I don't regret the things that I have done, but I only ever regret the things that I have not done or should have done.
Life seems to push & pull us in all sorts of different directions, to be something.. to be a somebody.. striving for money, for success, for happiness.. we live & dream so much into the future that we forget to live in the present moment. As I sit here and reminisce .. I realize that life is all but a gamble.. to give & take, and the sad part is that sometimes to achieve the things that you want .. you have to in turn give up & lose the things that means the most.
I wish I could turn back time, go back to a simpler day .. when I didnt have much, when I thought my life sucked. For now that I have grown and is seeing 'life' for what it really is.. I realized that way back then.. life was actually good. I may not have had it all, but I had such loving people in my life that truly loved & cared, that no one can ever replace.. And all the riches in the world could never buy the love that they had given me & the memories that was shared together through the ups & the downs.
My only regret.. is that I wish that had I in that moment in time.. told them just how much I loved them and how much they mean to me. That I appreciate all & everything that was done for me, & instead of sulking & wishing for something more.. I would have just said 'THANK YOU & I love you'. It's funny & ironic.. how I would give up everything that I have now, to just go back to when I had nothing & yet everything in the love of the people who mattered the most. Take it from me kids.. Appreciate what you have.. Open up your heart & your eyes and see things clearer for what they really are... don't take for granted what God has given you..
For one day you will wake up and realize just what you've had and one day it may not be there anymore. Tell the people who means the most, who have done the most for you just how much you appreciate and love them.. for I now know that one of the greatest pain in life is not regretting the things you have done or have said.. It's the regret of the things you should have said & done when you had the chance.
