you can't move forward if you only stand still
After adding an old high school friend on facebook tonight, I found some pictures of some other high school friends enjoying their college years together, and some of their more recent pictures... it's interesting to see how the various social circles I was a part of in high school have intertwined themselves over the years. Some people that I knew from very different places are now best friends. Unfortunately, I've drifted away from most of the people that I was close to back then. Makes me sad sometimes. and it makes me think about the choices I've made since then.
Hard to believe it's been 8 years since high school. It's crazy to think about how much my life has changed, and how much I have changed as a person. I can't help but think of how I got here... the many choices and decisions in life that have brought me to this point. What if I had stayed home? What if I had gone to Gainesville with half of my graduating class? Who would I have stayed friends with? What new friends would I have made? What degree would I have graduated with? What kind of job would I have? Where would I be living? and more than that, would I be the person that I am today? I wonder how my life would be different.
Sometimes I wish life were like those Choose Your Adventure books. I would always peek ahead to see where my choices took me. Sometimes it felt like I was writing the story, even though everything was already there on the pages. But life isn't like that. I know how I want my life to turn out, but I don't know how it will turn out. I wish I knew which page to turn to next...
I know I'm late with pictures. Hopefully tomorrow night.
