My whole life I've learned from my parents not to regret anything. Shit happens, and we must deal with it. My best friend even told me he never regrets anything. I got the whole 'shit happens' quote, but in the end I always regretted something. Whether it be cutting my bangs too short or keeping a deep and dark secret, regret always flooded me. If my body was life, then the nerves would be regret. Regret is connected to everything, good or bad. We will all feel it sometimes, no matter what. Well, that's what I thought. I would do anything to go back in time to a year and a half ago. Now when I think of it, going back in time is just cowardice. Cowardice because I can't fix my problems now and want time to erase them all. Of course it hurts; regret does that to you. I'm trying not to let it take over my life, but that will take some time. I've learned from mistakes and regret helped me with that. So no matter what anyone says, I will live parts of my life in regret. This is what helps me to move on and make sure I don't make the same mistake twice. Regret is not my enemy, but my dear friend.
