I'm thinking of writing something (
book/script) called "My Three Lives" based on the "what if" I decided to do one thing or another at the critical age of 20.
For many it is the decision they make while in senior year of High School or the first job out of college that sets their course in life. My schedule had a few dead-ends that needed to be exhausted before I found direction, and held steady this direction despite other opportunities that came my way and the great hills I had yet to climb. The list of people I met and had exchanges with is truly note worthy, I'm sure that I'll have to water it down or get releases, or just wait until they all die off and call it fiction.
Certainly a decision made as a young lad in reform school also has it's repercussions
tabs, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly what based on your short musing. I'm picturing a black & white film with dark sarcasm and a narrator's voice for tabs, something reflecting his personality.
Something similar to this for
tabs:
The Tin Drum (film)

.............making it even clearer that the narrator in the child’s body is far more worldly wise than his innocent appearance would suggest, and reminding us that the often comic events we see on-screen in the first part of the film prefigure the Holocaust............
First published in 1959, the book, about a little boy, Oskar, who refuses to grow, caused a huge controversy in Germany, both because of its bawdiness and because it dealt in such an ironic and mocking fashion with the Nazi era. ...............

Let me know if you need help with the story boards.
Just replace Nazi's with Hippies and I think you'll find direction.
