i asked one of my coworkers has she ever had to make a change to avoid regret, and if so, how she did it. she told me she had to go through a short-term valley to experience a hill in the long-term. i’m paraphrasing on behalf of her, but i thought that made so much sense. she said also, the sooner she began to make changes, the better because the longer you wait to make one, the worse the regret becomes. i think i’m feeling the effects of waiting, and trust, it’s not a good feeling to carry.
the good thing is that i carry my future in the same hands i carry these regrets, and i know which one to keep with me and which one to leave behind.
