In the past year I've lived and worked on 3 continents, done a long road trip, now settled in a new city and established a home there, had a few different jobs, met many new people and had a window into some very different worlds. This is very different from pervious years of mine, as I lived in the city I was born in for my entire life. It's the only year I haven't looked back and thought, "Wow, it's been a year, already?" I actually look back and think about just how much I've done in a year. The passage of time still stings in a way that it always will, but I've figured out that the key to avoiding pure regret is having a host of varying experiences to look back upon.
