Reset

Do you ever wish you could press the reset button on your life? Start over? I remember playing on my game console as a kid and when I ran out of power-ups or my avatar lost it's special abilities, basically when I started losing, I hit the reset button. I did that so many times that, after a while, it seemed to lodge itself deep into my psyche. I started wishing that, when times in my life were tough, I could reset the game. This started as a kid, following me through the awkward stages of adolescence and sticking with me through adulthood. Whenever times were tough I wanted a reset - I wanted to start over so that I didn't have to live through that difficult moment in my life. I also wanted resets on parts of my life that didn't turn out like I wanted. Those times that I believed I made a mistake, when I made the wrong decision. The regrets.
I can hit that reset button if I want - anyone can - but I have never really made the conscious, physical decision to use it. There are things in my life that have always kept me from pressing it. But I do think about it sometimes - particularly when life gets rough.
Now, I am older and it has been been many, many years since some of those choices were made and they say that your choices make you who you are today. I believe that, I do. But I am not quite sure that I like who I am. Who I have become.
The truth of the matter is : you can't go back. You can't go back and make different decisions. You can't change what you have done. You can hit the reset button on your life but do you really want to? Press it and it will be the last choice you will ever make.

Oh, and welcome to my blog.
