I've always been one to say that you should never regret anything. At least, that used to be my opinion on things. Over the past couple of years I've realized that regret is going to happen. It's a natural feeling to regret things. It could be something you did or something you didn't do. Either way, everyone feels regret at some point in their lives. Its ture I tried to live without regret. Part of me still feels as though regret is meaningless. Because if I didn't do something, but it was supposed to get done, then it will eventually get done. Call it fate or destiny or whatever else you want. I've always thought, why regret something if it may still happen? As I said above my opinion has changed though. I've begun to realize that regret can end up helping you, maybe even teach you something. It's kind of like learning from the past. If you didn't do something, you may regret it, but when that situation comes up again, you'll know to do it. I realize that not everyone will learn from their regrets, or some may not pay attention to them, but for some it may work. Hopefully for me it will. Now I honestly can say I haven't had much regret in my life. Sure there are some things I wish I had done. Other things I wish I hadn't done. I know that in the years to come I will be put into many situations that may end up with me regretting something. What I have to keep telling myself is that if it's meant to happen it will. Part of me believes that when you feel regret, that's how you know it will come back around or happen again. At least, that's what I'm hoping these days. I'm hoping this regret means I'll have a second chance. Life, and by that I mean fate or destiny, hasn't given me many second chances. Maybe this time.
