Me, Myself And Change
Heh.
The day's a beautiful one.
*sidenote*
Ever have those days when you just couldn't help but smile? No matter how hard you or they tried, it stays. Of course, the type of smile can change (the happy smile, the sad smile, the bemused smile, the confused smile, the defiant smile, the "oh really?" smile, the...you get the idea), but no matter what, it stays.
*end sidenote*
I wake up today having to face a changed world, a changed life. I don't like change...I don't like the uncertainty, and I do not like the departure. It's irritating, and so unnecessary in my frame of reference. But I have to face it, and so I do. And yet this time it feels so different. I don't feel anxious, worried, nervous. I feel upbeat, happy, alive. I feel defiant - change, my dear, you can not get me down today. Bring it on, I say! No wait, that's juvenile. Give me your best shot! Haha, yes!!
Change presents you with the fork in the road, it's there, and you have to deal with it. Today I choose to rejoice in my defiance of the norm. Norms are boring, and today I choose to make my day an interesting one.
I was 12 when I first read this, and it strikes a chord within me even today:
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence

Ah, so I see you've been educated ;) In the wise words of a good friend of mine, "no regrets". It is not useful to ponder the if's and but's of the other road, for we have not chosen to take it.
