What If?

What if you finally get a job, know that you'll get out of debt soon and likely be set up financially in short order, and see a successful life path open up in front of you - but your heart knows it's not the right thing for you?

What if you endure the bad times and enjoy the good ones, but you have no one to share them with? What if there is no one to share them with?

What if the Iraq War is truly lost and there is a Vietnam 2? Will the anti-war people care about what happens after that?

What if you love someone unreservedly and unyieldingly, but you come to realize they are simply not the one for you?

What if Bush wins in November? What if Kerry wins? What if there is a second nuclear war? What if there isn't?

You are SUCH a missez smartey-pantaloons! Sadly, the answer "drink some whiskey" is equally good.

1. you just keep the job till you can afford to move on.

2. you either choose to find someone to share those times with or you become a hermit and feed your mind full of thoughts that personal interaction isn't necessary. (okay, I know it's not that easy)

3. The war is over, now it's just a conflict.

4. you move on.

5. We're all going to die. Let's try not to predict how and when.

Hey, if it's to be done it's up to me - remember?

Good questions, but for some reason I'm reminded of that choose-your-own adventure series.
