I have an old friend from years ago who has gotten somewhat famous and wealthy. We have not talked for at least 20 years, but we dated for a month or two back in the late 1980's, and I was best friends with her brother for many years.
Here is the trailer for the second movie made from one of her books. The first one was called Because of Winn-Dixie. This new movie is called The Tale of Despereaux.

It's a weird feeling when someone I knew very well years ago becomes famous and wealthy, especially when I have never had any desire for wealth and fame myself, and of course i wonder what my life would be like if we had stayed together and gotten married, had children, etc.
But if that had happened, she might never had become a famous writer, right?
This poem by Emily Dickinson sums it up for me.
I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too?

I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell! They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!
-Emily Dickinson
