What if?
June 27, 2006What ifs. We have so many of these that it’s not even funny. For starters, we ask: What if I had a different life? What if I was born into a different family? What if I weren’t Filipino (or whatever nationality)? What if I were of the opposite sex? Subsequently, we ask: Would our lives been any different?
I’m a big dreamer. And if you’re a dreamer, you’re bound to have a list of a million what ifs. What if I lived here? What if I went there? What if I chose this instead of that? What if everything made sense? What if everyone got along? What if I woke up someday and find that all my what ifs have been answered? What if I died wondering what if?
We all have our what ifs. They may be silly, irrelevant, big, or serious. But they’re there. They exist. And they bother you. They bother you because they are important. They bother you because it’s important for you to have some answers.
What if. Two small words. Two extremely powerful words.
What about you? Got any what ifs to share?
