Who we are today is nothing more than the sum of events that has so far made up our lives. Were it not for every trial and joy that we have experienced we may not be in the same place or with the same people who we are today. I am happy with who I have become, where my life has taken me, and the people who I have surrounded myself with; I cannot imagine it any other way. Though I may be equally as happy in other circumstances, I have no room for regret in the ones I have. Often called the butterfly effect, and related to much larger circumstances, I think that this equally applies to the small events that personally make up our lives. Life has not been perfect, and my childhood was by far not a fairy tale, but it has made me a stronger person, equipped to deal with anything thrown my way. When I consider everyone who goes through their lives wishing for a different life, all the while wasting the one they have, I feel quite blessed with my own contentment.
Loved your post. We make our own happiness. What ever our dicisions are today always remember that down the road there might be backlash from them. I to am happy with what I have been given, and don't want anything to change. But the crazy thing about life is you never truly know what might be around the corner. All we can do is keep our chin up.
