Y'know, I was thinking, as I do, and I was thinking about how what we say, or do affects things. Not uncommon, but it was in a weird way. There's a theory that everything you do, or didn't do, spins off a new universe, so in another universe you might of said yes when that one person asked you to prom, or said no when somebody asked to borrow money. Now imagine all the choices you've made in your life, and then imagine the close to 7 billion people we have living on Earth right now, plus all the people who have come and gone. That's a lot of universes, is it not? But, anyway, moving on.
Hindsight isn't always 20/20, despite the cliche. I look back sometimes, for brief moments, and wonder "I wonder what would of happened if.." of course, everyone does that. But when I was thinking about it, I had strange thought. Every choice you make is a web, branching out in an ever lengthening span of interconnected possibilities. Who knows what would of happened if I had decided to stay home and be there that one day? Would I be such a completely different person that I would not be friends with the people I am friends with now? It just seems strange thing to realize now, how quite different we all could be, except for one strange, and almost meaningless choice that we are all constantly making, and have made.
Imagine, that one choice that you never even gave real thought to could have changed your entire life. Or maybe it changed someone elses. Maybe you said something to someone, without even thinking through what you were saying, and maybe you made their life unimaginably better, or you came within inches of demolishing it, except for some fact that some other person said something to them the day before, something that they didn't even think through, and now saves someones life.
The choices we make are constantly interacting, creating an ever lengthening web that ensnares everyone that we come in to contact with, possibly wrapping them in it's comforting warm embrace, allowing them to become what they have always known they could be, or slowly strangling them, draining them dry of potential. And the difference between those two may be that one choice you made on a boring Saturday afternoon, when you had nothing else better to do.
If you have no clue what I'm talking about, it's fine. I don't really either. It's just something that struck me as something to write out. Oh by the way, don't look to deep in to it to try and find out what's going on with my life, or who I am, or whatever. It's just a thought, my precious loves. =)
