no ordinary life

The other night as I was lying awake I wondered if, in the end, I’ll have spent more time thinking about the people I didn’t get to be, the experiences I didn’t get to have, the things I’ve felt I was denied, the times I felt like I wasn’t able to love or be loved, all the awful ways in which my life was not ordinary, or if I’ll have spent more time thinking about the person I did get to be, the experiences I did get to have, the things I accomplished and was a part of, the times I felt I was able to love and be loved, the incredible ways in which my life was not ordinary.
