So I was looking at old pictures the other day and my brain started to bumble around some very interesting thoughts. What would my life be like if I hadn't moved or made different friends? Would I still be the same Brittany if I had stayed in New York? What about if I had stayed in Connecticut? Or if I was still friends with all the people that I was friends with when I first moved to Massachusetts?
If I stayed in New York would I still be "married", would I still know him? What kind of girl would I be if I had stayed in there? If I had stayed in Newington would I still know the girl down the street? Does she still play basketball with her brother in the driveway in flip flops? Does her brother still kung fu fight, read the paper, or try to walk on water when he gets in the pool? I wonder if the girl in Canton still looks like me. Are there still no kids on my old street?
Who would I be if I had stayed? How different would I be here if I was still friends with all the people that I met when I first moved to Southwick? As I look at these old pictures I think about how the people in them have changed. Some of them have gone from people that I barely knew to the best friends that I could ever ask for. Others have gone from best friends to people I barely even know.
One thing that I do know is no matter what kind of lives the other Brittany's may have I love the one that I have. I couldn't ask for anything better. I have made friends with people that I know will be with me for the rest of my life.
There is no other girl as hyper and random as Stephie. There is no other girl I would consider the sister I never had like Shannon. There is no other hand picked family like Shelby and Seth. There is no other duo like Nick and Alex. There is no other guy like Ben, there is no way that there can be another guy like him. He is a one of a kind guy, no matter who the other Brittany's found to be their guy they would be nothing like him.
So I end this bumble by saying sorry other Brittany's you may like the lives you have but I wouldn't change mine for anything. I have amazing friends, the perfect hand picked family and a guy that loves me.
Please tell me what you think

a good piece, i enjoyed reading it, ah well yes, we can all speculate what life might have been like if we had turned another corner, maybe it would have been better than now, then again maybe not, what is good though is you are happy where you are and smiling and dancing with friends.
