When I was a kid of ten I sat myself down in front of a mirror and talked to myself. I spoke of what I want out of my life and what I was going to do about it, a map of sorts.

One of the things I told myself is to never do anything I would regret. I never thought I had while doing them, but in looking back, aYUP I do have regrets. So don't be rough on your self. Just keep moving.

I constantly have to fight off the thoughts of regret. I consciously tell myself that all the decisions I made in the past helped to form the person I am today, and that I love the person that I am. Except when I don't. Yes, since I can't go back I only have the choice to go forward and when I make the exact, same mistakes as in the past I know that I chose to do so for a reason.

Post again soon :)
