I wish a lot of things in my life had gone differently. Looking back I see parts where I was over-cautious, where I didn’t act. If I could replay those events then maybe I would have a shot. That said even if I had played my hand differently, things could have ended up how they are now.
I don’t know.
During my school-boy years there was this person I liked. I used to talk to them to some extent - and I did plan to ask them out. Yet I never really did. I made excuses as to why I didn’t take a perfectly good opportunity. Nowadays I have basically lost all communication with said person. Except for rare occasions - one such rare occasion is what has brought about this whole discussion.
See this person is now happily in a relationship (you just have to love surprises…). Before the event I was thinking to myself ‘ah it will be good to see so and so again’ - and it was. Still… I found myself just wishing… wishing it was different.
Ah well.
Say what you will about multiple personalities, but they are pretty handy from time to time.
Are you suggesting I somehow re-forge myself to have multiple personalities? It might be fun.
Trying to think of another cliche quote about regrets and looking to the future. Hmm
“Screw regrets, look to the future”. That will have to do :p
