The Distance

Sometimes you are given a gift into seeing what your life could have been.

You are provided the perspective to see course of life that would have been if you had taken that job, stayed with that boyfriend/girlfriend, or never left your home town. Many times these glimpses of unchosen futures give you the assurance that you have taken the right path.

Then, there those moments where you realize that if you had not pursued some tangential aspiration or had circumstance led you to an opportunity before the door had closed, something wonderful could had happened. One may be dislillusioned by this, or see this as a source of hope: evidence that these opportunities exist and it still could happen.
