If I had a wish
Sometimes I wish that I can start all over. I want to go back in that moment in time and change my life’s direction. Have you ever felt that? I know you have.
I keep saying that I don’t regret anything in my life. I live life with the philosophy that things happened and time to move on. However, it’s that feeling that maybe we missed something. Something happened and it shouldn’t have, and I could have controlled it. I wish I didn’t have that feeling, because I keep thinking it is not regret, but the big “if.”
I know I should be a bit more rational and realistic sometimes. I am known to be realistic, to the point and very blunt. But sometimes, my head is way out there. My imagination and feelings are far from reality. I think that’s the problem. I think that’s why I keep thinking that I missed something in the past that could have made my life different. I think that’s the weak point in one’s life where the unrealistic imaginative thoughts and actions cloud reality.
We have to be happy with what we have now and how things shaped up. However, that feeling of unsureness that pops out of no where makes you start questioning things that you should have long ago. So why now?
Is it that dim shadow of loneliness or that fear that things might get worse outlook? Is the future shaped on the past or can it be controlled and changed in direction when we want it to? I am not sure anymore. I learned to just accept things and live day by day, but when will I stop reiterating the phrase, “could have, should have, but didn’t” in my head?
Is this my way of admitting regret?
