Meaning

This reads as a reflection on regret that has been softened into acceptance. It can be taken to mean that the difficult parts of the path were also the ones that taught the deepest lessons, so changing them would change the person who emerged from them. It lands when someone looks back on a hard period and finds meaning in it rather than only damage.
