this was shocking to me, because prior to this moment, i had prided myself on having absolutely no regrets. i made a lot of mistakes and dumb decisions but i had always felt i made the best choice i could make, given who i was then, given the information i had on hand. i learnt a lesson from it. it somehow got me to where i am in life right now. and i wouldn't change it. in other words, lamenting things in the past is an absolute waste of time; i should always look forwards and not backwards, and strive to live a life without no regrets.
