Absolutely no regrets... none whatsoever?
After all is said and done, in the end of a messy situation, people always say that they had no regrets. Sure, at the time they might have said “this is the worst day of my life”, or my favorite, “Why me??”, but when they manage to move past the “worst”, it becomes easier to say “Had this not happened, I wouldn’t be the stronger person I am today”. I’m trying to decide whether this cliche is worth stating after you’ve hit a miserable episode. I would much rather avoid the situation overall, than having to say this. Everyone would argue that making mistakes is how you learn, but what about preventing the mistake and seeing how no problem unfolds... couldn’t we learn just as much? I admire people who are able to move on from their problems and see it as a lesson learned. At the same time, I can’t help but wonder if anyone truly feels otherwise? Just thinking about past problems I have ever encountered, makes my gut reminisce the same feelings. The only reason why I am still standing is because I choose to forget. The fact that I had learned from my mistakes doesn’t take away guilt trips I have felt before. So what’s more painful? The actual moment where you are facing the issue-and that's it, or is there the aftermath, when you have to cover up your mistake with the belief that you had no regrets?
