Probability is a factor of our lives. There’s a probability that we’ll wake up late one morning. A probability that we’ll get stuck in traffic. A probability that we’ll trip on the steps. A probability that we’ll burn our tongue with soup. A probability that we’ll get dumped. A probability that we’ll get fired. A probability for everything!
And although we accept that it’s something imbedded in our daily grind, we can’t help but to think “What If...”

What if I hadn’t hit the snooze button 3 times? What if I had taken the side streets instead of the highway? What if I had climbed the steps slowly? What if I had waited for the soup to cool off. What if I had been nicer to my mate? What if I had worked harder?

Sometimes the answer is simple but sometimes it’s not. I am not sure how others feel but there are times that I would give my kingdom to see the other side, the “what if” world.
The world where my parents hadn’t gotten divorced. The world where I hadn’t moved to the US. The world where I had dated girls in high school. The world where I would have worked harder in high school to get into a college right off the bat. The world where I hadn’t met some of my closest friends. The world where I came to Disney in 2001 not 2002. The world where I went back to Texas instead of staying in Florida. The world where I had stayed at Disney instead of coming to UCF. The world where I hadn’t made a series of poor decisions that led to major troubles in my relationship. And the list goes on and on and on and on.

Some people accept that things are the way they are due to the choices we made in the past. Some people live in the past and can’t accept the present the way it is and suffer immensely. And then there are others, like myself, who dream about the “what ifs”. Practical? It is not! Beneficial? Definitely not! Then why the hell do we do this? Is it simply my curious nature? Or am I on the borderline of not accepting the present the way it is? I would like to think it’s my inquisitive nature traveling away on a quest for “knowledge” of something that did not happen. The probability that things could have been different than they were, whether good or bad, happy or sad.
