MY REGRET

HAVE YOU EVER REGRETTED ANYTHING IN LIFE?

LET'S be honest a little, i believe each person may have tasted regret at some point in life. Even if it was just a tiny feeling after a minor or crucial incident that cannot be easily waved off. Some manage to conquer the feeling with time and some just cannot but rather carry the weight through life and it weighs them down daily. The bottom line is, we all have an individual idea of what it costs to experience regret.

 Let me share with you one of my own.

MY REGRET

Why did I attend that event? Why did I even talk to you?
At the verge of cursing the day I met you
Warm memories gashed through my mind
Rushing through my heart
I smiled
Yet 
I regret meeting you.

Did I not enjoy your company?
 We made endless promises to each other
Holding hands, sharing secrets in the park, strolling by the sea
Were you not my friend?
Yet 
I regret meeting you.

It’s funny how I used to carry you in my heart all day
Reminiscing about our little giggling moments
I remember one day,
I could not contain the well that flooded within me, uncontrollably missing you
But
I drained it all out of my mind because
I regret knowing you.

You violated my peace, you disrupted my flow
You smooth talked my heart into you,
Before I knew it,
My heart sang love songs to you without my permission.
You sprain my love muscle and dislocated my resistance bone.
Why did I let you?
I taught myself to trust you
But
You disappointed me.


(The expressions of my heart)


Sure, I have tasted regrets before, some I can talk about publicly and some I can’t for now. Some of those events have turned into my testimonies which I can’t regret any more. Life is indeed a mystery isn’t it?  Most of the time what we experience seems as though it will last a lifetime but as time goes by we heal and realize they were only temporary.
RELIEF!!!

I chose to live a life that conquers the weight of regret by focusing on the future and meditating on the positive things I have done.

I realized that all regrets come from the past not the future, I can’t regret what I haven’t done right?
Therefore, why should you hold on to something you cannot reverse?

Veronica Robbins says “Holding onto regrets just makes them last; it gives them a life far beyond what they deserve.” On her blog that says “A Writer’s Journal”


 I have learned that it takes a lot of energy to hold on to regrets than it actually does to Let GO..! 

WHAT REGRETS ARE YOU HOLDING ON TO?

    With life and the choices you make sometimes,regret follows! Even I have had my fair share of regret but it came to a point where I asked myself 'what's the point,its in the past" and life is there to teach us lessons,yea we may regret some things but regret takes up a lot of energy!....love your blog sphoky,keep it up!

    Indeed to finally make that step towards moving on, one is to decide and press on towards the future and never look back... Thanks Vuyo.
