Did I Do Right?

This is the question that concerns me most frequently, lately. Did I do right? Was that right? As I get older, I seem to take more and more time contemplating any action to see if I can understand all the repercussions, all the potential fallout, and judge whether the end result will be...good.

I'm getting very good at predicting the end results. I'm also generally trying to strike some kind of balance between what I deem "right action" and how I anticipate other people will react emotionally.

It's not fun.

In other news: I am back in DC, bitches. Y'all ready for this? New place, new car, new job. New life? Or old one?

Time will tell, and when it does, I will tell it again here.

This is common I think, especially if you were more of a act first/think later type when you were younger. Mortality (and its associated thoughts) is much more "dear" as you get older (which can start in your mid-20s) - why do you think the frontline grunts are all 18-22 year olds instead of 30-somethings?

btw, are you no longer posting on here and only on BI?
