Over on ERG's wiblog there has been one of those conversations going on, where you have a vauge discussion about an unknown situation, and to a certain extent it is easy to give the good, sensible advice.
However, as has been pointed out by Jack it would be really good if in real life stuff would just work out once in a while, and so if I'm reading her right (& correct me if I'm wrong, Jack) she has pointed out the floor in the whole thing, it's v. easy to give the right words, but only a robot could really take them on board fully. We all have memories, imaginations and emotions - it is impossible to forget about the past or reflect upon decisions we've made without thinking of what might of been.
The reason that I have decided to take it all up on my wiblog aswell, rather than just leaving the discussion on ERG's, is at the moment I am feeling that I would have made very different decisions last summer, if I had had the gift of hindsight & am reflecting on the way I seem to live the sort of life which sums up the view if you are going to make mistakes you may as well make them big, life changing ones. On the other hand, I know that had I not at various points in my life made these "go for it" decisions alot of the positive stuff wouldn't have come out of the not so positive stuff (if that makes any sense).
So in the end I guess, whilst I would love for it all to work out once in a while, as hoped for and get the happy ending I'd set out to achieve, I'll just have to take on board as much of the theory as possible, focusing not on the "what ifs" but rather on the "what's going to come out of this one" and work through to make the best of what I'm doing now. Sorry if it all sounds abit fluffy and stuff, and as I said I I know it's so much harder in practice than theory, but as I know all too well where the "what ifs" lead I have to go for the fluffy option.
