I found this article at the right time. I'm currently feeling regret for things that haven't happened yet. Anticipating it. Which is really hard because it almost ruins the last moments of something before it's gone because I'm already anticipating missing it.
This is beautifully put. I often make myself pause to savour a moment and notice my contentment and love, such as during a normal moment with my son, so future me will know I didn’t waste this time. There are some things I absolutely refuse to have regrets about as I get older.
How timely! I've experienced several deaths recently of family friends, childhood friends parents who were important to me when I was young. I have talked about calling or visiting and put it off. So busy with other things and work and family. Now I have some regrets and a little shame next to it. I'm grateful to read these words this week. Thank you for them.
Oh wow, Jasmine. I really really really needed to hear this, just now. I am in a season of massive shifts, big losses and deep grief, an ongoing wave of it that at times feels like drinking from a firehose, and to worry about what I might regret after this time passes can make me feel frozen in the moment. Thank you for making this moment feel softer for me. I am so grateful.
i rmb the last time i made a dumb joke. it costed me a friendship and now i'm struggling to forgive myself for hurting a wonderful person. the big mistake i did is haunting me. i guess i'll have to carry this deep regret in my heart for a long time :((
