If you regret things you can change it opens the door to doing something about it. Most would rather just regret. Taking action is indeed risky. It’s safest to regret the things we can’t change.

What if you run with it? Add to the mess, charge with it in the same direction and see where that road down the canyon leads! Holding the mess back is force against force, a steady equilibrium.

Marillion's 'Clutching at Straws' seems so appropriate for this. Safety, stagnation, or adventure/change? 'Even if you do not choose, you still have made a choice!' (Rush, 'Today's Tom Sawyer') ‘Still drowning, clutching at straws…’

As a result, I'm constantly wavering. Do I remain with the person I love, the family that has taken me in as its own, even such a decision leads to a possible dead-end in my own independent life and career? Or do I cut my losses, return to the space in which I'm legally accepted, and throw myself into the everyday world of the American everyman? I've sacrificed nearly every bit of my life to date to safe decisions. These last few years have been filled with anything but. I'm not sure if I'm cut out for them, or to answer for such recklessness.

Since I decided to go forward with it, I'm like a new man, ready to face challenges instead of hiding.
