Life Path

Is it life who brought me here? Or is it me? Is it the choices I made out of the options life gave me, the paths I decided to ignore and those I eventually walked down. It's fascinating to me to remember all the things that could have been, would have been, might not have been, if I hadn't done this, or that, or said this, or been there at this time and on that day. The places I would not have seen in specific moments, the things I would not have experienced, the memories I would not have made and the people I would not have met. There are lessons I have learned and things I have realized, remembered, cherished, hated. And I am proud, glad, blessed to have had these choices presented to me, to have had the choices I've made at all. So in a way life brought me here, but so did I.
