I am quickly spiraling down a rabbit hole, and the glint of light that is day fades with each passing second.

The past is time that can't ever be recovered. It's happened, and that's it. At best, learn from it and move on.

I might engage in counterfactual thinking more than the average person. I can't ultimately know because my thoughts are introspective, and unless I were to broadcast them (as I'm doing here), then no one really knows.
