There are many things on my mind now.
Things that are happening to my friends,
to their families, or even in my life.
And they all boil down to one word - Regrets.
How many of us can safely say that we haven't regretted doing anything.
Or maybe for some, regretted not doing anything.
Regrets.
An unfortunate part of Life.
They say we should live without regrets.
But let's face it, no matter what you do, you're either going to regret doing it,
or not doing it.
I have done things I haven't been happy about.
Once in a while they come back, to try to get on my nerves.
But hey, that's a good thing, to a certain extent.
It goes to show that whatever you did isn't taken as a norm.
It serves as a reminded to remind us not to make the same mistakes again.
For many people living with regrets is a painful thing.
But somehow or rather, we all live with it.
Some handle it better than others,
some pretend it doesn't exist.
Some people can't call them regrets because they're doing it till today.
But what can we do with this regret?
Apart from leaving it in the past,
we have to learn to face it.
This means not telling any lies,
because just like Pinocchio, the lies will surface.
And just like him, it will be visible to people.
It will lead from one lie, to another, and another.
I don't really have an ending for this post.
I've just heard about something, and I felt that I needed to let it go somewhere.
I want whatever I am regretting, to be a lesson.
I know somethings are not reversible.
But let that not stop me, or you that is reading this.
Ever heard of the saying that if there is a will, there is a way?
It's true.
Things can only be as complicated or as easy you make it seem.
Well, God washes away our Sins.
Once we've confessed, we are forgiven.
But we must not revert back to what we were, or even what we did!
Be it scolding a vulgarity, or falling out with your parents.
A little late for a New year resolution,
but here goes mine:
"In the year 2012, I shall be the me without regrets, and the person who is not vicious with her words. One that will take the time to listen to those around me, And one that will not belittle any opportunity. Everyone is equal. And everyone deserves to be loved. I want to be someone that people will look up to. To be a faith bringer to those around me. And to be a determined fighter no matter how many times I might fall. And in everything, I want to give only my best."
