PROMPT: November 14th - Think back to a moment in your life when you were faced with making a difficult choice. (Which city to move to, which college to attend, what to ask Santa for, etc) How might your life be different if you had made a different choice than the one you did?

No! No! No! I do not want to know how my life would be different if I had made different decisions. I do not want to go back (even if I could) and change the decisions I made in the pasts. The decisions I made in the past created the person I am today. I am just beginning to like the person I am, and I do not want to go back and start the process over again.

"Returning Takes Too Long" 

It takes too long
to retrace my steps
over the shards of memory,
and across the petrified tears of yesterday.

It takes too long
to follow paths covered
with the dust of history,
littered with scraps of illusions,
and strewn with the bones of vain imaginings.
