Do you have any regrets? – Blog Project Day 27

Plenty

I’ve heard many people proclaim, “I have no regrets.” I think they’re lying. Because when this declaration is made you can see in their eyes that they aren’t saying they’ve never done anything regrettable, just that they are choosing not to let that regret affect their lives. I don’t think its an entirely conscious decision they make, to lie about regrets, maybe more of a defense. But at the base I think the intentions are good. We can’t let our lives get caught up in our mistakes.

But not acknowledging our pitfalls and our shortcomings is a no-no. We need to learn and better ourselves from the times we mess up. A large portion of our character is built from those times when we have to face something we have screwed up.

So yes I have regrets, and what I’ve learned from them is a large part of who I am.
