I have a lot of “regret not encountering sth earlier” moments: “if only I could read this book earlier “”why don’t I travel here earlier” “why I didn’t meet him/ her earlier “etc. It feels if I encountered sth/ sb earlier, my life could be totally different (better of course)
But now I rather accept the fact that everything just happens at the right timing. Only at this moment that thing happens could have an impact on me.
