever it was to “bring it on”, I’ll take what’s coming because I know there’s something awesome at the end.
