Wish I knew then what I know now

I used to think that breaking up was the end of the world. That feeling in my stomach actually physically hurt. I could have just been a dog but something about the chase and emotions made expending the energy worth it.


Then, I had kids. I learned real quick how saving your energy for the marathon was most important. Since I've been more of a sprinter, I have not been one of the best at this game.
Fortunately, I haven't been the worst. Although my path has been decided, I'm not too old to make some adjustments. But, it would be silly to think that I can still decide what I want to be when I grow up. I can still write a few chapters but the plot has already been written. 

Be careful what you decide to be your plot.


You can always write your endings but being happy cover to cover is what most don't figure out. We write our own experience, although most of us figure out that we're authors too late.
We all wish we knew then what we know now but that's part of the magic of life.
