This was a profound article to read. It also reminded of the quote by Cheryl Strayed: “I’ll never know and neither will you of the life you don’t choose. We’ll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn’t carry us. There’s nothing to do but salute it from the shore.”

Thanks for sharing this beautiful post with us, Polina!

Great article Polina! It reminds me of the quote that "comparison is the thief of joy." This quote is usually directed to comparing to others, but your article shows that we can compare with ourselves too!
