Regrets

Whenever I think about the word regrets my mind goes back to summer camp one year, when it was all about living life with "no regrets"

Recently I have had a few close friends talk about having regrets, and that makes me think, think about whether or not I have "regrets".

Sure there are things I could have done differently, but had I done them differently, I wouldn't exactly be who I am right now. All of my choices and consequences have made me who I am. And I definitely don't regret that!

Also I feel like if I hang on to those things i may have regretful feelings towards that, that it will make me bitter. And bitter is something I would like to stay far away from. it just brings so much negativity in and pity and low self esteem.

I accept all the things I have done. And I am okay with it. I have been forgiven. the price has been paid. And that I accept WHOLE-heartedly.
