Day 19 - Something you regret, in great detail
I do my best not to look back with regret on events. It makes life that much easier to live when I don't take the time to worry about all the what if's. It is hard to do completely though. I suppose something I regret is not opening myself up to communicating with people sooner. Not taking more advantage of being in an environment where I have people around me and communicating with them and making friends. I don't know if school could have been much different for me than it was, but I'm thinking if I'd just opened up a bit more, let the walls down a little more or was more secure in myself that I may have been able to make some more long lasting friends.
It may not be so much that I didn't make those friends as I wasn't in the right place to really care about them... to care about their lives and really get to know them and keep them in my life. I suppose what I REALLY regret is not keeping up with the people that I had in my life and letting them slip away. Distances seem a lot further when you're younger but if I'd put up the fight to keep in contact with people then perhaps those distances wouldn't seem so far.
