the road not taken represents choices and opportunities in life and highlights the sensation of regret that accompanies all the roads that a person doesn’t take.
the road not taken can refer to many things. whether it’s a college you chose over one you already got accepted into, hanging out with friends instead of staying home, doing that school assignment or not, or appreciating the things around you or taking them for granted. it just means you missed out on opportunities that could have occurred if you did something else than what you already chose.
