Thinking about my peak-cringe moment makes me wonder: if I could go back and relive that moment, handle it differently, would I do it? Knowing that I’d be reshuffling the deck, putting all the subsequent events in my life – good and bad – at risk?
Sometimes (most of the time) when I’m giving unsolicited advice to someone younger than me, telling them to go for it, take the risk, I’m really talking to 20-year-old me. But 20-year-old me never listens.
The good things that happened later in my life: Would I have taken the risks that led to those things if I didn’t have the sense of regret that took hold in those 10 seconds and stayed with me ever since?
