That’s how I feel; if I had done anything differently, I may not be who I am today, or have the truly important things that I have now. We learn and are created by all of our experiences, good and not-so-good.
(One exception: I would have spent less and saved more ;-)
Anything I really want, I still have time and resources to obtain and experience.
I want a dog.

I want lots of dogs!
Is anyone else, in spite of perhaps making not-so-wise choices when younger sometimes, a lot happier later in life that they would have dreamed?
If I had known how much happier I would be when I was older, in comparison to how I felt in my 20s, there would have been a huge load taken off my shoulders.
The one thing I would say is really get to know yourself and make choices where you will fit. If you love nature, for example, don’t try to shoe-horn your way into an accounting job in downtown NY. Find something that fits with what makes you happy. Find a partner who will be your best friend and always be on your side. Find the solace in God’s infinite love, and learn to listen when he speaks. Love your children unconditionally, but learn when to say no.
Agreed...including you exception
