two people graduate from the same college
one becomes CEO of a major thing
the other is constantly on the brink of homelessness
what were their paths?
birth
home parents family memories associations
childhood
friends education health diet injury pain trauma how much time did you ever get to spend feeling safe and happy having fun
teens
levels of freedom jobs dreams available options scholarships rejections not knowing any better
twenties
your resume what you do in your free time who you meet who you impress how you deal with stress the first adult version of yourself you manage to cobble together always learning and unlearning
thirties and beyond
loves heartbreaks debts wounds vendettas enlightenments forgiveness loss open doors mistakes failures giving up (on what?) who gave you another chance and why
slow death by a thousand cruelties or the feeling of always another tomorrow
strange how they mix
if you played the movie of their lives side-by-side, what could you not help but see?
