Sometimes people back themselves into corners where they think they have to make kind of an engraved-in-stone decision.

Sometimes people have a wild past because they have an essentially wild nature, and that's how they plan to go through life. Sometimes such people settle into happy monogamy, and can be content there because they never have to wonder, "What did I miss?"

When you have a life milestone happen, it's good to step back and reassess the things you thought you knew about yourself.

The human heart is a mysterious and sometimes dark place.
