When someone says, "live and learn" that typically means that there was an event in their life that they learned a valuable lesson from. Typically it was not an event that turned out great, but positive lessons came from it. This, should be enough to keep that person from putting themselves in the situation to experience that event again. Not me. Apparently, live and learn should has a disclaimer in my life that I will return, expecting a different result, only to be disappointed again.
I sit in a state of confusion. Is this really a situation I want to put myself into again? Do I trust that perhaps there is a reason boy walked back into life, or do I let bygones be bygones and never know if what was before could ever be again? One of my favorite quotes is "It's never too late to become what might have been." But what if too late it is not, but too scared and scarred is?
Patience is not a virtue of mine, and I don't want to live in a constant state of wonder. I wish I knew what lies on that path ahead, and if I should take the fork in the road the other direction....
