- I regret not being strong enough to really stand up for myself when I was younger. Instead, I just accepted it, and then later took it out on everyone else.
- I should have cut the cords with certain people much earlier than I did. I should have gathered up the balls to do it when it mattered, not years later when the dust has long been settled.
- On the other hand, I really shouldn't have let certain other friendships fade away. These were people really worth knowing and really worth keeping around, and I let that slip out of my hands.
- Speaking of, I should have taken time to visit Theresa and see Jack. I really should have.
- Why didn't I make more trips down to Orlando, Palm Coast, or St. Augustine to keep up with people? I mean gas may be high, but I could have made the time and I had the money.
- I regret letting him back into my life over and over and over again, only to have him hurt me three years down the line. I should have gotten over Taylor much earlier than 2007. MUCH EARLIER.
- I regret scarring my own body to punish myself for the faults of others against me.
- I regret being ashamed of my body for so long. I love my body. I'm too sexy, too fresh, and too fabulous to be ashamed of myself.
- I do and don't regret starting my friendship with Lauren after so long. Sometimes I feel like it could have been earlier, but I think when it started made everything just right again.
- I regret trusting Amber instead of Erin. She ended up getting between me and my best friend, and no one should have the power to do that.
- I hate that I've dwelt on a million things I should have just let go. I keep trying to fix things that are truly broken, and I keep imagining the what-ifs that would have never ever worked.
I feel good. This, it felt really good. Saying them, makes me regret them a lot less. I can't fix them, right? Nah. I just needed to say them. As cliche as the saying is, it's really true. I'm gonna miss living my life if I continue dwelling on my regrets, mistakes, short-comings, etc. I just need to accept, make-do, and just live my life.
I think I'm gonna get into my jammies, get a bowl of coffee ice cream, and have a nice movie night to myself before taking my biology quiz.
Today, I really welcome the me-time.
me-time,
shoulda coulda woulda,
regrets
