Recently i've been thinking a lot about regret. Not necessarily things that I regret, but more
why regret is such a big part of everyday life. It occured to me that so many times I overhear "omg, i regret doing that" or "i'll always regret (insert something here)" and it just got me thinking, what's the point? If you honestly think about it, regret is pointless. Things that we did or didn't do in the past are over and done with. There's nothing we can do to change it now, so why even bother talking about it? For a while I would say that I regret getting to know someone and catching feelings for them, but if you really think about it, at one point or another that person made me so happy. Why regret something that once made me happier than ever? I know that in some situations, for certain people, its understandable to regret. But, in a lot of cases its just a waste of time. & we all know that time is definitely of the essense. Who knows when our last day will be? More importantly why waste time regretting unimportant things when you could be enjoying life to the fullest? I don't want to be one of those old ladies who sits in a rocking chair talking about all the things i should've and shouldn't have done. I want to reminisce and be proud and happy about all the things that I accomplished, and if I didn't do something then its ok. I mean, i don't personally know any old women who sit around and talk about things they regret, but i'm just sayin'.
