The past is a funny thing...
They say not to have regrets, because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
Sounds nice, but I am not sure its logical.
I have quite a few regrets - too many guys, too many drinks, too much time, money, and emotion wasted on stupid, useless, forgotten things and people.
Darn.
Want to know something cool though? Despite all my regret, and the times I sit here and regret, I hope I can help somebody... anybody.
The kids at youth ask me questions about crazy things - cutting, sex, alcohol, you name it. One of the only good things about dabbling in these things myself is that when the kids talk about it, I can understand and tell them that truthfully. I can empathize with them, and be open so that they trust me. Same way with my younger siblings.
I just hope people learn from me. I just hope any kid, any youth, any of my siblings would look at the things I regret and make it a learning experience, so they don't have the same regret.
Tonight, that above all else is my prayer.
this made me smile and it was exactly what i needed tonight. :)
