When I watch movies about teens, especially the ones about teens at the end of their high school career looking toward the future, I can’t help but wonder about my future but also my past. These kids are looking toward the world of possibilities ahead of them and delving deep inside themselves for their identity and personal truth. When I got married at the young age of 19 I felt comfortable in doing so because I believed that I knew exactly who I was. But the more I watch these movies and see these kids and their discovery, I get a sharp pang deep down inside that makes me long for more discovery of my own. It makes me wonder if, by getting married, I gave up on the possibilities to have those breakthroughs (and breakdowns), that make you who you are meant to be. By becoming a WE did I give up all of the future possibilities of ME?

Thanks for joining me!
