Regrets: lessons

Not saying hello to that person seeking attention, then I hear they've committed suicide.

All those days my dog wanted to play and cuddle and I acted as if I hadn't time for him and now he's gone.

The things I needed to say but never got the chance to because I was always too stubborn to swallow my pride and just do it.

Not being loyal and losing someone dear to me because of it.

Not spending time with my dad when I was younger, he missed my entire childhood....

All of these things I cannot change, I cannot undo or redo, I cannot fix. But they all have made me into the person I am, the pain of life shapes us in unbelievably harsh ways to see if we will give up or thrive as warriors.
