Well, once again, I've fallen down the trap of me-search because that's what this is again. So here's what happened. In 2019, I had one of those moments in life that you get to when you get to be my age. I'm in my 50s and I had a kid graduate from college. So that's kind of a jarring experience because you wonder like, how did that kid grow up so fast?

There were a lot of things I regretted. I wish I had worked harder. I wish I had been kinder. I wish I had been a little gutsier, taking more risks. So these thoughts were kind of tiptoeing through my head when I came back. And I wanted to discuss them with other people. But I knew that nobody wanted to talk about regret because it's taboo.
