Have you ever in your life felt that you chose the wrong path?
What’s so serious?. What do you mean?
Like a decision that changed your whole life. And looking back, you realise you made the wrong choice.
Sounds like you’re having a midlife crisis. Why do you suddenly ask that? What are you reading there?
Nothing. I’m just looking at some old photos.
Let me see… Our wedding photos! That was the wrong decision?
No! I just feel that, if I could go back in time, I would do many things differently. Pursue different goals.
You’d marry someone else!
That’s not what I meant.
Most people look back on their weddings with happiness and nostalgia. You look back with regret!
I don’t! I used to have ambitions. I used to have dreams…
And I got in the way of you reaching your dreams, did I?
You don’t understand. I was looking at the wedding photos to remind me…
Remind you what?
Remind me that despite everything… at least one of my dreams came true.
Oh…
