“I live completely without regret. Sure there are plenty of things that someone could second guess, but I see the path of life like driving down the road without a map. The thing is, some dark alleys open up in majestic places, and some bright and shiny highways to the top end in cliffs to the bottom. You never know until you get there. What I know for sure is that if many years ago I actually had a map to the path of life, the destination that I would have chosen is right here, with this family, in this place, and with these smiles. That makes anything that could have been regretful, the best decision in the world.”

“As a leader, I am there to make the best decisions possible with the evidence at hand and to be able to justify that decision. If it goes wrong, we add to the evidence for making the next decision, but there is no reason for regretting failure, as failure is just the production of evidence.”

Hi Michael, lovely to meet you.I wish you all the best with your Writing.
I don't know if you realize that I have read more than 1500 books in 2 years, but they are only Gay books.
My reviews and Updates will be ONLY stories about men falling in love with another men.
Just a fair bit of warning ;)
Greetings from Australia.
Thank you for the friend request - Nice to see someone from my hometown. Keep up the great work!
