What if...?



Played this for as long as I can remember. A voice, my own, asks, “What if…?” 
“Henry French doesn’t ask me to Prom?”

“Go to school. Meet your friends at the lunchroom table.”

“I don’t get the dream job?” 

“Send out more resumes.”
"Someone doesn’t want me as a friend?” the adult me asks.
"Remember quality over quantity. I am still loved.”

"My kid will never read?"

"Audio-books!"

"The Cubs don't win the World Series?"

"Life goes on as usual. More time for Netflix."

It’s been my youthful mechanism. Go-to decision maker. Mama’s little helper.

So what if?
