Early Life Lesson (if this, then that)

Early life lessons taught me not to make my dreams conditionally. If x happens (and x must happen), then and only then can I do y. Life rarely happens as planned.

Like:

if doctor says high cholesterol, then I’ll change my diet.

if I love you is said, then I can say it back.

if I get a raise, then I’ll start saving.

if they open the door, then I can walk through.

if the timing is perfect, then I can follow my dreams.

Imagine:

I changed my diet so I never had the convo with the doctor.

I said I love you and still mean it.

I saved what I could, now I can save more with the raise I’ll get.

I opened the door and they were waiting for me.

I followed my dreams and it was imperfectly memorable.
