They say never regret....

The other day I got to thinking about when some people are asked, "what is your biggest regret" and their response (much like mine used to be) is "I don't live my life with regret".

I don't believe that to be true for myself or anyone anymore. I can't believe that we have it in us to never regret anything.

Walk with me, will you?

By definition::
1.to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.)
2.to think of with a sense of loss: to regret one's vanished youth.

I think about times when I was angry and I either scribed or said words that today I don't mean.

I regret.

I think about times that I knew I should have done one thing or the other and it would have prevented hurt or disappointment and I did nothing.

I regret.

I think about times that I thought I was the coolest thing on the block. I seriously thought I was the uh....big deal. (to keep it G rated) Because I was full of so much pride and so blind, I acted horrible with people that were being kind.

I regret.

I could have a list that goes for days on things that started flowing out of my memory's bank of things I am neither proud of or wish happened.

I don't know...for people who are still living their life with a "no regrets" mentality, I would challenge that. I don't believe anyone who has any human conscience for their fellow man can live with "no regret".

Just my three cents...

PS
I found this photo and I thought it was so cute...in a sad-cute kindof way. (if that even makes sense)


I thought it completely put into a photo "regret"
