Why did I make such a selfish decision? Why was I so greedy? I should've listened.

I'm 78 now and this is the story on how I lost everything. My family, friends, my dream and... the love of my life. Who knew that one error could destroy everything? Whoever it was it certainly wasn't me.

If only I could make the clock reverse to bring back what once was mine. If only I hadn't walked into that corner shop. If only I knew what I know now.

If only...

I admit that I regret it. I regret being so.. so vain. I later learnt that no matter how long I wished for, nothing would change.

I always thought to myself what would've happened if I didn't make that mistake. Where would I have been? Would I have had a family? Many questions swirled around my mind like a roller coaster.

Do these questions have an answer? Or is it not meant to be?

Perhaps it's my destiny.
