Well let's see I could have got pregnant in high school. Could have hung out with the kids that got drunk every weekend. Got married stupidly young and had loads of kids in my small town and ended up always searching for where I fit in. I would have had loads of mommy friends and talk about potty training and drinking as soon as it's 5pm. And make sure everyone knows I run 10 miles a day with my FB app. Or decided no kids but I'd become a reality TV star.
But horses kept me sane in HS. When I left I went to the track. I spent 12 years criss crossing the States. Made the best friends of my life and shared more adventures than many get. Never missing a sunrise, winters in Florida or Southern California. Seeing the sunrise over the Zion National Park, the most amazing thing ever. Getting stopped and stripped searched by Border Control in Canada. Being on TV, being in newspapers. All these things were shared with people near and dear to me to this day. Part. Well we did loads of that too. Teaches you how to be a responsible professional when you need to be at work at half 4am 7 days a week. Then moved to Ireland. A whole new life. New adventures, new people.
Ain't no life perfect. Things don't have to measure up to ideal to be freaking awesome. It's because of horses that I haven't tried to top myself because I needed to fit this round peg into a square hole. The world needs horse people too. Normal is so overrated.
