A Reflection on Life Regrets, Missed Chances, and the Wisdom of Fate

It sounds so tempting, doesn’t it?
Change one decision. Just one. And life would be different.

We all have moments we look back on and wonder:
“What if I had done it differently?”
“Would my life be better today?”

I think about this often.
Not because I live in regret — but because now, with time, I can see clearly the many crossroads where I could have chosen another way.

There is one question that returns again and again in my mind:
What if I had made different choices about Mila and me?

So many things could have been done differently.
What if I had not decided to go to Australia?
What if, when I received that letter from Mila’s mother — telling me that Mila had been unfaithful — instead of asking my own mother whether it was true, I had written to my friends to find out the truth myself?

What if I had fought harder, or waited longer?
What if we had reunited earlier — would our love have lasted?

The truth is — I will never know.
And that is why changing the past is a big gamble.
At the time, I believed I was doing the right thing. Later, I saw the consequences. But even now, I ask myself: were those really mistakes — or just the path life had already written for us?

I have come to one conclusion:
Fate often knows better than we do.

Yes, there are decisions I could have changed.
But would I be the person I am today?
Would I understand love the way I do now?
Would I have this story to tell — a story that still touches so many hearts?

Sometimes, the hardest moments lead us to the deepest understanding.
And sometimes, we must accept that not every path we lost was truly meant to be walked.

Now I ask you:
If you could change one decision in your life — would you?
And which one would it be?

For me, I have made peace with my choices.
Not because they were perfect — but because they shaped the life I have today.
A life full of lessons, memories, and still, love.
