If you could relive one year of your life, which one would it be?
If I could relive one year of my life, I would go back to the year I returned to college after my military service.
At the time, my bank account was always empty. I spent every spare hour tutoring just to pay for my tuition and living expenses. I felt proud of being self-sufficient, but looking back, I realize I spent my youth chasing financial security instead of taking bigger risks.
If I could do it over again, I wouldn’t spend that year chaining myself to a desk and a bank account. Instead, I would apply for a working holiday visa, pack a bag, and throw myself into the wider world. I wish I had experienced working abroad, facing language barriers, and stepping out of my comfort zone while I was young.
I can’t change the past, but it reminds me that life is meant for adventure, not just survival.
