Such a thought-provoking post. I read an article once that talked about the grief we may hold as we get older, for un-lived lives we once saw for ourselves as possible. I had never really though of it that way, but it's true- the older we get, the more choices we make, and therefore the more roads we don't take. But I love what you wrote about sticking to the one we've picked and choosing to make it a great one. If we get too caught up in all the un-lived lives, we'll miss out on the amazing one we're living :)
AND just because the one we've chosen looks a certain way right now, doesn't mean we can't still make it look different! Age really is a feeling, and that's so empowering.
Yes exactly! That was my thought after seeing this play – that there are so many possibilities for how life can be and that we can claim how a choice can be even after we've chosen it. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! :)
