...which direction your life is going? does being single cause any changes? If there's anything I've ever learned about life, it's that no one's in control of anything. You might THINK you do, but there are too many variables present that can put a monkey wrench in your plans. I totally disagree, for myself anyway. Being in control doesnt mean (to me) plotting a course and never veering off. Sh*t always happens. Being in control is managing the changes and still getting there. Tell that to the thousands of people who lost their life savings and/or houses in our current financial debacle. Through no fault of their own (in most cases, that is) their lives and their nest eggs were rendered crap thanks to the greed of a few running the banking system. They tried to manage themselves as best they could and they STILL got a poop sandwich for their efforts. If that's an example of "being in control" than I don't know what is.

Yes, and yes...makes it far easier to stay on goals at hand, without the constant bother of whether I am doing something right or wrong. how do they bother you? you mean by always nagging?

Ever hear the one; Wanna' make God laugh? Just tell him your plans. Not even the next breath is guaranteed. I plan what I can and have goals. However, I know, I have to be open to change. That's what's made me a survivor all these years.

I can exert more control of matters than I usually do, but that is my choice. Having chosen this path, this adventure, and come just this far, I am cautious about committime to change too much too drastically or quickly.

I have a child to raise. I am in control of his life as well as mine at this point. I make the most of what I have and live day to day. I do not think about what the future holds, just what we need at this moment in time.

My life goes the way it wants I just follow it. I always wanted to try and let my life lead and I follow, I just can't!

It's pretty much going forward. and.....changes to what? are you positive it is going forward? Mostly. But as with most things in life....there are ups and downs. My outlook on my own life does tend to flux a tad...but in general....I'm happy. the road to happiness is a tricky mofo!

...which direction your life is going? does being single cause any changes? I'm can't control what happens but I choose how to react to the events as they happen. I might not like what happens but I always find a positive side and find the best solution.
