Day Three Hundred and Thirty:  Regret

I assume that everyone thinks about this.  Thinks about things they would change if they could go back in time, things they would or would not have done or said, things they regret not doing, opportunities lost, chances taken and fallen, and the biggest thing about ‘regret’ is that we are taught not to.  I think this concept is bullshit.

Not the concept of regret, but being told to live “without regrets.”  Mistakes are great, but I believe in taking a chance and regretting it rather than regretting not having taken that chance.  Maybe regret is something we need to feel to understand the weight of our decisions and truly understand and learn from our mistakes.  The thing about regrets is we must learn from them, and not dwell on them.  I am making a motion to move on from my regrets and learn from them.  It’s proving to be difficult.

But, what I wanted to really say here is that humans make mistakes.  As much as you think other people are perfect, and a lot of people give off the attitude that they never make mistakes they do, they do.  People make mistakes, and you should never be hard on yourself for it.
