Yeah, I wish I were kinder. I wish I had taken more risks, you know, those kinds of things. And I came back to Washington, D.C., where I live, and I knew that no—and it bothered me, these regrets.

But I kind of sheepishly mentioned it to some people, and I discovered that everybody wanted to talk about it. That as soon as I gave them the license to talk about it, they came forward with their own regrets. And you did your own— And that's a really good sign.

Yeah, well, the key is not to be stuck in the regret. And the thing is, everybody has regrets. It's one of the most common emotions that humans have. The thing is, we haven't been taught how to deal with them properly. So some of us ignore our regrets. So we put our fingers in our ears and say, no regrets, no regrets.

Because regrets are often kind of blobby and amorphous, and so when we write about them or talk about them, we take this blob and make it concrete. We turn it into words, and those words help us make sense of it, and those words are less menacing.
