journey of 1000 regrets
When life gives you lemons, you have a few choices about what you want to do with them. You can either make lemonade, squeeze them in your enemy's eyes, eat them raw, bake a cake, juggle them, or do whatever you want to do with them.
The possibilities are endless. However, we really get to only make one choice with them unless life decides to give us more lemons. Every path we take will always come with a cost, whether we made the better choice or not.
Often times, I would think about the possibilities of choosing a different path at different parts of my timeline. Would my fate be different (yes, it would)? How different would a small butterfly effect change my life?
What would've happened if I hadn't chosen to pursue a relationship? What if I had never become addicted to chatting online? What if I got more than 3 hours of sleep in secondary school every night? Would I have grown taller than my mother? Would I still study the same major in college? What would my dreams be? Would I still enjoy sports? Would I have excelled in anything?
Alas, time continues to move on without our consent, as we get older by the day, hour, minute, second, mil-
And, alas, here I am, writing away the little time given to me in this lifetime. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't written this vlog. Would I still be in bed? Could I have used that 10 minutes studying a little more Japanese?
We'll never know.
