I think my mind wanders most in the mornings during my drive to work. Mayne it’s a dread of another day at my desk, even though I don’t really carry such dread into the office. Maybe it’s just my brain sparking fully to life. Maybe it’s just what happens.
Whatever it is, it always feels like my brain is saying I want to be somewhere else even though I don’t feel that way.
I think about decisions from the past.
Should I have joined the high school wrestling team? I was approached several times by the coach after having tried the sport in junior high. Would I have enjoyed it? Would I have been good? Would I have been a better football player for it? What else would I have experienced?
What if I had learned an instrument when I was younger?
What if I had found a writing program at a younger age?
Picked a different college?
Pursued more internship opportunities?
Would I have lived somewhere else? In a big city? Would I have started dating Jodi?
The “what if” game. I suppose it’s fruitless to look back. I suppose you could play the same game looking forward.
What if this happens? What if that happens?
It’s just the brain acting out scenarios.
Of course, it’s also where I get my ideas. I take myself and tweak things, bend myself, and create someone new. Put them in a new place
