Never was

Aren’t there opportunities in your life that you wish you could have taken? Roads you could have gone down but didn’t, or roads that were desirable but so far out of reach you could never reach them? Have you ever looked around and wondered if things would be different if you went the other way, smiled or frowned, kissed that other girl? What if you stayed antisocial and had only antisocial friends? What if the outer shell of your strong personality was never penetrated?

What if that “what if” never was?
