Hello Argo, I end up on your site every once in a while. I appreciate how you write. That doesn't mean I agree with everything, but your topics certainly are stimulating. I also think that there is a lot of experience in what you say. I will show you how these same topics stimulate me. And maybe I did not express it in the same way before, so I thank you for this opportunity.

There are other ways to say expectation, like interpretation or belief. I believe it is so, because this is how in interpret it from my experience, and therefore I expect that it will "turn-out" this way again.
Of course what we expect, or think, or do now, are creating the future as we go. If we are doing the same thing that we did yesterday, (default doing), then tomorrow will be a replica of today, (or last year). Are we stuck?
Is expectation different from "reality"? Well, "un-manipulated reality" wouldn't turn out this way, but we are in a virtual reality of sorts, which is our society, and certain things can come to pass within our system, that were unheard of before our system came into being.
Some decisions have repercussions, like buying a house makes you less mobile, marriage creates a "WE" that you now get to enjoy and also have to contend with. Starting a business, well, that probably absorbs all of your "free-time". But not doing those things, or postponing them, also creates another type of lifestyle, that may be no less satisfying and rewarding. It is not "either/or". I chose this major in college and that sets me out on this career path. You can always say darn; "I COULD HAVE BEEN A DOCTOR!" Well, you would have found your reasons not to like it. I don't call it a mistake.
You Talk About Time
Move now in order to achieve something? I would say that moving doesn't get you anywhere unless you are moving on a perceived opportunity. To be able to say YES to a good chance to make a difference, in your, and other people's lives is something to develop. So you should start with small, manageable things. If there is the temptation of too much to do, that is where you need focus, and focus is another thing to start small, and build up the capacity.
Clearly; thinking that you have to try every new thing is a massive susceptibility to someone else's marketing. That you can discard pretty quickly. Life can be a natural unfolding and it leads only to certain experiences. That is the beauty of being the individual that you are. Why emulate someone else?
Multi tasking and all that. If you give half-energy to your endeavors, you get half rewards out of them. (Or maybe NOTHING.)
You talk about regrets WHY?
It depends on your model. If the world is a "Thing", you could capture it in it's entirety. If the world is a process, THERE IS NO ENTIRETY.
If you want to see places change, study ancient history. It is mind-blowing. There are plenty of mistakes, and mankind is repeating all of them. Somebody must be getting something out of it?
Lose-ends: There has to be, unless you stop activity way before you depart. I choose to fully use every moment of life. I'll have more lose-ends than I have ever had at any time in the past.
You talk about feelings as if they are a part of your identity.
I think that they are directly linked to your "expectations". When perception conforms to expectation you feel good. When perceptions are confounding your expectations you feel bad. So I say you don't just "feel how you feel". Will you change your expectations?? If you do you can be relieved.
If you know the link between your story about things, and then how it turns out, (what you are calling "facts"), you can start to grasp hold of how it all turns out. One step at a time. I am saying that facts and feelings are so interconnected, but they have the link of expectation in the middle. Identifying with feelings (of today), is usually a risk of disappointment. They are not you, even though you are creating them.
I think rich people are very "calculating", not just governed by feelings or whims, because for them the most fun is playing the game called "capitalism". They are honing there "expertise".
