I'm not talking about the kind of regret where you chose option A instead of B and if you had a chance to do over again you would choose option B. I'm talking about the kind of regret where even though you feel regret choosing option A instead of B, if you could travel back in time you would still choose option A.
So, recently, I found the following channel on reddit. There is this Asian American guy that is a really talented musician in college. He broadcasts his improvs.

No, that's not me even though a part of me wish it was.
Back in high school, I was quite a musician. Music was my life. I grew up playing the piano. Played the clarinet for the orchestra. Played the altosax for my own jazz group. I was going to go to college and major in music performance. Was going to be on top of the world playing music!
Well, sometime in my HS senior year, something clicked in me. I realized I did not want to be a starving musician. The fact of the matter is in the music world, especially classical, it is extremely competitive. Only a hand full makes it. The rest become comparable to street musicians. I also admitted to myself that I simply did not have the musical talent to be that competitive.
A dream died.
To this day, a part of me regrets not pursuing music. And yet, if I somehow got thrusted back in time, I would still have not chosen a musical path.
Do you have a half regret? I call it half regret because I don't know what else to call it.
