Regarding music: the concerts I missed out in haunt me!
You seem pretty similar to how I was in school. My way of revisiting that is understanding it now that I’m a teacher. I think it makes me way more effective. Not perfect but able to connect and engage students more as well as encourage them to not fear being challenged.

I used to train kids at their first job and used my experiences in a similar fashion to push them to try new things and go for what they want without fearing failure. I would always tell them, “The biggest difference between you and me is that I’ve been on this floating rock longer than you have, so here’s my experience and the results. Use that info however you want.” Kids should be allowed to make their own choices and mistakes, but be informed on their options as much as they can be so that they can do so safely.
