What If?

What if? what if I did this instead of that? What if I told him I loved him when I had the chance? Would things be different? Would I be different?

Life has so many questions and no answers. We may think we have answers but in all reality we don"t. We have answers we make up in our head, but none that are real. My favorite question is what if? What if dot. dot. dot. Everyone has their own words to fill in. I think we're supposed to wonder, wonder about that boy who got away, wonder about words we didn't say when we should have, wonder if maybe I should have just laughed. Questions keep the past alive, but also haunt the present and taunt the future. If we constantly ask whats going to happen, we're going to miss what's going on right now. Sometimes questions help clear a situation, other times they confuse it more. At the end of the day , when I'm going over the events that happened I start as asking myself what if. dot. dot. dot. 

Then I realize that my question, is just that. A question. Then another thought occurs, what if I just let go? What if I let the past, stay the past. Lessons learned, lived, and done. Let the future stay a mystery. An unmapped part of my life that only I can reveal. Let the present stay my priority. What if is a powerful statement, but what if, I let it stay a statement. And go on living my life. No questions asked .
