Thinking about my peak-cringe moment, it made me wonder: if I could live that moment again and make a different choice than the one I actually made, would I do it? I’ve often thought about that. Sometimes when I give unsolicited advice to people younger than me it’s really 20-year-old me I’m talking to.
Twenty-year-old me never takes the advice, though. He does the same thing every time.
But if I could do it over, would I? All the good things in my life that happened later – would I put those things at risk? Reshuffle the deck and deal myself a new hand, just to be able to go back and fix that one thing?
I wish I’d handled it differently. But maybe my regret at the choice I did make is part of what gave me the courage to make different, riskier choices later on, with all the good things that resulted.
