Psychologist: A lot of people find their 40th birthday challenging. Sam: Please don’t make it about that. P: What do you think it’s about? S: Why don’t you tell me? You’re the professional. P: Your 40th birthday. S: Well, there’s some circular reasoning for you. I have no fear of getting older. It’s just that all of the choices disappear. Everything has been decided for me. I mean, I’m just locked into my life. Who I’m married to, who my children are, what I do for a living. It’s all done, all the doors are closed.There’s only one door I haven’t walked through and I’m not eager to. P: So you feel trapped? S: What? No. I love my life. I just sometimes wonder what would happen if it was blown to smithereens and I got to start all over again.Is that crazy? P: People blow their lives up all the time. S: Right. It’s not like my family is gonna disappear. I’m not gonna wake up one morning and find Ethan is single, for example. That’s not the main thing I’m thinking about. P: You bring that up every session. S: Well someone is keeping score. P: I’m just observing a pattern. "S: And I’m observing a pattern, too. Of hostile score keeping."From Friends From College
