Weight of regret

One habit I've been trying to build is refusing to live with regret. Life is too short to spend years replaying decisions that once felt right but later turned out to be wrong. At the time we make a choice, we do it with the knowledge, experience, and understanding we have at that moment. Looking back with today's wisdom and judging yesterday's self isn't always fair. I've realized that a wrong decision isn't always a wasted decision. If it teaches you something valuable, then it has already given you something that success alone often cannot: a lesson. The things we lose can sometimes be recovered. Money can be earned again. Opportunities may return in different forms. But the lessons we learn stay with us for the rest of our lives, quietly shaping the person we become. What's done cannot be changed. The past is beyond our control. What is still in our hands is how we respond. We can let regret keep us frozen, or we can ask ourselves a better question: "What do I do next?" Moving forward doesn't erase the past, but it gives meaning to it. Sometimes the best way to honor a mistake is not by regretting it forever, but by becoming wiser because of it. Throughout life we’ll of course regret a bunch of things. Something we said, something we did, ain’t no escaping that sure. But like, cmon, chewing on something that happened years ago that no one remembers is something I’m sure most people can relate to, and something that everyone dislikes doing. Regarding this, I believe the best course of action would be to accept you won’t forget that, it’s part of your story as a human, but trying to accept the past makes it easier. I know that. I’ve been there. That’s all for today. The blog is getting big and healthy! : ) See you tomorrow.

Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com Everyone changes  Growth in your bones  Understanding life takes time  To blossom in flowers  Your flower is your development Having to learn a lesson  To change who you are  Wanting something so bad  But knowing that it will take time  To find that love one  God knows your story  So try to live up every moment  You know everyone loves you You need to love yourself  Let yourself change  Become someone who is better  Than the previous one  Understand life is one step closer  So don’t like anything stop  From becoming a flower of your former self  Bloom into something else  Entirely. Note from H. Tayrone: I don't write poems but that looks like something I myself would write! See you tomorrow with something new! Cool infos from the sid...

Pieces from the past

 Today's post is brought by: mayi – Medium Go check more of their work and come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com We haven’t spoken since that last time, which is honestly impressive considering how committed the universe has been to arranging near-misses. We grew up together, knew the same people, lived in the same circles, and even after ending up hundreds of miles apart, there’s always someone who knows you, knows me, or knows someone who knows both of us. At this point, I’m starting to suspect we’re just poorly written recurring characters. I have my own life now and so do you. There are new people, new routines, new problems, and presumably better things to think about. There is absolutely no practical reason for either of us to be thinking about the other. Which is why, every once in a while, I consider deleting that playlist. You know the one. The playlist I made entirely of songs you int...

Don't overcomplicate

Today's post is brought by: H. Tayrone Come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com I had a realization these days and it genuinely made my work and many other aspects of my life easier. Maybe things aren’t as complicated as they seem. Perhaps you had that feeling too before. I noticed that if I stop thinking of things as a really complicated puzzle I manage to make more progress. Seriously, for so long I asked myself what people do that I’m not doing.  Why do some things just come to people so easily when it is so "complicated" to get the thing? These “things” tend to be building projects, behaving certain ways, or just achieving something. And I believe for the longest time I over complicated all that. Everything had to be thought out for it to work to the point I felt like there was something wrong with me because I was trying so hard to make it work and other people didn’t seem to try an...
