I often wonder what life would be like if my decisions along the way would have been different. Would I like the music that I like? Would I go to the places I go, or do the things that I do? Would I love the people that I love, and would I have trouble loving the people that need love? People make a point these days at trying to "be themselves" contrary to being a person untrue to their roots or untrue to their character on the stage of life. Is anyone truely one way or another? I mean I know people prefer certain ways of being as opposed to another, but aren't we all creatures of free will and decision? And being that decisions shape the "person" that we are trying deprately to be, aren't we all just playing or acting up to the decisions we have made? The choices we make and paths we take change things around us, and make us feel nostalgic about how things were before we chose. So is it therefore destiny driving our life or is it in fact the decisions we make? All of this begs the question who will I be in ten or even five years? Would I recognize my future self if I met him today? I can't help but wonder what will I be like? Would I like the music I like, the people I like, or the choices I make? Would I like myself and life I chose? Sometimes I feel like "the man of the sea." The one I wrote about before. I feel like I missed something.
