deathpixie | Turning back time...

indianaj asked a rather question here, which made me think a bit more than I'm used to on a Sunday morning. *grins*

It's something that's occurred to me a lot over the past couple of years. I make no secret of the fact that I feel I've lost years, that I have to play catch-up with my life now. But that doesn't mean I would want to go back and change that. Yes, there were some pretty shitty times, but there were some also great ones, and maybe if BRM and I had split five years earlier than we had, I'd been in a much better position career-wise, I would have been able to get a working tourist visa for my overseas travels (meaning I could _work_), and such, but I wouldn't be the person I am right now. And I probably wouldn't have the friends I have now.

So yeah, I have regrets, but to think that time was wasted... That's just self-destructive. Because if I think that way, I'll end up bitter and twisted and living in a house alone with a hundred cats.

Sure there's things I'd like to change. But I'm smart enough to know that you have to accept what's done is done, and make the most of it.
