REGRETS!

Have you ever looked back on your life and regretted something that you know you can never change? We all at one point or other, have at least one regret that we wish we could go back and do over, fix, undo, or use better judgment with. It does not matter how small or how great the regret is, in the end it affects us deeply in so many ways. In some ways our regrets affect others around us, in that we lose our gusto or ability carry on with certain things that will remind us of them and that other person can’t ever begin to understand.


I have made my share of regrets in life, some that I feel I can never run to far from, because there will always be someone there no matter how hard I try to change or undo the wrong that will remind me of my errors. Some I push in the back of my heart hoping that one day I will have the strength to face them, and some that I choose to forget about. I am sure I am not alone in my thinking, that there are many people out there with regrets that most people call skeletons that they throw deep in the back closet of their minds. We cry in the quiet nights alone, or walk somewhere in solitude thinking them over in our minds trying to teach ourselves lessons from them, and yes, we try like hell to forget them.

No matter or error, or regret, one thing is certain, we become better people from them providing we learn lessons and not repeat them. Some day, I hope that my only regrets that will exist deep in my mind is that I have not loved more, laughed more often, or gave more of my heart to those less fortunate than myself, and lived better. Regrets, sure we all have them, but let’s make them good regrets that in the end others will learn from and that we can look back without sadness in our hearts!
