It seems like most people are reasonably satisfied with whatever kind of life they ended up having. To the extent that you are indeed like other people, this should be reassuring.
Seems like hindsight bias, though, no? I mean, you can’t go back and change the life you’ve already had, so there’s not much point in getting upset about it post hoc.
Right now, though, I can change my life, at least in theory. So it’s not much good taking comfort in the fact that someday it will be too late. Right now it’s not too late, and right now I’m scared.
