It's funny how our past frames us.. How the person we used to be never lets loose of the person we are.. Past failures and disappointments.. Even victories take hold of us.. They haunt us like ghosts or visit us like old friends..
Human beings are ambitious.. We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing.. For the most part, that's okay.. Ambition is good.. Chasing things with integrity is good.. Dreaming.. As long as the chase doesn't diminish what we already have.. The goodness we take for granted, the people we take for granted.. The lives we take for granted..
It's been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is what might have been.. But what of the man who's faced with what was ? Or what may never be ? Or what can no longer be ? Choosing the right path is never easy.. It's a decision we make with only our hearts to guide u.. But sometimes we find our way to something better.. Sometimes we fight through the regret and remorse of our mistakes.. Our malice and our jealousy and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be.. And that's when we find our way to something better or when something better finds its way to us..
