This just about sums up my life's biggest fear: that I've missed out on everything, taken the path most traveled & least adventurous, that there is a trip I was meant to take that would have meant the world & turned it upside down. #noregrets "I suspect that the way I feel now, at summer’s end, is about how I’ll feel at the end of my life...regretful about all the things I didn’t get around to...and wondering where it all went. And I’ll probably still be evading the same truth I’m evading now: that the life I ended up with, much as I complain about it, was pretty much the one I chose. And my dissatisfactions with it are really with my own character, with my hesitation and timidity."
