***********
And what am I thinking now. Now that all of that has past. I wouldn't change one decision. One incident. Not one word would I take back. All of it, every moment is precious, and it is mine. I own it. The good, the bad, and the damn right ugly. I own it all. Every mistake. Each heartache I delivered or received. Every breath, and every dance I didn't dance. Every opportunity missed. Every lesson learned. Its all mine. I am proud of it. I don't want to go back. I want to go on ahead and see what else I can accomplish, what else I can fuck up royally. And own every bit and beat of that too.
