I used to say that I never wanted to regret anything in my life (even though there are a lot of things that I do regret). I'm sure mostly everyone feels this way, and I kind of feel like it's just a cop-out half the time. "Oh well, what's done is done and things didn't go my way, I should tell myself not to regret it so that I don't feel like crap every time I think about it" sort of thing.
But I digress. I think one of the things that I regret the most is not being able to hold onto some friendships that I've had. Sometimes they died because of irreconcilable differences, and sometimes I did something stupid and killed them. I was looking back at some pictures on Facebook from when I went on a trip with a few friends whom I'm not as close to anymore, unfortunately. Anytime I look back at those pictures I feel really happy, and I can see that I was really happy too back then. But it's a bittersweet happiness because I regret not having that anymore. I don't know if things would have turned out differently had the situation been different, or if this would have been the inevitable conclusion since I believe it was due to "irreconcilable differences".
That bittersweet feeling might also be due to the fact that I looked hella cute back then compared to now (probably because my happiness level plummeted thereafter).
I know, I'm shallow.

You are just as cute now as you were 10 years ago. Wait, I knew what you looked like 10 years ago? How damn old am I? :P LOL
ReplyDeleteI regret losing a few friendships. I think in my case I happened to be the one who didn't do enough to keep them going. I don't regret all of them, but there are a few which I would rather have had right now.
