That sounds amazing and if its what you really want to do then I say go for it. I've always wanted to take a road trip across country.

I understand those feelings and get caught up in that also. I imagine the life me and W could have if both of us put the effort into the M now, we could really be happy. It would be hard, but worth it. I actually focused on that too much for a while and it was causing me issues so my IC put a thought in my head. Its possible that future with W is based in a reality that may never could have happened. Our transformation into the people we are now never included our W so dwelling on their path diverging from ours keeps us from moving into the next phase of our life. A phase that could lead to something greater if we let it. That struggle you both went through, whos to say you both don't benefit from it in the future. It just may not be together.


Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
