Getting older isn’t easy. You look back on your life and all the messy parts of it that you wish you could re-write.
And then you look down on your little child and you realize that you cannot possibly regret anything in the whole complicated chain of events that led to the existence of this child. And so, you turn to the future, which is where you should be looking anyway.
I completely agree with you. Sure, there are times that you’d wish you can go back to change certain events in the past but if you think deeper, you’d realize that the good things wouldn’t have come to be if things had been different.
