This was the prologue to a story I had been working on.
This was written back in October of 2009.
There's that one thing that changes us all.
Sometimes I wonder if I was changed before this. I didn't know for sure, but I had come to learn that 'What ifs...' couldn't happen. What happened in the past, what you'd done, can't change. You can dwell on it, but it won't mean anything. All it does is keep you from living your life.
I'd had the same 'What ifs...' all my life, the same 'if I had just...’ They didn't change until something else happened. Something I never saw, even though it was right in front of me. I should have listened, seen it, and trusted myself. But, before I came to realize that trusting people and letting love in could save someone, I couldn't even trust myself.
Now, looking back on it, I can still find myself asking, 'What if...'.
