Looking-glass
Challenge
~*~
The glazed surface of the Looking glass
Shows me a world that could have been
An alternate reality which could have been mine
If I had taken a different route in my youth
If my choices were different, my steps in another direction
Alas!
Regrets overwhelm me, and yet I sometimes feel
I still can
If I want it enough
I am still alive

Choices are always unique. I gave up on what if’s long ago. If I had to trade anything for where I am now… I would not. Any choice I might have made could have changed the present I have been gifted with.
I think though at one point, maybe even several we all feel exactly like the words you have gracefully written.

I love your take on the prompt. I have those fleeting thoughts sometimes. But I made my choices so I move ahead in order to avoid regrets.

Thanks a lot Winnie. It is the right approach, once we have made a choice, we should not rethink on it again and again.
