Its amazing and crazy just how different things could be, and how much rests on 1 decision or reaction that you make.
I do this a fair amount tbh, not in a regretful manner, just for my own amusement.

Wait until you get a few decades under your belt: it will blow your mind!
Quite a few I could think of.
- Stupidly playing the spoiled brat and demanding to board in England rather than Switzerland. My life would have been so different. (would probably have ended up a hooker to the Apres Ski gang
)
- Not taking a wonderful job offer in Kenya because I fell in love - real love -with a guy who turned out the worst person I could ever have brought into my life
- Then realising the arsehole of a man (above) allowed me to realise just how strong a person I really was emotionally / independantly, despite my own disbelief in myself. That proved me in good stead for the years that were to follow.
All in all - I've made bad choices, poor choices, some good choices - but I'm still here, relatively successful and have a lot to be very thankful for.
I made good choices in respect of my close friends, that I have regarded more as my family for many years.
