Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Even Jessica, once hailed as a prodigy by many of her university professors, was no exception to the challenges she now faced.

Still, her current situation left her with no choice but to pick herself up and find the courage to start again.

With renewed confidence and a solid foundation, she only needed a brief half- hour conversation with Mr. Smith before he couldn't help but praise her.

"Ms. Greene, you're truly talented. It would be such a loss if you gave up animation. If you hadn't taken that seven-year break and kept working in the industry, I have no doubt your achievements would rival my own."

Even in such a short exchange, Mr. Smith could see she wasn't just technically skilled-she also had a knack for scriptwriting and directing.

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Smith," Jessica replied. "I'm not thinking that far ahead. I just want to do my current work well. As for things that haven't happened, I try not to dwell on them-no reason to add more anxiety. Everything happens for a reason, and it's never too late to start over."

In truth, those words were as much for herself as for him.

Living in the moment-that's what really matters.
