The right path

Today's 100 words:

I wonder if there will ever be a time in my life when I feel like I'm on the right path. Since the days leading up to the end of my first marriage, I've often felt lost, searching. But how can I ever know for sure if the decisions I'm making are the right ones? I heard someone on television last night say that she never thought her life would be the way it is. I nodded when she said that. I never thought that mine would either: married, divorced, remarried, so many mistakes along the way. Who can know?

He had a ponytail. That was the first thing I noticed about him. This was back in the mid-nineties, when ponytails seemed cool and sexy--or maybe that was just my idea. He reminded me of a rocker, and I'd always been attracted to that type: the bad boy, the one all the women want, the one with the romantic eyes and sensuous lips. The one who would end up breaking my heart. I didn't know I'd be willing to give up so much for him: I changed; I hurt people I love.

I'd do it again.
