I have a lot of regrets in life. Breaking up with my first (and only) boyfriend, not taking a chance and not making a move on a certain boy in my life and therefore always wondering what if and having my secret feelings wedge us apart, wearing ugly leggings in elementary school, not going to my uncle's funeral, not applying for Columbia or

staying in the day

I struggle with letting go of the past also. When I think about it, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never get here. It probably will, but I don't know that for sure. All I have is this moment. Instead of staying in my head, I look around and enjoy the moment for what it is. I try and stay positive and when negative thoughts creep into my head, I chase them out again. If I do this consistently, it changes my thought patterns. It really works!

I love you, really I do.

I think that you accept the life that you have made when you would want it to be different by looking at all the good that is in your life. I know that we've talked about grad school and you going on to grad school and honestly that is still a possibility for you, maybe not today, or tomorrow or anytime immediate, but you still have the power to change your life into something that you want. Babe, we all have regrets to some extent or another, but all we can do is learn from the choices that we've made and know how they've changed us into a better person or into a not so better person. Trust me, the last few weeks I've been reflecting a lot on the decisions that I regret making and how hugely those decisions changed me. I don't know what all to tell you and I really wish we could just cuddle and eat popcorn and watch movies like we usually do, but I know that you have the ability to change your life and that you are a strong women capable of anything.

Thanks for your thoughts, but what I was talking about is that I feel helpless because there isn't anything I can do and that that is the worst regret because you can't even imagine what If because what If isn't even in the realm of fantasy or hope or dreams.
