Worth

"to trusting that the end is worth it, and never letting go of its promise..."

--Kevin to newlyweds Rebecca and Justin, ABC's Brothers and Sisters

How do you know if something is worth sacrificing for?  How do you decide whether to go for it or walk away?  How do you distinguish right from wrong when it doesn't appear so apparent?

I guess you'll never really find the answers elsewhere other than within yourself.  You'll just know it when it's right.  You'll feel it.  Your instincts will tell you.

I am very happy with my life now--with where I am and what I've become.  But despite that, I still sometimes wonder, "what if...".  What if I had chosen this and not that?  What if I had gone this way and not that way?  What would have happened if I had never left home?  What if I married a different guy?

I guess I'll never really know the answers to these.  And I'm sure that some choices I didn't make would have yielded better results.  But if I were given another chance to do things all over again, there is nothing--absolutely nothing I'd want to change.
