Um....

You know, its sort of strange, choices and circumstances pretty much align your life. Like, in my last school year, this guy who sat next to me asked me a little flirtatiously if I was going to an upcoming dance. I don't really like social function, I'm sort of the more secretive and lonesome type (don't get me wrong, I have a ton of friends), so I said no without a thought. I'm pretty confident he was trying to ask me out mostly because of his tone and the dejected expression on his face when I said no. But I wonder what could have happened, or where I'd be now, if I'd said I wanted to go to that dance.

My sister used to like, or at least thought she liked one of her friends, she's friends with a lot of guys. But over the summer she wasn't around much, and he was always talking to her best friend, who is a girl. So, he and my sister grew apart, and after that summer, in September she told the guy, Vlad, that she didn't like him anymore. Only five days after that Vlad and her friend, Kelsey started dating. Trina isn't jealous of Kelsey, she doesn't like like that anymore, but sometimes she wonders what would have happened if she and Vlad had seen each other more over that summer.

Things like that are completely out of our control. We can control our choices. Choice is the only way that we control what happens to us. Things happen to other because of our choices, and every day, someone's world is turned upside down by circumstances.

I'm in a really weird mood right now. I think you'd call it thoughtful, or.... ah, who really cares?
