Be Careful What You Wish For

 

          Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true. In hindsight that is so very true. When I was a kid I used to wish a lot, usually for some guy to fall in love with me. Now, looking back at those guys I was so in "love" with I am so glad it wasn't reciprocated. What was I thinking??? LOL I have no idea why, but this past week I have thought about 3 guys from my past, my first two boyfriends and my best friend. If I had ended up with any of them, my life would have been horrible. They were cute, but looking back, they were very controlling. I probably would have been a battered wife emotionally and physically. My best friend on the other hand, he was awesome and I still think very fondly of him, but he got a bit new age in his thinking. I would have had to be in charge and I would hate that. By the time I was in my early 20's I still hadn't learned to stop wishing. I met one guy and I wished and prayed to marry him, uh oh, that wish came true and it was a disaster. Marriage did not last long, but I did get my son out of it, so I would not change it. Anyway, people think they know what they want, so they wish and pray, but they really do not know the long term consequences. Probably why parents are always interfering in relationships. They have learned the hard way and are trying to spare you the heartbreak. I know I will do the same thing to my daughter. Hopefully she will listen.
