Strength in a past

Today I was sorting through some of my boxes.  I had to figure out what was mine and what I really wanted to keep.   It was nice to unpack my books and figure out where I wanted to start reading again. I looked at all my binders remembering how organized I used to be or was going to be...again. 

Back in the early 2000s I was in college for vocal music performance.  I wanted to show my passion to the world through music.  Yes, to those of you who don't know much about me I once did a lot of singing and song writing mostly on the piano that is until a professor told me in a small amount of words that ...I sucked.  I quit then.  I did not want anything to do with music after that.  I tried business, but somehow that did not fit.  I got my cosmetology license, was a licensed billing agent, and now I am a claims examiner.

You ever wonder when things go wrong what would have happened if you had taken the other road?  Some days I wonder what would have happened if I had chosen music over a life. I wonder what would have happened had I been more extroverted in college and who would have been a part of my life.  I feel I have a strong life.  There is a lot of strength.  There was a divorce, being an adult at 7, knowing something was wrong when certain family members looked at me with their religious hypocritical views, and then how my marriage fell to a divorce.  I never wanted to get divorced. 

Strength, it's my word for life and how I live it.  It's how I want to be and who I want to be.  Strength, is a word that is going to be permanently a part of my life.
