There Will Be a Last Time You Do Almost Everything

There was a last time your parents picked you up and carried you. A last time you went outside to play with your childhood friends. A last time you sat around the dinner table with your entire family, everyone still alive, everyone still together.
The strange thing is, you probably didn’t know any of those moments were the last.

“How do I not be jealous of my friend who has everything I want”

I’m 43, single, no kids, and still renting an apartment. Lately, I’ve been struggling with something I’m not proud of. I’m jealous of one of my closest friends.
We’ve known each other since college, but our lives have gone in completely different directions. He’s married to a wonderful woman, has two kids, a nice house, and a comfortable life. Meanwhile, I’m still living alone, coming home to an empty apartment every night.
Regret Is the Price of Having More Than One Possible Life

Every major decision you make closes the door on a life you could have lived.
Marry one person, and you’ll never know what life might have been like with someone else. Move across the country for a job, and you’ll never experience the version of your life where you stayed close to home. Have children, and you’ll never know what you might have done with all that freedom. Don’t have children, and you’ll never know what raising a family might have felt like.
