Perspective

I seem to always be the one there, ready and willing to support anyone who needs me. I'm also the first the find out for myself the hows and whys so I can better understand whats going on. A lot of the time I try too hard and get swept up into a mangled web of drama, which has never done me a damn bit of good. Knowing what little I do about my habits and weaknesses nowadays I tend to voice my opinion rather than bite my tongue and just move on.

I also tend to over think the obvious choices in my life, especially when certain things don't feel right or fall into place like I think they should. Not that I like to be lead by fate, It's more like fate is tempting me to trip up again and I want to be ready. I find that it's better in the long run to take a step back and weigh my options, allowing me to better understand the many paths before us. This not only brings clarity my way, it gives me the ability to say I know what I'm getting myself into, and my family will either like it or they won't.

Luckily I married a man with a WILD imagination, so I won't be seeing a padded room any time soon.  

This is particularly important seeing all the ways my regrets, might have been avoided. If I had looked at them with a different perspective first, who knows. Then again there was a time I might have actually ended up in a loony bin so.... I'll take my chances with the here and now.

Here goes nothing!
