Finding Hope

They say you never know the exact moment that will alter the path of your life until you're looking it in the eye.

What will you do? How will you react? If you could experience the moment again and change your course of action for a different outcome, would you?

For me, the answer to the last question is easy.

Of course I'd go back and do things differently. But it's easy to sit here now, months later, and say that. If I could, I would go back to the moment I lost my temper. I would stop yelling and keep driving. I would have never pulled over to the side of the road. I would have said those words everyone wants to hear, what everyone is supposed to say.

It's easy to play the "I would" game. But that's not reality. And it only makes the truth that much harder to deal with.
