At 29 you're still very young, Jen! Plenty more years ahead of you to decide, but I think you hit the nail on the head with the above. It's the what-if mentality that can bring a person down, even if the outcome of a choice has turned out favourable. It can be quite a perverse way of thinking, but I'm certainly guilty of it.
