If I Hadn't...

If I Hadn't...

A Story by Serendipity1000
"

Regrets.

"

If I hadn’t married my first and second husbands

If I hadn’t skipped Algebra class

If I hadn’t dumped Kenny Anderson

If I hadn’t blown smoke rings In the girls’ bathroom

If I hadn’t always stuck up for the underdog

If I hadn’t majored in cheerleading

If I hadn’t been a bum magnet

If I hadn’t been so sensitive

If I hadn’t been so down on myself

If I hadn’t changed jobs

If I hadn’t sold my Chevrolet Impala

If I hadn’t been my own worst enemy

If I hadn’t dropped out of junior college

If I hadn’t changed my hair color

If I hadn’t spent my inheritance

If I hadn’t been so emotional

my life would have been perfect.

Hello Serendipity. I think we all have moments like this when we are in a negative mood and focus on what hasn't gone right for us. Your list has items which are familiar to all of us. I bet you could also write a list that gives the positive side too. The art is getting the balance right. Perfection I reckon is near impossible. Thanks for sharing.

Life is filled with what if's and what if victims .. which is NOT inevitable .. its never too late to turn things around .. but enough of that .. I appreciate the point you make here and enjoyed the autobiographical self disclosure to make that point ..................... I'm gonna give ya 100/100 .. All Good Things,

Neville :)
