I have lived in different areas of the same city for most of my adult life. As a child, I visited this same city several times a year. Sometimes I drive through areas of the city I haven’t been in for a long time, remembering things from my teenage and early twenties years.

This morning as I drove Mr Jones to a hospital appointment (the joys of aging!) I found myself stopped at a set of traffic lights and remembering something that happened many years ago at the same set of traffic lights. In my twenties, I was driving from my workplace in a rural town just outside the city to my boyfriend’s house in the inner suburbs. A car with two young guys in it was driving in the lane beside me. We made eye contact, and as we stopped at the lights, they started talking to me out the car window.

After a brief conversation, one hopped out and gave me his phone number. Back then I was oblivious to the idea that random men in the street could find me attractive. His attention flustered me and I worried about “stranger danger”. But, as always, I was polite. I thanked him, tucked the number into my centre console cup holder and drove away when the light went green.

Later, I told my boyfriend about what happened. He was older than me, and at the time I thought I was in a relationship that would end in a white picket fence dream. Looking back, I realise that he was punching so far above his weight it wasn’t funny. At least I saw the light and moved on before I made a mistake that would have affected the rest of my life.

This morning as I remembered that funny interaction, I wondered what my life would have looked like if I had kept that number. Where would my life have gone if I had listened to the universe tapping on my shoulder? The romantic in me thinks about a carefree relationship that embraced being young and having fun. Something I didn’t do enough of back then.

The realist in me tells me that the guy was probably a douche canoe and I would have been wasting my time. Who knows? Maybe, like the Gwyneth Paltrow movie, my life would have taken a different path but ended up in the same place. Who knows?

As they say, things happen as they are meant to happen.
