“[M]ost people go through life a wee bit disappointed in themselves. I think we all keep a memory of a moment when we missed someone or something, when we could have gone down another path, a happier or better or just a different path.

Now we can do whatever we want to do.” PeopleThinkingWantMeanDifferentMomentsPastBitsCan DoMemoriesGonePathPossibilityTreasureDisappointedAnother TimeMarkersDifferent Paths Author:James Robertson
