Meaning
This reads as a refusal to turn longing into regret. It can be taken to mean that the speaker chose to act instead of letting a desired life remain only an imagined memory later in life. It lands for anyone facing a postponed dream, especially when there is a chance to do the thing now rather than keep wishing for it.
