The road(s) not taken...
I was looking at my friend L's facebook page today... She is expecting a baby very soon, so I was looking to see if she had had her little girl yet. Which is hard enough, painful enough. Then I started looking at some of her facebook photos and I saw 2 girls she became best friends with after I left... And all the photos of her having fun with, and hanging out with, so many girlfriends, and it made me feel very sad. I can't help but wonder what my life would have been like, if things had been different, if she & I had stayed friends... If I had stayed outgoing, social, like I was with her, would that have been my life too? Would I have friends now? Would it be so hard for me... Would I be so alone? How different would/could my life have been, if only the things that happened to me, hadn't happened to me? Useless thinking I know, but it makes me wonder who I could have been, if I had not been traumatized. Could I have been like her? Would we still be best friends, instead of virtual strangers? Would I know some of the girls in those pictures? Would I have experienced "having fun"? Would I know what that was?
