Not sure what this is, but I have an idea...
Start Fiction:
It wasn't as though Martin had never felt stupid before, but this moment was exponentially more profound. Could it really be his uncertainty of self, self doubt, underachiever status, self loathing all stemmed from one incident some fifteen years prior?
Martin knew that moment had scarred him, hurt him deep; he felt emotional torment he never knew existed. Being so flippantly rejected by his fiancée, dumped in McDonald's, it was humiliating, embarrassing. He felt ashamed that he could gave behaved in any manner that would cause someone so genuine like Wendy to not be able to love him anymore.
Yet, even fifteen years later, it still hurt. Martin had been determined felt to use that experience to become a new man, a better man; the man Wendy wanted. But could he? He had to try, and did, with varying degrees of success. Did she really have that effect on him or was she just the messenger? Had he missed other messages since?
Perhaps he never felt he achieved his goal of becoming a better person as Wendy had long since married and had several kids. Yet, Martin still continued on his journey. His journey now was for him, as it should have been.
And a fascinating journey it had become.
End Fiction.
