Regret almost always sits in the choices made for love, approval or belonging: the incoherent sacrifices, the distorted compromises, the quiet self-betrayals we call kindness, and the ledger we keep of them.Tell me in the comments: what moment would you go back to, and would you actually step into the time machine?00:00 The time machine question02:05 You don't know what happens after03:56 Incoherent sacrifice06:02 Where regret actually sits08:05 The ledger and the invoice09:50 My own time machine13:16 The origin and the genesis point15:18 The sign that you've healed17:23 Your questionThe Atlas is free.
