Peace doesn't come from finding a regret-free life. Maybe peace comes from accepting that every intentional life contains both a sense of gratitude and a sense of loss. You can deeply love what you chose while still feeling the occasional ache of what you left behind. It's human. That tension is not a flaw in the system. It's just human beings—being human. See what I did there? And here is the strange truth: the road not taken is often an imaginary one. The intentional life must bear the full weight of existence—the compromises, disappointments, sacrifices, and responsibilities that come with being alive.
