Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? Those were pretty cool. If you didn’t like the ending of the story, or even the middle, you could go back and choose another way for things to pan out. Wouldn’t it be nice if life were that way?
Or what about Barbie? She gets to be anything and everything anyone ever dreamed of being all at once. There’s beach Barbie and business Barbie and doctor Barbie and sparkle Barbie, and the list goes on and on.
I’ll admit, I’m usually not satisfied with my life and where it is. I’m always looking for something bigger, better, different, whatever. And I seriously wonder sometimes, “What would my life be like if ________?” So I decided to really think about it—like a Choose My Own Adventure life. If I could go back and change certain decisions I’ve made…what would my life be like…?
I’m not going to post my answers here—that’s way too personal for the whole world to see. But, I did write them down, and I’ve decided that I really don’t know if changing my decisions would bring me any closer to being my “dream self”.

Sometimes I wonder who I’d be today

I've got my own list of what ifs, I guess.
Currently, I'm not sure which choice will get me to the happy finish and which will end me in a slime pit on my next turn. I'm paralyzed with indecision.
Maybe the happy finish is after the slime pit, but it's all disguised.
