There are choices we make in life that are simple. We chose what shirt to wear, whether to wear heels or flats, or the item on the menu to order (okay, sometimes that's hard). But all-in-all we are surrounded by decisions and choices every moment of our lives that are, for the most part, easy. Most of the time these are simple and straightforward, but sometimes we are faced with a hold-everything, oh my gosh, this-cannot-be-happening decision where the actual attempt of figuring it out could damage everything..... and everyone.Why all the talk about life decisions, you ask? Well, with Ellen Dempsey, it is the confrontation with the past which forces her to question everything; to be faced with an unimagineable choice. And the one decision she never thought she'd have to make, just swiftly and easily walks past her one afternoon in New York.
It isn't something we frequently believe can happen: being able to make a choice that so long ago was out of our hands. That, if given the chance, wouldn't have happened in the first place. No, life certainly doesn't act like that.
.... Atleast, not always.
But once time has past, our wounds have been healed, and just maybe we have moved on, should there even be a choice to make? Sometimes the presence of the past can make us question our lives to date. And in the case of Ellen, the smallest moment of unhappiness or discontentment become subject to complete analysis and wonder, did I make the right decision?
Well, as the title gives away, sometimes--oh sometimes--it is better to simply love the one you're with.
Happy reading,
Lauren
