[5]Kenneth Udut [6]CJ Get accustomed to the sensation and
thrive in it if you can I don't *think* it really ends, nor
do I really remember it starting per se.
At 17, I took a long walk around my town. I had an idea of
one of my possible futures that was pretty strong. Long
hair, beard - on my way to Wizard look, losing a little
frontal hair, not much, looking damned handsome and sturdy
face. I anticipated one outcome being first marriage with a
woman who was already married once or twice before, with
some kids most likely although not necessarily, and she was
tired of the whole "romantic" stuff and just wanted equal
partnership.
While that hasn't happened yet, I'm not worried. Should I
choose that route, it's always there as a potential road. 17
years old Ken would be pleased with what he sees right now.
That was me feeling a mid-life crisis at the transition
between 17 + 18. I thought, "It's OVER!", and had given up
video games a year prior, thrown away my dreams of being a
video game designer because I listened to "other people".
Still, I refuse to regret my past and instead build with it.
One or two big regrets - and they're the ones that keep me
morally in line but the rest? Just alternative timelines,
led fictionally by others... [and sometimes in reality, when
I can find another human being doing what one of my
'alternative timeline" kens might-have-been-doing. I cheer
them on when I find them, because, in my way of looking at
things, I did it! That Ken was a success in that field, and
now THIS KEN, the one sitting at the keyboard, does not
*have* to do that thing.
He has his own mission to be on.
