If you could be a number.

Regrets. What is “regret”? It’s one of the many emotions humas go through. Regret is a negative conscious and emotional reaction to personal past acts and behaviours. Regret is often related to the feeling of sadness, shame, embarrassment, depression, annoyance, or simply- guilt.

I’m pretty sure everyone at one point or anything has gone through the feeling of regret. Regret in my opinion is one of the worst emotions of them all. The feeling of wishing, wanting, hoping to be able to go back into time to undo a mistake which obviously is inevitable.

Like every other thing in life, regret comes in all sizes. The bigger the mistake you have done, well, the bigger your regret. Regrets are usually only triggered once your mistake is over and done with. When that glass that once used to be whole shatters into million pieces. When suddenly all you can think of was that second, minute, hour- that moment that you decided to do something that you’d regret for the rest of your life. With every heart beat and ever step you take the guilt and misery is reminded.

Now when the regret is that big, this is when the poor troubled teen decides to cut the misery short by using the oldest solution in the book. –Committing suicide.

Now, we don’t want that now do we folks?

So how does one overcome this sad emotion? How does one win the battle with regret?

Well first things first. You have to forgive yourself and make amends. Assure yourself that you have learned from the mistake and won’t be stupid enough to repeat history. Second thing, you have to be willing to accept the circumstances. Avoid blaming others but rather take the responsibility for anything that you could have handled. Now next, you have to deal with toxic relationships. Sometimes other people are the cause of us to be in such depth of regret. So patch things up and once again, learn to forgive. Lastly, you have to grieve for your regrets. When we feel regret, we re-live the guilt, sadness or anger over and over again. Allowing ourselves to experience these feelings fully with the intention of moving forward can help us revisiting them.

Regret. Once again, like every other thing in life, it can be beaten. All you need is a little guidance, acceptance and will power.

Fuck, i wish it was that easy.
