The road not taken...

[hbkbkk]

I am sure all of us have road not taken..

what are some of your? and do you have regret?

[zeusbheld]

a lot of roads not taken. "road not taken" implies an actual decision, a conscious choice as opposed to just ******* up.

ending up in bangers is the byproduct of several roads not taken. a great many of those might have ended above-the-line (that is producer, writer or even diretor) of a feature film. probably not, and probably would have been a small film if at all.

as it is my short detour to bangers has just passed two years. i'll have a book at the end of all this, which i own half of, and i'm involved in a (small) movie that will most likely get made (share of "story by" credit, "associate producer credit, if all goes well). but meanwhile soo many of my classmates have made feature films, many of which did quite well. i feel like i've dropped off the face of the earth. haven't figured out yet whether i regret it.

i do have regrets though. not necessarily related to moving here, but i'm not going to go into them. inevitably though many people will post in this thread "i have no regrets i learned from all my mistakes and experiences." that's fine and all, but i'd have rather have learnt it by reading it in a fuckin' book than had to screw it up in real life.

there i've done the talk therapy part, can you please prescribe the drugs now doc?

PS OP, will you answer your own question?

I'm currently in a situation that a "choice" in life, a new direction, was presented to me and I opted not to take it/ended up in situation where that direction was eventually closed. This choice was regarding new job. Maybe in a year or even sooner I will know did I just not take a turn that I will regret.
