Time Travel: An Escape From Regret or a Path to Healing
When the present is good, we don't regret the terrible mistakes of the past... There might have been some time in the past when those mistakes haunted us, but as long as our present is going well and the future looks bright, we don't think much about correcting our mistakes.

There are some people whose past mistakes still haunt them in their present, and could haunt them forever. If they were given another chance to time-travel and correct their mistakes, they won't think twice.
The story I want to share is about a woman who married for love. Let us call her treasure.
Treasure is now 38 years old, and she still regrets her past decision... Here is the story!
Treasure came from an elite family; her family was doing well for themselves, and some of her siblings were out of the country. The plan was to send her to the UK to continue her nursing career when she was done with her secondary school education in Nigeria, but something happened during that year that changed her life.
She fell in love with a guy who was once her senior in school. When she was done with secondary school, they both made their intention known to their parents, but Treasure's family was not in support because they felt it was not yet time for such things, they wanted her to build her career first by going to the UK but Treasure was not ready to travel or care about her career, she just wanted to be with the love of her life.

She got pregnant and eloped with the guy; the parents have no choice but to let her be. No matter what a child does, the mother will always forgive her. Her mother sends her money whenever she calls and tells her about the hardship she is facing in her marital home. Unfortunately, a few years later, the mum died, and that was when Treasure started regretting her decision.
When the mother was alive, her siblings used to send money and other things home to their mother, and it was from what they sent that the mother used to give treasure, but now that the mother is dead, the other siblings have no reason to send anything home again and they don't really care about treasure since they warned her against it.
Anytime Treasure and her husband quarrel, the statement that always comes out of her mouth is it is not your fault, I am the one who sacrificed my career for love which is to say she regrets her decision and it is going to torment her for life.
If someone like her were allowed to correct her mistakes, she would choose her career instead, and maybe her life would have been better. She may not be with the person she loves, but at least she won't be lacking the way she is right now.

Sacrificing one's career for love as a woman is one of the most stupid decision to make, because even your husband won't value you if you are not valuable and it will affect mutual respect in marriage. I feel so much for Treasure
I agree with you. A price she had to pay for falling in love at the wrong time with a wrong person.

I also think it was a terrible mistake. Self dependency is a good thing and avoiding it only for love is not an wise idea. In fact, I think career and love both can co-exist at the same time.
Yea, she could have pursue her career and still communicate with her love and if luck is on their side, they can still be together in the future instead of ending her career and living in regret.
The cost of her decision is quite high now as it has somehow capped what she can do after getting married with the love of her life. Love can be an overpowering feeling but it's always good to think about the bigger picture too as situations can change with the blink of an eye.
She lost the opportunity and she is never getting it back cos she lost the one person who was ready to sponsor and even if the mother was alive, she has kids now, she can't possible leave them .
This really hits deep. It shows how important our choices are, but also that we’re human and we learn from our mistakes.
You are right , we learn from our mistakes but some mistakes haunt us forever. It is better we learn from others stories that being the bearer.
This is a painful story, but Treasure made her choice.
She threw away an opportunity other girls would embrace with joy.
I believe we still have some people like treasure who can do exactly what she did, they forget nothing last forever .
Lolz
You are actually right 😂, people like Treasure still exist.
Here the word may be itself is uncertain, there is no surely thing that she will in a good condition of she choosen the carrier at first place. The future is uncertain even if someone got back in past and make the changes still the future which is going to change because of those changes is again uncertain.
