The way a mind works

I was in college the other day working on a blog design. A girl in my class sitting beside me leaned over and asked me "What do you do when you find the one?". I immediately answered "Marry him", and then due to her laughter realised she was actually referring to selecting colour schemes! It was confirmation to me that indeed I do belong in a fairytale story brought to life by Disney. Funny the way my little head is wired!
In the real world however, outside my head, there's a lot to be said for going with your instincts and doing things because you feel they're the right things to do or the time is right. I think the gut feeling is a pretty reliable one to be aware of. I'm guilty of ignoring it myself on occasion and slightly regretting it afterwards. It's the fear of being wrong though or of taking a risk that sometimes means chances are missed or opportunities lost. I try to operate a 'no regrets policy' in my life-it helps to keep moving forward rather than being sad about what could have been. Of course there are always things that take us by surprise and perhaps steal time from us and in these situations, the 'if only' and 'I should have' and 'I wish I had' thoughts creep in and solidify as regrets. Keeping an awareness of what's going on though and how your instincts are responding, can only be a positive and useful thing though in avoiding the 'if onlys'.
Subsequently, in the correct context, I'd still give the same advice..if you've found the one, keep them!*
