Do you wonder what it would be like to live somewhere completely opposite of where you do now?
I always do. I live in the suburbs. The closet beach resort is 3 hours away. The closest "country" get away is about 2 hours. The city on the other hand is 20 minutes. I was flipping through the TV channels today at work (I'm a nanny, I get to do this when O naps) & came across a channel called WealthTV. They were featuring islands in Bahamas & I fell in love. I was thinking, wow, I could live there and be so content, living on island time. When I'm at the beach, I NEVER want to come home! I'm not sure what it is, but I'm happiest there.

Or what about in the open country where you can walk on without having to worry about cars passing by quickly or where your closest neighbor is a mile or two away. You have your own place to escape all the time. Life is simple.

I know places likes this exist. They have to. I would just like to experience living somewhere, even for a day, other then HERE, where I live now.
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to have your divorced parents be together?
My parents divorced when I was 13 years old. I believe I took it better then most kids that age do. I knew I didn't want my parents to fight anymore; that they both deserved to be happy. But I was find myself wondering, WHAT IF? What if they were still married? What would life be like? I have a feeling that if they were still married, I wouldn't have experienced half the things I did. Most of my friends parents are divorced as well. It makes me so sad sometimes though, especially on holidays and birthdays. I feel like I'm always having to chose which place to go. I wonder where we would live, how I would look at relationships, how my trust in people would be different. I have a wonderful relationship with my mom and dad. They may have divorced each other, but didn't divorce my brother and I. They still stayed the parents they knew they had to be. I do admire how they handled the divorce because things could have been much worse. I just think of the song "The House That Built Me" because I moved away from that house after my parents divorced. I just sometimes wish my parents were together. But one great thing came from their divorce; my little half-brother B. He's 7 now (from my dad and step-mom) and he wouldn't be here if my parents stayed together.

I just have to remember I'll always have the memories of my family together. Change doesn't have to be bad or negative. Great things have come from this and will continue to and I know my parents are now happier.
I wonder about so many things:
- What would it be like if I had went away to school instead of staying home?
- How would things have turned out had I went to my home high school instead of a technical school in which you have to apply to?
- I wonder how life would be if M and I had never met. I'm so glad he's in my life but what if we never crossed paths? What would we both being doing now?
What do YOU wonder about?
