I just wrote a novel about something but decided to just delete it and ask this question: what do you do when you have the opportunity to take back what you sometimes consider a mistake or walk away from it forever, but all you can do is keep yourself in limbo? No matter what, I can't make a definitive decision for the life of me. Truth be told, I think I know the answer, but I'm too scared to face it.

Man... seeing you say "what if" kinda blew my mind. There's so many "what ifs" on both sides that seeing it from someone else kinda makes me think that the what if game should stop and maybe there is no what ifs and what it is right now is how it actually how it is and nothing more. Good words of wisdom right there man. Thanks!

The mind is as dangerous as it is revolutionary. It can be both creative and destructive; as a creative writer, I need my mind to explore endless possibilities and different perspectives. But when I'm bored or my motivation is low, I cannot shut my brain off and those same demons eat me alive. It's times like those when we need to accept that things occurring are the only existence. If you think about it, playing the what if game kinda gives us this egotistical, omnipotent personality as if we're know exactly what will take place had we opted to choose a different path. One can argue that it's more deductive reasoning than it is pretending to be all knowing, but we love exploring the idea that our lives would be better had we done things differently. It's impossible to know if the grass is greener on the other side.
