It is so weird how things change all the time. If you look over your life and think about how you acted/looked/thought when you were five, fifteen, twenty and now. Im sure that you are still recognizable as you but think about how many paths were placed in front of you and how the ones you choose have shaped you.
I think about my decision to move into my moms house when I was fourteen and change schools. What if I had not done that? What if I would have gone to Hoover High? Would it have changed anything? I do know that I would have missed out on knowing alot of incredible people. I know that I would have been a very small fish in a very big pond at Hoover. I know that I may not be as close to my mom as I am now and that would have not been a good thing.
Then I think about my decision to go to Alabama over Auburn. Most of my good friends at homewood...including my semi boyfriend at the time...were going to Auburn but I choose to go to Alabama for a few different reasons. So if I had chosen the other option what would my life be like right now? Would I have gotten a different degree? Would I have married my then boyfriend? Or would I still have met Tommy some way some how?
Don't get me wrong I love how my life has turned out and im glad that all my decisions have gotten me here an made me the person that I am today. I dont regret any of the paths I have chosen. I just think it is human nature to think about all the different decisions we make over time from something as small as what to wear today to big huge life changing decisions and how they all effect us and effect everyone around us.
