they say that a life lived without any regrets is a life half lived.
but for me I don't feel quite the same way.
Maybe it's my upbringing - that acceptance I am responsible for every action I take and with responsibility comes acceptance of outcomes.
I accept everything that has happened as happened is set, you can only change your viewpoint on it. And to a certain extent I have complicit faith in fate and believe certain cogs and wheels will set in motion designs that I may or may not have dreamed of.
Sometimes things happen to make you take stock.
This weekend was supposed to be 'the' weekend, my one shiny day I get in all my life. THE DAY. I am a little sad, but really I am relieved, no-one's life should be pinned down to one little custom to define their most blissful. I have had and will have far more many days that will overshadow and date of promises.
I got a message from a good friends about an old friends of ours, whom I lost touch with. His German girlfriend died while eating bread, she choked to death. Now distant from his roots he has to deal with his unexpected loss.
So taking stock and looking back, yeah there have been some shite times, but they helped build me and take me to this point in time and I look around me and see I believe in having the time of my life all the time. I am on the road to where I need to be. And maybe I haven't reached my pinnacle of bliss yet.
but I could die today and not regret a thing.
