Does anyone ever reflect on their life decisions? If you could have a redo, would you make different choices? Would you still go into the media industry?

Uh, I think about what could have been all the time, actually. I definitely feel like I've gone down the wrong path in my career, but I'm not sure how to even figure out what else I want to do, let alone change gears completely.

I love the field I am in. It was a great fit for me from the start. I like my current position but I never really rose to the level I wanted to in the industry. That was the frustrating part for me to accept. I had to sidetrack a bit in my career and make some adjustments to my goals but overall, I am very happy with my current career.

I obsess over my life decisions all day every day. Especially the ones I haven't made yet. It doesn't bring much happiness to be honest.
