Sometimes I am accused of missing out on opportunities.
Did I miss out on an opportunity that has haunted me for a number of years afterwards? Should I have tried harder or even fight for it, as opposed to accepting reality and taking a step back? The feeling of loss and rejection surfaced deeping during the wedding, when all the songs they played remind me of those days.
Did I miss out on an opportunity that may have changed my life, giving me an opportunity to experience a different place and culture? Will anyone else in my shoes make the same decision I did? The feeling of loss and non-recognition surfaced when others took up similar opportunities with no hesitation, not understanding that I have given up my opportunity for them.
Did I miss out on an opportunity that may have changed the outcome for a family? If I would have taken a certain position, a family may have been saved from the hurt and depression from rejection and discrimination of others. The feeling of loss and rejection surfaced every time I am reminded by how the family was being treated by others.
Did I miss out on an opportunity to say words that are close to my heart during the life of a person? If I made more of an effort in communication, I may have shared deeper with that person, before they left permanently. The feeling of loss and guilt surfaced every time I woke up after dreaming where the scenes in the dreams contained that person as if they were on earth.
Maybe the only thing I should do is to grasp hold of opportunities in the future and don't let them slip away. There are always opportunities in life. But unfortunately, some opportunities happen only once in your lifetime.

the question is why did u not choose those opportunities?
maybe cause a lack of trust? insecurity? were the reasons why u didnt take those opportunities valid even as u reflect on the past actions u took.
if they were valid, then u should not regret taking the path u took, cause clearly it would be the right one.
and if u did take the opportunity that passed... is ther a guarantee that u would be happy, or a difference will be made for a person in the family or friend etc?
no nothing is guaranteed in this life, the best outcomes may not be the one u wanted anyways
