The feelings of nostalgia that I sometimes feel can be intolerable. For example, tonight I was blessed with the opportunity to sit and chat with a couple old friends of mine from high school. As I realized what a chunk of my life they had missed, I couldn't help but retrace some of my steps, especially the ones that shaped who I am today.
Immediately my mind strays to past relationships. How different have I become because of people who have been in and out of my life? What would my life be like today had I made different choices regarding those people? What would happen if I called them right now?
And my mind needs to go to bed. Some things are best left unsettled.
