Mistakes and Bad Choices McMinnville, Oregon April 30, 2014 11:51 P.M. As I sit here preparing myself to write about mistakes and bad choices, I realize the irony in that it would be a mistake to share some of my bad choices... Having gotten that out, I can now proceed with my tirade for the evening. We have all been there; saddled with a heavy decision to make. The quintessential Should I stay, or should I go? being the first to come to mind. The hardest decision I have ever faced! I frequently ponder the choice I made. Did I make a huge mistake in moving back to Oregon? I cant seem to make anything of myself here, for reasons beyond my comprehension. Jesus CHRIST, I miss my kids!! I havent seen my beloved children since July 28, 2012. Its been far too long. Im still having no luck thus far in finding income, to begin paying off this mountain of child support that is rapidly piling up! Its not an unwillingness or a lack of desire by any means. Its the absolute absence of means, that is keeping my child support unpaid. How do I live with myself, youre likely asking? Honestly and sincerely, I answer thusly: My existence is far from what I would call living. It is survival in suburbia, more like. Im quite literally a small step up from being homeless and on the streets. Im blessed though, for what little I do have. I have a far greater appreciation for the small blessings life provides me with, than I did before. Going from having a decent life to having nothing, will reveal a survivors spirit in those with the perseverance to not give up. Survival requires pragmatism and opportunism. By no means however, should you EVER compromise your principles! That however, is a tirade I shall reserve for another night.
