How you go about dealing with something that is so out of reach?

Sometimes it is a job. Perhaps it is a location. More often it is a person.
Last year, I was offered a great opportunity to run some operations up in the Pacific Northwest. That is an area that I would love to live. Due to circumstances, I had to decline the offer.
There is something about that chance. About missing it. About opportunity lost. About regret.
Of course i drink, hookers and blow, and other levels of general rougebag nature. When all those times slow down and you really have time to be alone with your thoughts, so much of that stuff comes back to the front of the memory banks.
Does that shite ever go away? Do we always look back on what may have been?

No and yes.
People are always happier when they try out that job or new experience or whatever. Better to try and fail than to always wonder what if.

I know exactly what you're going through, man. I've been too fat to reach my feet for years, so I bought this little baby and I've never been happier.
Godspeed.

I think not, but your perspective changes and you learn to accept it. The intensity of regret (or whatever word you'd use for the feeling) will lessen as time passes. Gratitude in your everyday life is a helpful practice.

You just gotta come to terms with the fact that all that shite is gone. Whatever circumstances or actions played a part in you declining that job are not going to change.

Absolutely, especially if it's something that you would really want to experience.

About regret.
Regret is a bitch, I have a lot and it nags at me now and then.
I try to seize what I can because life is short.
Maybe one day you'll get the chance again. You know, but you don't know the good times that can really be had in the NW.

I was offered a job in Raleigh in my late 20s but due to circumstances at the time I had to turn it down. I still regret it sometimes.

Everything you need, you already have . Bruh.

No. You gotta go through the door when it's open. If not, you'll always wonder.

Of course it does
If you didnt take job because you were more worried about staying for a chick Im gonna call you a bitch
If it was because you were dealing with a sick parent or something I will not call you a bitch

Yep. Failure is no thing. If you haven't failed, you haven't pushed any limits.
If things don't work out, you can always return to where you were. Regret is a bitch, and one of life's emotional anchors.

God it's so painful, something that's so close yet still so far out of reach

This one would be a catch 22 because you regret not staying with the girl or you regret not taking the job.
