Talk about a cross road in your life but to be honest, I'd rather not think about the what-if situation.

While I've never seen that movie, I can certainly relate to what you are saying. The path that got me to where I am right now was not expected. Financially/professionally things have worked out much better than I could have anticipated, and I wouldn't wish for a different business path (at least so far), but damn if I'm not sure that I know how I want to spend the rest of my life.
I feel strongly that I'm still going to navigate through differnet, bigger roads; but there's definitely something inside of me that says I won't be completely happy long term socially in the online internet industry. My life that's keeping me satisfied now as a single, near 22 year old won't still be what I'm interested in a little further down the road. I think a lot of younger people in this internet industry are going to be going through a lot of soul searching in the future.
