About a year ago in school we looked at the poem The Roads Not Taken by Robert Frost , a beautiful poem so many of us know, and if you don't here it is.......
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

They say when we die we don't regret things we did do we regret the things we didn't , and i guess there right, but then again you cant know that,you don't know what could have happened, life could be completely different ,it could take a turn for the worse or even better but will get the chance to know.
So as we lay back in the last moments of our life we think about lost opportunities ,now if I'm honest I would rather not think about all the lost opportunities and choice I didn't. I want to think about all the decisions I did make ,even the bad ones cause although they seem bad they lead me to exactly were I needed to be ,maybe not were I wanted. What I'm trying to say is that I wanna look back at the decisions I made that made me happy that made me, well me.
Maybe I would like to know about the what ifs but I'll never know and that does worry me ,what if pick the wrong thing, It keeps me wondering and picking decisions that I think will make my imagination true, but life's stupid like that what ever we expect, it wont happen that way but It doesn't mean life doesn't work out.
I think we have to make the wrong decisions or we would never have regrets and regrets push us on to try again and be happy with our choices.
