This week, we explore the tension that comes with getting older: reckoning with the life you have while reflecting on the life you didn’t choose. Using the psychological concept of counterfactual thinking those “what if” and “if only” thoughts, we unpack the emotional pull of the road not taken, what our unlived lives seem to promise, and whether we’re longing for something real or simply romanticizing the fantasy.
