More Thoughts On Time

by

Before I get started, I wanted to highlight Amanda’s post on time in which she responds to the quotes I listed on Tuesday with her own thoughts.

If/when you respond to the prompts be sure to leave a comment and let me know.

Welcome to yet another Friday free write. I find it funny how the world works sometimes. As you know, this week’s theme is time. Last night, my husband and I ended up having a long talk about our past. For a while in our relationship, I was being manipulated by a “friend” of ours and I was not at all a nice person to him. The manipulation does not make me innocent, but it does still mess a little with my sense of who I am today.

I’m learning to look at what I did and accept what I did so I can get to the point of self-forgiveness. I wish I could go back and lessen the damage I did.

What I am leading up to is what I would like you to write about today.

With the subject of time comes the thoughts and wishes that we would have done something different. If we had only done this, it could have lead to a better that. What would have happened if I had summoned the courage to ask him/her out? Stand up to my parents? Buy that new car?

For five minutes (at least) free write (no editing, no stopping) about something you wish you could go back and change. If there’s nothing you wish you could go back and change, write about a big event in your life that would have lead you down a different path if the outcome had been different. Explore the possibilities.
