Could it have given me the peace I was searching for even in the midst of struggle? In those moments of uncertainty, I wonder if praying would have made the difference. The truth is, we can't change the past. All we have is the present and the lessons learned from the ""what-ifs."" A part of me still wonders if I had stepped up instead of hesitating, if I had embraced the chance to play instead of holding back, would my story have unfolded in a different way?
