Someone answered with kindness...

You know, what we don’t want today, we might want later – or the other way round… we see ourselves in the future as unchanging beings; the ‘me’ of a week, a month, a year or ten years from now will be just as I am now. No, you won’t be. Today’s choices may be tomorrow’s regrets, but you never know. We don’t always know how to tackle certain challenges, but then we look back and realise we’ve already overcome many of them.
