At the end of every road, at every fork, crossroads, and decision — even the decision to not choose, to let things happen, to be a passive actor in your own life— at the end of each road are unintended, unforeseen consequences.
Thank you for sharing your story. I relate to more of it than I'd like, at least as far as decisions being life changing.
We all make so many choices in life, that, given the experience of time, we would probably change, but then we wouldn't be who we are today.
I made some bad choices, mostly based on extremely low confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. I dated a man I *did* later marry, but never really loved. I didn't know the meaning of the word love. He paid attention to me and that's what I wanted. I was afraid that if he left, nobody else would come want to date me...ahh high school. Ain't it great? BTW, he's on wife #3 now...sweet justice. She can have him!
I appreciate your raw telling of your life story. I think more people than you imagine can relate to at least part of it, and it's always nice to know that we aren't alone, ya know?
Jodi, this is so inspiring and heartbreaking and beautiful. I relate to every word. The lostness and searching. And I loved my claw foot tub in my kitchen in 1981 on 12st.
Ok, re the Assume quote, I thought it was Bill Murray from the Blues Brothers
(Which I saw) but AI said it was Walter Matthau from Bad News Bears (definitely not a movie I ever saw!)
I really appreciate you sharing this really tough territory. The doubts, uncertainties, the crazy situations. You look at it with such honesty and humor. Ive been thinking about and noticing so much about memory and memories lately. What really happened vs what i think happened. Some things in such crystal detail and others so foggy or I know it happened because there is documentation of it but it’s blank in my mind. So interesting!
Bang! AI is wrong, not Walter Matthau in any movie (and the Bad News Bears is cute)! And it's not the Blues Brother's either. Thanks for reading, and playing along. I'll give you a hint...Samuel Jackson was the actor who said it, but in which film?
You might not feel like you were brave back then, but I think you were not only brave but bold. Also, we all have roads not taken but most not as dramatic as yours.

Interesting, I found an old clip from Benny Hill with the assume - ass out of u and me

And then Samuel L Jackson talking about ass-umption in The Long Kiss Goodnight😻
Yes I wanted to be from Pulp Fiction too- love that movie!
Bingo!!!
In my memory I always want it to be from Pulp Fiction, but I recently rewatched The Long Kiss Goodnight. Thanks for playing 🙏🏼
