I too was raised to think about the future and rebelled preferring to think more in the present in my teens. That led to a couple of things I wish I'd done and are things i can't go back and do now but I don't do regrets either because I feel like they're a waste of energy plus I figure certain things have to fall into place in certain ways sometimes.
Now I'm all about focusing on the future especially as I'm dealing with an injury and healing etc. But I still make sure to enjoy the present too.
