I remember the movie "Murphy's Romance" where Sally Field's character was crying that she's in her forties and is living like a nut. These I feel the same way and it doesn't help that problems keep mounting and I haven't the means to deal with them. They say that life is like a road that you travel with play you left behind is the past; the where you are travel is the present and the next destination is the future. With the way I'm driving, I really need to take stock of where I've been and where I'm going. That metaphor reminds of the Isley Brothers' song "Highways Of My Life".
I hate to admit it but life didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. Despite the factors that played into the equation, I take the blame for what my life has become. I guess the reason why people say I think too much is because the past always haunts me because of all the things that were never to be. Even though I want to move on, the past has a way of repeating itself with painful results. That's why lately I try to be very careful where I steer as I travel down life's unpredictable road hoping I won't go back to where I've been.
I say this because I want to change my life for the better. Right now I'm stock of things that I have and do to ensure I don't go down the wrong road again though I have to admit it's easier said than done. I just wanna make sure that the rides gets a bit smoother this time around. Well we'll never know what awaits us on the other side. We'll just cruise down the highway until then.

First of all, the Isley Brothers are one of the all-time greats in any genre of music. All I can say (as a guy still in his late 20s) is to just keep on keeping on. Just remain strong and don't let anything bring you down.
