I remember when I found myself inside a Navy recruiting office a little less than 10 years ago. They wanted to know why I didn't want to join the Navy even though apparently my test scores could get me anywhere. I don't remember what I told them, but I do remember what I was thinking about.
I didn't want to devote 4 years to the Navy because to me making that decision would mean sacrificing all the memories and experiences that could have occurred had I not joined.
So I made a choice in my life to not join the Navy and instead embarked on an entirely different course, all because of one decision.
I feel like life is all about the decisions we do or don't make. But sometimes I wish I could see the world from every branch I didn't take.
But that is the nature of life as we perceive it. It is our choices that define who we are.
