Try to roughly imagine all the different lives that you could have lived if you made other decisions. Do you think your current life is better than half of the other possible lives?

Yeah, I think I'm dead af by this age in over half of them. And that would have been a shame, because then I would have missed paul blart: mall cop 2

Considering that the statistically, the odds were not in my favor I’m sure that it my life is better than the other possibilities.

It's always greener pastures for me when it comes to these hypotheticals, I'd say tough it's above the halfway mark.

My decision points run always into the same structures everywhere and every time: You need to be tough to live as a human and you need to be soft to deserve to live as a human. So every decision is always a mixed bag for me. Some of the corners I didn't take were no decisions. Nature forged some not so welcome treats into me and I need to handle those constantly. Which makes 100% of the other possible Kates not so much desirable too.

Yeah, I would legit say I'm less than 3 better choices away from my best life, and in a way I would have rather hit bottom TBH

I think about this a lot.. I came very close to moving to Seattle when I was a kid, but the thought of having to change schools and leave all my friends behind scared me into staying. The one person I liked all through high school turned out to like me back, would've probably gone to prom with me if I hadn't moved to Florida. My childhood friend's older brother was pretty enamored by me, asked me out several times but I thought he was lame.. He runs a law firm now lol. So many regrets.
