Being offered an opportunity to confront your past should be viewed as a gift, from unexpected corners of the world we came together, to be part of something that shaped us as adults.
A chance for stories to be shared, lives to be explored and new memories to be created.
The children we were are so very far removed from the adults we are now, each of us has found a way forward, some of us much further from home than we ever imagined.
Going back to a certain point isn't a bad thing, it is an opportunity to understand yourself better, to understand why you became the person you did and the forces that shaped your journey.
In that understanding comes the knowledge that home is where you are, the people you surround yourself with and the actions you take.
If we knew then what we know now ?
Well I am sure that has been pondered a thousand times over.......age and dare I say it, maturity has shown me one thing, consider all options before proceeding, its not always about you, maybe it never was.
So where to from here........maybe the lesson is that things change.......people change, I changed. I have the ability to express who I am without fear or judgment, who I have become and where I go in life and as I have discovered, we are all the masters of our destiny, ultimately each decision made is a step forward.
For the first time in a very long time I have found peace, with myself, with my past and with my future........without a certain person, we would never have come together, we would never have had this opportunity........Tom, Thank you my Friend.
