I gave up my career to meet Y 10 years ago, and then I chose my career over Y 5 years ago.
Do I regret the first time? No, and never will.
As for the second time, having known what I got now, no, I don’t.
Maybe a little.
But if I get to choose again for the second time, I probably would choose the same, but work harder, and harder, and even harder to achieve what I got now earlier.
Do I have a career? Yes, I do. I love my job.
Do I have Y? No I don’t. That part I regret.
Gin
miss Y so much that my heart aches.
At least I was part of your memory.
