Since there is no "if", why not now

Anyone in marriage must have thought about divorce countless times, and even fantasized about what would have happened if they had not chosen each other back then.
But the biggest regret in the world is that there is no if. Grace in the movie "Princess of Monaco", the Oscar-winning actress, gave up her acting career in the United States for love, and married Monaco as a princess, thinking that she would start a marriage life like a prince Cinderella, but the reality is not satisfactory, even if she lives In a castle as beautiful as a fairy tale, it cannot enrich the lonely, empty, confused and lost heart. The royal family's rules and regulations, the feelings are gradually indifferent, far away from relatives and friends, the castle has become a prison cell, and the garden is an iron bar that isolates the outside world. So when director Hitchcock made a movie invitation, the dusty dream of acting came back. To be precise, it was possible to escape reality. Tremblingly, I asked my husband for permission, and got a reply that I could act as long as I could handle the public opinion. Yes, the noble Princess of Monaco is going back to Hollywood to act, which in itself gives the world infinite suspicion, not to mention in an era of political instability. Unexpectedly, the big basket came out, and I had to give up, if I wanted to continue the marriage.
"Forrest Gump" said that life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what will happen in the next moment. The beauty of the world lies in the unpredictable future, but also in the unpredictable self, what the world will be like in the next second, and what will happen to yourself. It seems that in that second suddenly, I start to think and reflect, what do I want. It's not that I haven't thought about divorce, but even if I overturn everything now, I can't start all over again. On the contrary, there are still a series of difficult things to deal with, such as children, reputation, and various pressures brought by the breakdown of the royal marriage. Thinking about it from another angle, if you keep walking and grit your teeth, it doesn't seem that difficult. To choose a person is to choose a life, good or bad, what you like and what you don't like, you have to endure it. So I began to learn the rules of the royal family, the official language, elegant behavior and manners, and regarded myself as the princess of this country from the heart. Because of the good foundation itself, coupled with concentrated practice, finally ushered in a gorgeous turn, not only to please her husband, to shut up those who want to see jokes, to win the respect of the world, and most importantly, to please myself.
With a different mindset, the world is a lot better.
Coincidentally, in the movie "Charlotte Troubles", Charlotte had a long dream. In the dream, he married the goddess in his heart, became a big star, and lived in a mansion. Everything developed according to his dream, but In the end, he wanted to use everything he had in exchange for the wife he had been dissatisfied with in reality. Is this as the song says:
You think that everything is not well
-chosen and what you want doesn't match up.
You think that time can be
changed again and become the protagonist .
Love will last forever
because you choose this path, So step by step, we will face, endure, and overcome the difficulties and obstacles on this road. Had another path been chosen at that time, there would have been no thorns in this path. Of course, because roads are different. However, the other road is not all good, and there must be thorns that make it up. The question is not which path to choose, but whether you are afraid of facing difficulties.
It's not easy to have someone who loves you. When you miss you who have lost your repentance, can you still get that kind heart back?
So, don't think about those "what ifs" again and again, change your mentality, live the present well, and love the people around you. The rest, that may be happiness.
