To that ex-boyfriend I had when I was 20, for thinking I couldn't do something. For having his boring-ass ducks in a row so young. For being unwilling to try something new. Or leave the neighborhood, even. Thanks guy, you made me want none of that and I am happily married, travelling, taking chances every chance I get to try something and go somewhere new. I know you have dated out the circle of friends and still live in the same house, the same job, the same area and the monotony of that makes me squirm. So thanks, for saying you didn't think I could do something, because it made me realize that it's because you didn't want to.
