Thank you for this, I think it's now more about trying to become fulfilled in whatever position you are in life and trying to make the best out of our lives.

Although, as you said, there isn't a right way to live, but I personally think that we should strive for improving what we can, with the little power over the world we are given and to avoid hurting and making other people's lives worse.

I already regret not doing the "meaningless" things I thought were a waste of time, like spending more time with my now deceased dog. I took for granted that he was alive, and never really spent nearly as much time as I wish I did, thinking that an hour of work was more important.

The thing is, I don't think spending time with loved ones (your dog for example) is meaningless, infact I think it's very meaningful.

I was not saying that spending time with my dog was meaningless, just that I prioritized my work, indirectly issuing "less" meaning to the time I spent with him. Either way, the past is the past, I can only go up from here.

Sorry, I'm a bit stupid.

just that I prioritized my work, indirectly issuing "less" meaning to the time I spent with him.

I understand how sometimes we can't realise how much we'll regret something until afterwards.
