I've been having a similar internal struggle lately.<br />I'm sorry that you let your mom in a way dictate your life path, but you were young and what more do we know in those early years than to follow the person who is supposed to never lead us astray.<br />It is never too late though. I think any dream you had then can still be a reality.Amber_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065654066135186743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549885646308928878.post-85124616761864936452011-07-13T12:13:56.859-04:002011-07-13T12:13:56.859-04:00Once again, thanks to Kelli (No.7), I find one mor...Once again, thanks to Kelli (No.7), I find one more kindred spirit here in bloggyland. When I read your guest post over at Kelli's place this morning, there was just something that clicked; I decided to head right over to your blog when I got into my office. So very glad I did!<br /><br />Reading this post was like looking into everything that dances, even stumbles, around in my head. Lots of self-doubt and that black hole which echoes "shoulda, woulda, coulda!"<br /><br />But, we're here, right? I've personally made it this far, also in spite of a mother who ran away from her responsibilities, ignoring the scars she left behind. <br /><br />Hopefully, there is still much to look forward to as our lives progress but, yes, that empty feeling is a stark reminder of all that might have been.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983686239033756332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549885646308928878.post-33032066724136812822011-07-13T11:51:54.044-04:002011-07-13T11:51:54.044-04:00THis makes me think of that Garth Brooks song abou...THis makes me think of that Garth Brooks song about unanswered prayers. We all have those moments when we wonder what could have been... but if that would alter what I have now, then No, I'll pass.<br /><br />It's NOT too late! You could go and do whatever you want - and probably be better at it than your eighteen year old self would have been anyways!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486088267364693085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549885646308928878.post-55253348332087820432011-07-11T22:09:56.467-04:002011-07-11T22:09:56.467-04:00Regret is part of life, I guess.

A piece of paper doesn't make those things mean any more or less. Take it from me...I have that piece of paper, and it's not all it's cracked up to be.Katie @ Chicken Noodle Gravyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852793993330125727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549885646308928878.post-10371741878168845472011-07-11T13:37:51.037-04:002011-07-11T13:37:51.037-04:00Do you believe in fate, Diana?

Maybe we are all where we are destined to be........and maybe you are still on the verge of something!!!! <br /><br />Also, Florida State isn't all it's cracked up to be ;-)AllyCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336583028007510956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549885646308928878.post-69847722755739285332011-07-11T03:10:06.376-04:002011-07-11T03:10:06.376-04:00...Everybody lets themselves down once or twice in......Everybody lets themselves down once or twice in life, in a HUGE way. It's what you do once you stop counting the coulda/shoulda beens and jump on the "where I wanna be" bandwagon that will turn your heart ache into a head shake!<br /><br />I myself found myself pregnant for my daughter a month before graduation. So I got a job as a bank teller and became a single mother...so much for those honor scores huh? <br /><br />Now, at 34 I'm back in school...and I made the Dean's List. IF there's ONE thing sucking out big time taught me, it's to focus on what I can do NOW and where I see myself in the future!<br /><br />Hugs to you Betty Shmetty!Rebecca Flyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02271002290964551514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549885646308928878.post-75008647887398528472011-07-10T03:21:30.950-04:002011-07-10T03:21:30.950-04:00Sweet Diana,
