This is excellent. How many times we think about our past and wish we went in a different direction on something.
Well said and a strong message. Love the Neil Peart quote.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. Honored to make your RL. Thought you'd dig the quote. It's from one of my favorite Rush songs, "Subdivisions." Glad you connected with the write. Appreciate you.

Introspection and self-reflection are essential for growth.

Love this piece. Thinking about my life, the things I would have done differently (and that's a lot, lol) it also makes me realize it brought me here. I appreciate you, my friend.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Duende. I think so as well, my friend. Life is full of miles, and miles turn into wisdom. Glad you connected with the write. Appreciate you.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts for life without the distractions and mostly the same situations that sometimes hold us down can be a blessing in disguise for a righteous change of plans for sure it's not over when you lose it's over when you QUITE on living your best life regardless of the situations at hand for a righteous blessing to see you are more stronger than you think 🤔🪬 SHAMAN 🪬👍

Admitting error is difficult.  Sometimes, I look back a few years, and think, "What the hell was I thinking?"  That's just the way it goes, man.  I guess you can strive for maturity and growth.  Like you said, these perceptions of introspection offer more to be known about your identity and personality, and in that, is a sort of admission or observation at least of things to seek forgiveness and change in.  To heck with the doubters!  I can definitely relate to this.  With that said, you use interesting metaphors and analogies, and they're both original and creative, in an attempt to convey what morals and principles you have here.  The voice inside those doubts is hard to get rid of, heh.  There's a careful balance.  You can't pick apart yourself too much, but at the same time, you need to be willing to be humble.  Anyway, good read.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, brother. Life is worldly highway, more miles equal wisdom. It is a careful balance indeed, when it comes to introspection. I've always loved old wives tales and quotes. More times than not, they're on point. Who ever came up with those sayings, had a lot of miles on the odometer. I think it's important to humble one's self from time to time. Glad you connected with the write. I always enjoy your analysis. Appreciate you.

those introspective little talks that keep us up at night

That they do, indeed. Thanks for reading. Appreciate you.

Oh my goddess...that last line is Power! The energy it takes to maintain false-fronts, if nothing else, is exhausting. And a lie will never outlive you. Crazy how often we forget that. I'm a rotten liar...my face is never on the same page. And I'm perfectly good with that. Another mind nudge here...

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. False fronts are very tiring indeed. Glad you connected with the write, my friend. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
