Lightbulb going off, or the pain of epiphany

What if you could pinpoint the exact moment your life derailed? Would you want that? Will it resolve anything, or just remind you of a painful experience? Make you angrier? Motivate you to invent a time machine?

I just had an epiphany this morning. I was looking at my mirror (I have only one, and no, I don't look at it all day) and thought of a date way back in August 1995, when something particular happened, and it completely changed how I approached things

I wish I could change that, but it made me who I am today. I guess I'll never know what could have been.
