Thank you for this piece. I related to so much of it, and spent a while pondering that question: is it okay/mature/healthy to regret a past decision? I hear the same responses: the bad experiences made you who you are, and you've learned so much from them... Those responses come from a good place, but I agree that there are things I would prefer not to have learned.
This letter has given me sooooo much. Thanks Sophia for your wonderful writing. Hope you are sitting in the saddle again (or at least soon)!
