a letter to the past

Dearest...

 (yes, I'm still calling you dearest)

 I had an epiphany.

 there is so much going on right now. I am forging ahead, making advancements, gaining ground in ways I'd only dreamed of in life.

 In a moment of sentimental nostalgia I reminisced that I would no doubt trade all of this for one thing-- you. I would make that trade in a second.

  And then it hit me...

 the truth behind that very statement -- that I would trade everything for you-- may be the exact reason why i never had you to begin with. It may be that I have too much to do in life. Call it God, or fate, or destiny-- whatever you want to call it, the universe may have alotted me certain tasks that I most certainly would not fulfill nor even attempt if I had you.

 the thought inspires a certain amount of awe. truth be told, it also inspires a certain amount of fear... I tremble to think of the magnitude of what I am attempting to undertake. I dare not think of it all at once-- I must break it down into more manageable, day=by=day pieces, just to keep myself from losing my nerve entirely. 

 So onward. Ahead I forge. I wish, and shall probably always wish, that you were by my side.

 I'm glad you are happy. I do hope in your absence I will find some sort of companionship on the road ahead. And I hope at some level you are aware of this grand undertaking I've begun and are silently cheering for me. I wish you only happiness.

Wish me luck.
