No Regrets!

I know it might sound strange, but I think I’ve finally found peace with my life. I always thought that as you get older, you’d look back and wish you’d done things differently or made other choices. It was something I always heard from my family—everyone had regrets about their lives. For a long time, I didn’t understand why. I figured it was just part of growing up. You do your best, and when things don’t work out, you think about what you could’ve done differently. But I always wondered: What could be so bad that you’d want to go back in time to change it?

Now, with age, I’ve realized that sometimes you do make bad choices, and they change things forever. But the funny thing is, if I hadn’t made those choices, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

It would be a shame not to be me. Honestly, I think I’m pretty great (not to toot my own horn or anything, but toot toot). 😜

Every mistake, bad decision, and crazy moment has led me to where I am now. I can honestly say there are things I’ll never do again, even if they were fun at the time. I’ll admit, I’ve done some stupid things and let myself be knocked down. But that’s life, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I learned from every experience and came out stronger in the end.

Twenty-six years go by fast, and life’s not always easy, especially when things aren’t going well. But you just put a smile on your face and keep pushing through the fire. It gets better with time, and I’m looking forward to making more mistakes in the next twenty years. I hope they’re as fun as the ones I’ve made so far!

No regrets, just LIFE.

  2. Regrets are only burdens...learn from your mistakes and be grateful for where you are, that's the best way to be honestly. (or at least in my opinion.)
    I'm proud of you-it's not an easy thing to say or feel that way, and it takes a long time to get that point...but so many people never do. I'm proud of ya! :)
