Looking back
If I had a dollar for every time I have been told to not look back in the past I would be a very rich man right now. Instead, I am poor and look back way too often. Recently, I had a reunion of sorts. With my ex, a son I have never met and the son that I raised and his sister. No doubt it was long over due. Over due because of me more then anyone. Another one of my many fuck-ups in life I will have to live with.
Not sure I am strong enough to really get into it all at this point, sufficient to say my track record in life is not something to be proud of in anyway. Pretty much I represent the way things should not be done. Most of my adulthood I took the path of trying not to deal with my feelings. This hasn't just been flat out wrong it has done nothing but hurt others along the way. Not sure I wouldn't have hurt them if I did it any other way either. All too often I just seem to stumble into things in life. No real plan for anything, just bounce around till I hit something and not having any skills to know much I screw it up. No wonder I don't have any real friends or my relationship with pretty much everyone is shaky at best.
It could be said I am my worst enemy and that would be pretty damn honest statement of fact. All my failures are my own and I have a path of unfinished potholes behind me. My wish now is that I can start doing things the right way and stop letting myself down. Minimize the trail of hurt I have already carved out on this path.
