Howdy,
So tonight, I thought we could discuss the issue of "Regret". Let's play a little of Would you rather. Now, Would you rather regret not doing something that you wanted to, or would you rather doing it and the out come whatever it may be.
Personally, I would hate to regret wanting to do something and not doing it. For whatever reason. I think it would be a whole lot easier to live with whatever out come opposed to not doing it and wishin' I had.
What does regret mean to you? When you think regret what comes to mind? Or what do you feel?
When I hear regret I get a guilty feeling. I don't know of what. But, that's because I think that everything happens for a reason.
By Websters definition: Regret;Verb- 1:Sorrow aroused by circumstances beyond one's control or power to repair 2 a: An expression of distressing emotion
So, by that definition I can identify with the second one. Do you think that regret can be a powerful feeling? Or result of an event? There are times that I say things and I think to myself, "Why did I just say that?", or "Couldn't I have said it differently?"
I guess those are regrets. I know that we've all been there when we say things and just wished that we kept our mouth shut. It was an unnecessary comment or reaction to a situation. Simple things like that, and you're kicking yourself for sticking your foot in your mouth. Ever had a time where you did something, Woke up the next morning going, "Oh crap, I can't believe I just did that."
There's been a few times that I've done that. But, you know what I find funny. That old saying, Time heals all wounds. I find this one to be true, as time passes I see that things aren't as bad as I had once thought. And with time everything seems to fall into place. There is a time when you think that things couldn't get worse and then they do and one day things just do a 360 and all of the sudden you can breath again and nothing is as bad as it seemed.
Is that regret? I still can not figure it out. Does everyone experience it in there own way?
I think so. Or something to that effect anyway.
There goes my mind again. Well ladies, It's getting late, Which means it is Jak's time to wrap up and wind down.
This cowboy is hanging up her hat for the evening, Which one of you cowgirls wants to accompany me? =]
That's right.
Well folks, Take it easy. Take care.
This is Jak signing off.
Goodbye and Goodnight.
Love Always,
Jak.
