We all have them, rather big or small. Something I ponder a lot is how much would I take with current me into the past if I were to manage to start over. When I do this I start to realize, although I have regrets that eat at me, do I actually want to start entirely over and go back in time to not repeat them?

I find myself responding to that with a no, yes I have lost people in my life and wish I could try again better, yes I have done things I desperately wish I could take back. But I think about the impact I have had, small or big I have had an impact that overall makes me happy with my current self.

Those mistakes and who you were in the past is how I found people and made connections, it's shows me growth in oneself. If I were to do it differently to change specific events it could lead to losing the things I currently cherish, it could make me miss out on experiences that I care deeply about.

Look into the mirror and ask yourself, are those regrets really worth changing everything over just to fix? I believe not, maybe it's better to accept them instead of dwelling on them and mend them.

Try not to let them eat at you, they've happened and you have to move forward. It's impossible for them to never cross your mind of course, but it doesn't mean they have to be so harsh on you.

Enjoy your impact no matter how big or small, many things would change if you took a different route. Small things lead to big things afterall, achieve that inner peace.
