I was obsessed with those books as a teenager. Probably lower level reading then I could and should have been doing in 9th grade but I could not get enough of them. I plowed through the entire thing in one sitting. Doing every possibility available. Sometimes quickly dislodged, sometimes all the way to victory.
Always a new choice. Always a new ending. It fascinated me.
That’s how I see life. Pretty much. Still to this day.
I just wish I deeply accepted that while we are all living our lives simultaneously
In this day and age together
That somehow we have intercepted in this space and time of existence
Wherever that may be in the grand scheme of eternity
I want to truly appreciate that this is my book
And while it has many other people and dimensions in it
Many plots and subplots
It is the choices I take when I can take them and listening to my heart
That will lead me to my own personal victory
No matter where the book ends.

My elder son was into “Choose Your Own Adventure” books. There you are, careening through time and space in the only dimensions you know of, on this Spaceship we call Planet Earth. Glad to be aboard with you, Matey!
