And no one said I should be buying fancy cocktails. That was all my choice” ”Despite making some poor choices” ”Let’s take a pause. What could I have done differently [list of 6 things she could have done differently] But I didn’t do any of those things.” ”All I could think was that I had wasted the one opportunity the universe had given me to write my way out”
