How will you ever know what could have been if we never gave it a chance? We can imagine all we want but never really know for sure. There will always be a teeny tiny possibility of the opposite kind.
Yes, imagination is a good thing to have. Indeed, great. But give it a rest periodically. Just do what you wonder about. Just try. Just give chance a chance.
That is so much more worth than wondering. And regretting.
