Is there such a thing as a life without any regrets? I've never believed so. We spend our lives aiming for happiness and fulfillment in work, in love and with our friends and family, and yet often our energy is spent lamenting bad boyfriends, wrong career turns, fall-outs with friends and opportunities missed. Or is that just me? I admit I'm naturally a glass-half-empty kind of girl, but I know regrets are a burden to happiness and I'm trying to let go of them because I've learned that it's all about choice.
