Can you put your finger on a moment in time, that IF, handled differently, could have changed the course of your life.
When I was in std 4, yes that long ago, I was chosen to be a prefect, for all said I was to be Deputy head boy. This never happened as we moved out of town for 6 months. I did return to the same school half way through that year.
I however came back from that six month “growth” period a different person. I came back VERY VERY independant. I did and still do WHAT EVER I WHANT, and 9/10 get things right.
If I had never experienced that 6 months away “living the life” I wonder what would have happened? Would I have been as cocksure of myself? Would I have been the independant spirit some call me? Would I have been arrested for trying to steal a group N racing car? Would I have left school without telling my mother? Would I still be best mates with my blood brother from another mother?
Would I be writing this self indulgent post?

Prolly not, Kev, you would’ve turned out to be as institutionalised as me
You were arrested for trying to steal a racing car? Respect! lol
The worst part of it, it was a crappy "superboss" I was 15 at the time.
my man, you are the collective sum of every experiance in your life, good and bad! Personally I try not to spend too much time questioning what would have happened if different decisions had been made along the way – can drive you crazy! Life is what it is. As for being best friends with your brother from another mother, nothing gets in the way of true friendship, bro!!
Thanks dude!
Oh indeed, I've been doing a lot of the 'what if' thing lately! lol
