   As a teenager, I secretly wanted to pursue dancing as a profession. Dancing was the one thing I excelled in, and I felt alive as I took lessons at a community center. When I was 17, my dance teacher invited me to join her studio, which was a rare offer. I was elated.

   But at home, I was told that my priority is the college entrance exams. "In fact," my mother said, "you should stop taking the dance lessons and focus on your study."

   I didn't even fight.
   Sometimes I still wonder if I should've.

     @hashitan This is a very complex problem, right? I understand you.
     So many “Should have, could have” in our lives. Is this your biggest?

     Do you have a chance to dance in your life now?

     @csacaness That’s sweet, thank you. ?
     That may be the biggest one, because I regret not fighting for what I loved. I feel pretty confident to have made the right decisions on other what-ifs.

     I do dance at home in my living room because it’s a very motivating exercise for me. ?
