i USED TO have thoughts like that before.... then i realized that it doesnt do anything to benefit me to keep thoughts like that in my head. as cliche as it may sound, i truly believe everything has happened for a reason and will happen for a reason. just too bad for me if i dont know what that reason is at the time.
also, if i were actually able to go back in time and change something, i would not be where i am now, and i dont want to be anywhere else than where i am right now. im sure if things happened a different way the first time around, then i would probably still have the same belief that i wouldnt want things any different. but that didnt happen. so theres no point in thinking that.
regrets =/= mistakes.
i know ive made tons of mistakes. but i learn from them. it doesnt mean i regret them happening. for all anyone knows, maybe i wouldve never learned if i never made those mistakes. therefore, whatever gets thrown my way in life, i have no choice but to accept things and make the best of what i can.
