My point in mentioning this is only to say that people who feel any sort of regret where you are concerned will suppose you are angry, and they will see anger in what you do, even if you're just quietly going about a life of your own choosing. They make you doubt yourself, which, depending on cases, can be a severe distraction and a waste of time. This is a thing I wish I had understood much earlier than I did. ↗

It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into! ↗

As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were. ↗

One regret I have is that I did not learn more about what was happening very early, so that I could have tried to stop people from engaging in illegal activities. ↗
