I followed the scholarship instead. I don't regret my choice, since it led me into a new life, but I wonder sometimes what my life would have been if I'd gone to KY. I am happy now. Would I have been happy with that life? I wonder. If I had followed my heart and attended the minor arts college that appealed to me, my life would have been totally different to what it is.

I am happy now. Would I have been happy with that life? I wonder.

And even when you don't choose--you have already chosen. I am intrigued by the figure in this drawing. Her body looks segmented, like a soccer ball. What is the symbol? Yes I know. We each see our own. Life is made up of choices. And even when you don’t choose–you have already chosen.

I was going to be a psychiatrist and get in peoples minds. Instead, I'm to be a lawyer, and get in peoples minds a different way, especially with my specialisation. T'is an odd thing to look at both sides, and I'm always pondering if I took the right one. My choice of studies. I was going to be a psychiatrist and get in peoples minds.

I could have chosen to attend a university that was higher in the "league tables", but I chose on the basis of the course (where I can chose to specialize as much or as little as I like in the literature of various countries), and the city, its art and its atmosphere. It is a decision I am glad I made, and I am reminded of that constantly, despite the fact that sometimes people tell me I might regret it one day. And who knows, maybe I will. The phrase "we've all made our choices" specifically recalls an extremely painful love triangle I was once a part of. But three and a half years on, and three and a half years into a fantastic relationship, I can't say I regret the choice I made there either. My choice of university.

I've left my home, just to let him back. Nomadic adventures, my life in a pack. The bruises are fading, the physical almost forgotten. Pain strikes my heart in a battle between: heart&mind to forgive& forget to forgive& hold true to my worth. "We've all made our choices, she said" Mine is to never live in fear of someone I love ever again! I’ve made a choice of selflessness, as I always do..

Nomadic adventures, my life in a pack.
The bruises are fading, the physical almost forgotten.
Pain strikes my heart in a battle between:
heart&mind
to forgive& forget
to forgive& hold true to my worth.

“We’ve all made our choices, she said”

Mine is to never live in fear of someone I love ever again!
