regret is hell.
why didn’t you dance when you could?
why didn’t you sing when you could?
why didn’t you travel when you could?
why didn’t you enjoy when you could?
why didn’t you build when you could?
why didn’t you love when you could?
why didn’t you live when you could?
Casino Royale (2006) set the bar so high because it stripped Bond down to fundamentals. It rebuilt the character from the ground up, and that level of realism and stakes has been hard for the franchise to ever match again.
All we really experience is the present moment. The past and the future are just ideas your mind creates and thinks about while you’re still right here in the now.
