I wish that I could actually predict the future. But then truthfully, who would want to be able to know everything that could happen. You would know all the good and the bad. If you could not change the future, you have to deal with the consequences of knowing.
I say this because I was asked this question the other day by someone. She said, if you could know the future, but not be able to change it, would you want to?
My response…yes. It would then give me more time to spend with my loved ones. I would be able to know when they would “perish,” so then I would be better equipped to say my goodbye’s. It would cut down on the grieving process because I would be prepared for it. I say that because had I known that my best friend was going to die, I would have made that trip to see him like we had planned. Instead of me not calling him, and canceling at the last minute to not go. I would have taken more photos with him, we would have enjoyed more time together. I would have made sure he came to see me graduate. There are so many more things I would have done differently.
I would probably not be such a recluse and I would go out more often with people and make my way on trips that I know I should go on, but b/c I’m such an introvert, I’m always canceling. but i would make sure that I find time to be with my friends. Life is too short you know.
