Giving up on replaying one's past is such a hard thing. You can relive your past and enjoy it, or you can relive your past and hate every minute of it. Not sure which replay keeps going on and on...but you just have to give it up at some point!
I love the old vinyl records. The 76 records were the best. I think of them as I replay the past. The best ones have no scratches. The sound is so rich, so full. The voices and instrumental fill the room as if the musicians were right there with you. That is how my memories are...as if I was there. There are times, of course that I would like to replay and get a do over. Like Peggy Sue Gets Married. But as in all old movies, the end comes around and you have to choose which life you want to lead. I also had a sweet friend ask me if my choices have been worth it. If this path was worth the choices that have been made. Tough choices of course but true choices.
The things I would like to have do overs: I would be a much better friend. Somehow sitting still would be a thing to learn how to do. Not sure it could ever be learned. Dance longer and harder and sing louder! And last but not least...never let the nay sayers get me down.
