Rumination is an experimental work I did for my Interactive Narratives class. The story plays out like a choose your own adventure book, but no matter what you choose, it all leads to the same ending.

The story is not meant to say that we have no choices in life, but that there is no point in ruminating about a past that can't be changed. I use to waste away my days dreaming about what I could have done to save my parents' marriage, only to wake up to the realization that the past is gone, but I still have a future ahead of me.

At the Garden of Forking Paths I made a choice. No regrets. I look ahead.

My parents were divorced since i was 7 and a half. Right now, I'm 11 (almost 12)
This is just, so heartbreaking... I went with my mom to Vancouver from Coquitlam. Now, I have a stepdad and he's crazy in love with my mom. They're crazy for eachother.

I wish I could just change what I did wrong, I would still dream. Even with a broken heart. I still dream with those who continued on with a broken family.

This flash is very heartwarming and understanding it's true that some kids who have divorced families feel this way....because this is something I fear of happening to my family

I kinda have this still, I have to choose either to see my dad or my mom more. I love them both but I go to mom more and dad never does anything about it. I can understand this. Very good, I like it. :iconwipetearsplz:

I never had a father, he chose to not acknowledge me so I can't relate to this.. since you can't miss what you never had. But I do feel sympathetic.. it was a nice read haha (｀・ω・´)”
