My guy contact list once told me that I seemed the least fortunate in our friend group. I didn’t understand & took offense, assuming it was an insult. Now, with hindsight, I see she was right. We all started the same time, but their achievements far surpass mine. I don’t envy them—I’m content with who I am. Yet, I sometimes wonder how far I could’ve gone if I were half as smart or strategic as they are.
