This week – had I not chosen a different path – would have been my 33rd Wedding Anniversary. 33 years ago! – a whole lifetime.
I got married at 23 after 6 months of dating the man. 8 years and 2 children later we divorced.
Do you ever look back at your life – or lives as I now like to think of the many different stages of my life – and wonder what might have happened if…. Would I be the same person I am now? (no) – would I be happy? (don’t know).
It’s true to say I wouldn’t have had 2 more children, I wouldn’t have had the experiences I had (some good, some bad) and my life at 56 (now) would undoubtedly be very different to the current reality. I even wonder if all possible outcomes actually exist – a sort of ever – expanding scenario of endless possibilities with each outcome following its path. I guess if that were true this current consciousness would only be able to inhabit one scenario anyway.
So it is what it is. A wedding anniversary that was never meant to be.
