Every experience, every choice, everything that you do makes you who you are. Did you make a bad choice? no worries.. it made you who you are and hopefully you learned your lesson. Did you smile back at that cute person who smiled at you? That is amazing! Why not smile back? Doesn't matter if it goes further. It made you feel good. Life is nothing but a bunch of choices and experiences. You can make the most and learn from everything you do and experience, good or bad. Or you can dwell and be negative and regret everything, run though every choices and wonder what if? What if... is that your life would be COMPLETELY different. You would not be you. You would not be where you are. Now if you look and say, " I am a sucky person I regret xyz" Ok then go ahead regret, but then move forward. Know that you can become a better person if you want. You just have to want it.
I recently had an old friend say,"I sometimes wonder what would have happened had I waited for you" My response was simple. " You and I would never have worked back then. We were different people. I am who i am today because we took different paths. And never regret, you have two amazing children due to your path." I meant that. I am a completely different person than I was at 15, 20, 25 and even 30. (Now I am aging myself) But truly, I have learned from each experience. I have experienced so much and seen so much. I am such a better person because of my experiences. People ask me if I regretted getting engaged to Goober. And no I do not. He taught me to realize how strong I am. I am so much stronger than I ever thought I was. He taught me communication is sooooo important in any relationship. He taught me that I know I can make it through the teen years through dealing with him. He helped make me the happy person I am today, because I did not want to be that grumpy person he was. I did not want that life. So no I do not regret that. Every long relationship I have had, has taught me something. I am a better because of them. I know who I am and what I want. So do not regret, learn, embrace and become the best you because of those experiences!
Love this!
