I believe the metaphor for life as a journey is solid. When traveling, where you are is obviously directly connected to where you have been. You got to where you are from somewhere.

Life is like that, too. You are where you are based on where you once were and the decisions you made at that point. Sometimes, you take a path for a long distance before you realize you wish you were somewhere else.

Changing course could be as easy as—metaphorically—making a turn and going a different direction. Or it could mean turning around, getting on some side road, and then cutting across unplanned paths in order to get where you wished to be.

I thought it would be an interesting exercise to talk about the course my life has taken—the roads, side roads, missed turns, backtracks, and detours I followed on my way to where I am now. How did Jason Keller become the man he is?

As I stand here a few weeks away from my wedding to Ailana, looking back seems fitting. I hope you will enjoy the glimpses into the things that shaped me into who I am.

As Ailana did in her “Growing Up Ailana” series, I’ll try to share the most significant defining moments of my life. Some of hers and mine will be the same, of course. But my goal in this collection of anecdotes is to let you better see how I became who I am.

Thank you in advance for letting me share my life with you.

Be your best you!

Hi Jason, the metaphor is more than suitable and it seems the unexpected is not only exclusive for Ailana 🤣. It'd be interesting to know your version in order to get the whole picture related to Ailana's life.
