What If?

Have you ever stopped to think about where you would be if one single thing wouldn't of happened to you? I find myself questioning this from time to time. Don't get me wrong I am completely happy where I am right now but what if? What if growing up my life was a little easier?  What if I wouldn't of played any sports in high school?  What if I would have gone to college and gotten my degree right after high school? What if I wouldn't of gotten a job at the age of 16? What if I wouldn't of worked two jobs for 3 years? What if I wouldn't of moved out of my house at age 17? What if I had a closer relationship with my parents? What if I wouldn't of met the many people who have impacted me in such a great way? What if I had never encountered struggle to get where I am? What if I didn't have to work while going to school? What if I didn't have someone to support me through it all? WHAT IF? These things cross my mind from time to time, its inevitable. Truth be told I'm happy about how things unfolded in my life. I only have one job at the moment and am attending school full time. I have an awesome support system that encourages me and helps me every step of the way. All of the people I have met, maybe just in passing have influenced me and helped shape me into who I am today.  I wouldn't change a single thing that has happened in my life just because it has gotten me to where I am today and for that I am truly thankful!
