upset but she knew the minute that she began to consider doing it that there

was no way everyone in her life would be pleased with what she ultimately
decided to do. It was simply a question of who she would rather displease
most. While this had always been her parents, and especially her mom, in the
past that she tried to keep from upsetting, she decided that this time the
person she was going to please the most with her decision was herself.

Dave found joy in the daily routine of life. He awoke at the same time, ate the
same breakfast and drove the same commute. He worked at a job that never
seemed to change and he got home at 6 pm sharp every night. It was who he

It had been her dream for years but Dana had failed to take any action toward
making it come true. There had always been a good excuse to delay or
prioritize another project. As she woke, she realized she was once again at a
crossroads. Would it be another excuse or would she finally find the courage to

Brenda never wanted to be famous. While most of her friends dreamed about
being famous, she could see the negative aspects that those who wanted to be
famous seemed to ignore. The fact that you could never do anything in public
without being mobbed and the complete lack of privacy was something that
she never wanted to experience. She also had no desire to have strangers
speculating about every aspect of her life and what each thing she did was
supposed to mean. Brenda was perfectly happy with her anonymous life where
she could do exactly as she wanted without anyone else giving a damn. Thus,
her overnight Internet celebrity was not something she was thrilled about as
her friends told her how lucky she was.
There was a leak in the boat. Nobody had yet noticed it, and nobody would for
the next couple of hours. This was a problem since the boat was heading out to
sea and while the leak was quite small at the moment, it would be much larger
when it was ultimately discovered. John had planned it exactly this way.

Rhonda prided herself on always taking the path less traveled. She'd decided to
do this at an early age and had continued to do so throughout her entire life. It
was a point of pride and she would explain to anyone who would listen that
doing so was something that she'd made great efforts to always do. She'd never
questioned this decision until her five-year-old niece asked her, "So, is this why
your life has been so difficult?" and Rhonda didn't have an answer for her.
