I'm now on the other side of my life. My childhood past, but not forgotten fades just a little. My children are getting older one off to college soon, the other 15 going on 30. It is in some ways a good place to be and I'm not disappointed in it, was only hoping to be a little further along on the life path of what I really wanted. We don't always get what we want, so we make the best of what we do have. Only in myself am I disappointed, not in anyone else.
I only wish that I had been a little stronger and reached for what I wanted and not let anyone else tell me any different. I had ample opportunities to take a hold of many different things but was afraid. Afraid of failing, afraid of someone not approving. I let fear control a big part of my life, but I'm on the other side now and I can see there was nothing to be afraid of, I held myself back. I will no longer do that. I will speak up for myself, and I will be heard. My thoughts will find fruition in anything I can make happen.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
