Heh... it is.... I'd have become a completely different person if I'd have taken any other forks in the road I took to get here.

It's a little bit fun to look back at all the people I thought I'd be, and how none of them are right.

It gives me a little perspective on those younguns I know who think they've got things planned. (heh)

Is anyone here on the thread leading the life they thought they would at 21?

Yup. Kind of sentimental, too. Some of those people would have been fun, I think. But I still have time and lots of stuff on my to-do list.

I once had a lady I worked with ask me if I was interested in a menage with she and her husband. I'm not kidding you one single bit.

"It woulda changed everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new bedspread and new curtains I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting. I'd have to get new friends. I'd have to get orgy friends. ... Naw, I wasn't ready for it." ;-)

Considering how much more of an idiot I was at 21 I hardly think that counts for much. And actually I am not all that far off from it... except the lack of wife and kids and absence of Global Domination. All things in due time...

My answer would be yes and no.

I wanted to get married and have children, but I thought I would be a world traveler before then. Turns out I am lucky to make it to New Orleans once in a blue moon. Havent been out of the country since I got married and we went to Cancun Mexico for our honeymoon. Hubby is something of a homebody.

But I agree with the others : if I had taken a different path, I dont even think I would be conservative! I'd just be...CONFUSED!

Still, I wish there were some things I could go back and erase from my past....

Hi all--

On my 21st birthday, things were looking rather bleak for me.

They got better within two years, worsened somewhat about six years ago, but not as far down as they had been.

Trusting the Lord is occasionally challenging :)

I dunno, I never give the future much thought. I figure it's a waste of time... to quote the military maxim, "No battleplan ever survives contact with the enemy." So, I don't spend a lot of time making plans.

Heck, I didn't even go online until I was 24.
