Sitting on the fence

Talking with my grandmother the other day brought up an interesting topic of conversation... and it really made me think. If it all was going to end right now, what would you want to have done differently?

I know that I would have wanted to spend less time worrying, and more time going with the flow. I would have wanted to tell people how I actually feel instead of pretending that everything is ok all the time. I would have wanted to tell my family that I love them, and I would have wanted to finish reading all the books I put down.

I would have wanted to talk to more people, to write more, and to learn how to cook. I would have tried that cafe on the corner I always pass but never go into. I would have wanted to go more places and to see more; even though I know that you can’t do it all. I would have wanted to spend less money on things and spend more on people.

I would have wanted to judge people less and to stop assuming the worst. I would have wanted to give people the benefit of the doubt more instead of just assuming that they didn’t come through.

good thing I still have more time.
