The pain of losing out on experiences will always be greater,
in the long run, than the pain of getting burned by a single
experience gone wrong. Wounds heal. Sores close over. Life
keeps flowing past every injury and upset that we encounter
along the way. But the dull, throbbing ache of never having
gone for anything – that’s the kind of pain that
dismantles you from the inside out. That’s the pain that
follows you through your life, that refuses to dislodge from
the backburner, that slowly but surely drives you mad,
wondering what would have happened if you’d only taken
that one chance.
