Where would your life be now ?.

[bobthebuilder2 (deleted)]

Ok, Out of curiosity, All of you guys and girls, If all your debilitating problems were a thing of the past or were never a problem in the first place, Where do you think or would like your life to be now ?.

I know this may sound a silly question, And maybe it is, But i am still curious.

Right, I`ll start.

If i was not as shy as i am, Or held back by a very slowly decreasing social phobia, I`m guessing i would have several high school qualifications under my belt, Own my own business, building, Selling and repairing computers (yeah, Boring i know), Drive a luxury family saloon, Be married to a very beautiful woman (in my eyes), Have two lovely children and live in a very large country house, With a second luxury house in a sunny location. Have two holidays a year and be the happiest man alive.

But what do i have now ?, Sod all, But i can dream, Can`t i ?.

Whose next ?.

Adam Lambert ?. Would you care to elaborate ?

Lacking any of the social phobias or shyness or inhibitions that have held me back in any way, I probably would have had myself a sex-change, and become a great caterwauling, homosexual pop-star.

You have to admit, Glambert is pretty fabulous.

Likewise, saying I would have become Adam Lambert was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek (or at least inject some levity into this path of discussion you began to lead us, your website peers and forum readers, down).

It's probably because of my age that I don't have regrets enopugh to start saying how my life would be different if I lived in any way other than how I have. Reading what you wrote, that doesn't necessarily seem the case with you. Imagining how things may have or may not have turned out if circumstances were different, or if you had done x instead of y, isn't a concept I understand.

Life is what it is. You know, actually, I'm going to retract that statement about the naivety of youth prohibiting me from appreciating the concept. I've got friends who already lament what was or could have been.

Being an introvert or too shy or suffering from social anxiety to a degree that kept me from experiencing life, or moving forward toward a goal or something that seemed an ideal may have been awful at the time it was happening. But in retrospect? I don't regret that I "missed out" on anything, so I don't feel a real need to imagine the "if..."

Being introspective and *nalytical, thinking the thoughts that I do, becoming the person I HAVE become because of what I am and what I have experienced - I wouldn't trade that for anything.

I guess the point of my comment about being Adam Lambert (glorified, glittery, famous gay pop-rock-star) versus myself (see profile har har) is to summarize my outlook on the subject. I wouldn't be me if I'd done it different. And I like me... so if I'm going to have done it different, I want to be Adam Lambert.
