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.

doesnt mean you dont regret doing something. you do something, the outcome sucks, you say "damn i wish i hadnt done that"
or, you fail do something and say "i should've done that when i had the chance"
