Most of the time we are curious about what might have been, especially if it's something that we wanted. Its very difficult to let those things go, as it often means giving up on something that we wanted and acknowledging the fact that its unlikely to ever happen now. Over time it will get easier and you will find other things that you are excited about that will override the thoughts of what could have been.
