What Could Have Been

December 31, 2023 by James Larson Leave a Comment

“What Could Have Been” is a gripping drama about a young woman’s journey of self-empowerment as she confronts the ruins of her shattered dreams and relationships, symbolized by a trip to Venice never taken and a life plan upended, ultimately finding strength in letting go and moving forward.

AMELIA: What do you want from me, Mike? To get down on my knees and beg you to come back? To forget everything you said at the end and just sweep it under the rug? It wasn’t just our relationship you ruined. You ruined every moment we could have spent together. When I close my eyes I see us in Venice, touching the ancient stones, eating amazing food, and well… that’s all gone. The cozy home we wanted. The dog we were going to get. It’s like a reel of film being set on fire, each frame a lost moment. And you lit the match. If you’re not going to be honest, at least take some f’cking responsibility! But that was always too much for you! I have to sit here and grieve the life we were supposed to live. But this is me letting go. Stepping out the ruins of our dreams, to build something for me. Just like you were doing without me while we were together. So, no, Mike. We can’t “get back together”. We’re so far apart I can’t even see you now. Enjoy your life on the other side.
