I said, well not everyone has the option to choose. But I do. And that makes me feel worried - like what if I make the wrong choice, for one? Or what if I look back years from now, when I don't have the energy that I have now, and I regret not doing all these things - like travelling, like skiing down that slope, not doing the dermatology diploma, not trying my hand in aesthetics, not giving back? I'm terrified that I will look back and think, well that was a wasted life.

She said, no one regrets working less. And if you space things out a bit more, maybe your productive years will be longer as well.

It also occurs to me that when I think of things I will regret when I'm old, I don't think I'll regret taking more time to do all the things I want to do, and working less... so let's do that, maybe.
