Okay so sometimes, even the best of us make rash decisions - bad decisions. Decisions we pretty much know we're gonna regret the moment, the minute - especially the morning after. I mean, maybe not "regret" regret because at least, you know, we put ourselves out there but still, something inside us decides to do a crazy thing. A thing we know will probably turn around and bite us in the ass yet we do it anyway. What I'm saying is; we reap what we sow. What comes around goes around. It's karma and, any way you slice it, karma sucks.


I had a benign chat with an ex, 'R'. No, don't blanched at me with that look. It was a meaningful chat that allowed many unanswered questions to surface. I'm glad the chat happened as it brought relief, understanding and place my thoughts in a better perspective, (that not only applied to this situation, but something else as well) to say the least.

"I know I screwed things up for us. You were always there for me and did everything right.. You were there when I had no one. Despite how much I seemed to always screw up, you had my back. I shouldn't have let you slip away. If i could go back and do it all over again...it would be different, alot different. My spot is and always be there for you. Hence my feelings of regret" .... "R" said.

Regrets happen after realizing that you've lost something that meant dearly to you. The feeling of anguish diminishes the physical hurt. It opens up wounds that we tried to fix but some wounds are deeper than they first appear and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip off the band-aid, let them breathe, and give them time to heal.

Regret, I am sick and tired of hearing the word "regret". The thing is, before we feel the after-feeling of guilt call "regret", we already know subconsciously that we will regret the actions that we're doing now. But we choose to see it through. Making bad decisions. Hurting those dearest to us.

So before we start to regret about our actions,be it one that already occurred in the past or the ones that you are about to do now, there's something I should say.

If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it's this - when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. Because the best things in life, they don't come free.


And regrets will only hinder that one more shot. So stop regretting and do something. We can change the bad decisions then, to a better one, now. Start fighting back like a warrior.
