There are a lot of things I regret. During yoga practices at the beginning of last year, my mantra was "No regrets, no regrets, no regrets." Whether or not it helped is a whole other deal, but oh well.
Mostly I regret not going away to college when I should have. Staying in Bloomington and hanging out with my high school friends and continuing a relationship with my high school boyfriend was the worst thing I could've done for myself. I got stuck in a rut. The allure of half price tuition was too much for me, and I knew (and still maintain) that if I were to be anywhere in Indiana, it was going to be Bloomington. Nonetheless, wow did I ever land myself in a horrible mental space. I got scared to go anywhere, and traveled deeper and deeper into a social scene that was only hurtful.
There is more. But I think it's too personal right now, and it stresses me out just to think about it.
No regrets, right? You learn a lesson from everything.
By the bye, the beach was totally amazing, and I'm horribly depressed to be back in the real world.
