What would you do if you suddenly had no responsibilities?
No school, no debt, no family, no relationship. No pain of loss, just that they suddenly...weren't there.
A few thousand in the bank, not enough to travel much, and a month-to-month furnished rental.
Would you stay right where you are and start entangling your life with others immediately? Would you move to a new place and do something completely different?
Would you go work in a SCUBA rental place in the Caribbean? Become a ski bum in Utah? Go pick up some hottie in a bar and have a wild night?

I would move closer to one of my sisters and take a job working in the hospital. Then I would date, but never get married. I like having my kids, though, so I'm not sure how that would work since I strongly prefer the idea of raising kids in a traditional household.
Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

Not much would change for me. I would just find a job so I can have a quality of life I want. Go back to school so I can continue learning. Continue seeking relationships, playing my guitar and having fun along the way.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

I'd go to Southeast Asia and not come back until I was broke.

It's funny, I became independent so that I could have the opportunity to become more co-dependent...
There was a time I believed it was better not to have loved and lost. That ignorance was bliss, and the pain wasn't worth the joy.
I still believe this.
But I cannot live by it any longer.
No, because I've crossed that line already. Once you cross, there's no going back. For so long as I am happy with her, I will not regret the risk.
But, could I ever regret it?
Could I ever regret her?
Maybe if I loved her enough, I could never find regret.
Maybe if I loved her too much I could never fight free of it.
If it all just went away, I'd travel far and never fall again.
