Life's a chance, take it.
I acknowledge
the merit of what u said, Chai.
Taking the risk, the results can be good or bad.

Yeah, me too, but I can blame only myself, no one else.
I have lived a very independent life n blame only
ME
for my poor choices of things that I never did, never said.
No one talked me out of anything.

Your point is very well taken.
Looking back on my life, I regret too many things that I did
NOT do,
too many things that I did
NOT say to people.
I wish that I cud go back in time and make corrections.
Still, its heart-breaking to think of Confused 15 year old
obsessing himself with her, as I was foolish enuf to do qua Joyce over 5O years ago.
It took me a long time to recover emotional peace from that.
