Hahaa! Now, here's a question I can talk about!
Right, the short answer is.....yes, with an unhealthy scattering of no's.
It's terrible I know, but it's the complete honest truth. When I look back on all my life there are literally thousands of opportunities that I could have taken better advantage of. THOUSANDS. But, if I didn't take the specific route of decisions that I have taken, I may not be the brilliant, remarkable blogger that you're reading right now, would I?
I mean, I would have loved to have done lots differently, but I can't help but think I'd be a different me. I'd know different people, maybe have different aspirations and social circumstance. I wouldn't be the current version of me (still, if you subscribe to the mulitverse theory, there are billions of versions of billions of different universes shaped by different decisions made by everyone inside the universe. So I like to think that out there in the vast depths of reality, there are very different versions of me :) ).
So in one respect, yes, I do feel I have squeezed a lot of opportunity out of my life, but equally, no, I haven't. For example: have no job right now. No passport. No car. No real dispensable money. Have far too much free time I have no idea what to do with myself. I'm doing an acting degree; surely by default I should swamp myself in scripts, auditions and performances? Alas no. All this opportunity is yet to be seized....bugger
I said the other day to a friend 'Always keep moving. Forwards. Left. Down. Right. Up. Diagonally. 3rd dimensionally. Just don't move back'
I think there's something very philosophical in that.
Take care, y'all! :)
