I’m trying hard to reframe it but struggling. A quote by Rachel Marie Martin seems fitting:
“Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought it [life] would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living”.
Does anybody else reflect on what your life could’ve been?
Excellent quote! Yes, I reflect and I mourn that loss. I can't help but wonder though... Life was screaming at me to make some changes. What if all of this pain is pushing me toward something greater?
