Life's Changes

Life can change so fast, from just one little act, one decision. I never really realized how much I invest in what I expect and assume to be the course of life for myself and the people around me. The fact that something that happens in one day can change a lifetime is rather scary. Lingering five seconds longer at a stop sign can save or kill you. So much is invested in random occurances. As humans, we are very adaptable to changes, we have to be. If this new path plays out the way I assume it will, life will be so different in just less than a year. I don't think we realize how crazy our choices make life until one choice someone makes hits you straight in the face and you say... wow, her life is really going to change forever with either decicison she chooses. There really may be no choice at all. It's crazy... there's so much more than I expect there to be and there are so many things in life that I take for granted.
