Flashback Ending Explained: What Was The Final Choice?

Did Fred Make The Right Choice In Flashback?

In Flashback, Fred experiences multiple choices. He first experiences the life that kind of feels forced upon him–with Karen, his job, and his dying mom. He then gets to experience a life with Cindy where he becomes an artist, sees the world, and allows Merc to destroy the concept of linear time.
