Holding Onto Regret

I wanted to hold onto you,
I wanted to push you away.
Guess I wasn't sure of what
I needed back then.

The desire to hold and
The desire to toss aside were
Warring inside of me,
Wrecking havoc in my heart.

Since I was indecisive and insecure,
Since my dishonesty towards
You and I got the best of me,
My actions took it upon
Themselves to decide in my stead.

The distance created was so big
That it was pointless to try to
Return to what it used to be,
To what we were before.

It's too late and it's too bad
Things turned out the way they did,
But life goes on, not caring about
Our woes.

We Live, We Learn.

There is no point holding onto regrets and past mistakes. We make them, we atone for them in some way eventually.
That doesn't mean we don't deserve to be happy.

Time is a valuable thing that we often waste on unimportant things. Then we look at our family, our friends and think how much they made this life bearable. And how hard it will be once they're gone. So we should really appreciate them more, even when we don't exactly see eye to eye.

And no, I'm not talking about the kind of anger that requires taking anger management classes. I'm talking about the kind of anger caused by hurt feelings, misunderstandings, the feeling of betrayal, you name it. Letting go of it takes time and effort, but it's not impossible to be rid of it.

We all need a cup or two (or three, or four...no judgement there!) to start our day off and to keep our head from droping on the first flat surface it comes close to. Yeah, you guessed it- it's coffee! Of course, not everyone likes its bitter and strong taste, but that's perfectly fine too.

Dreams are a funny thing. Our subconscious either tries telling us something through images it sends us throughout the night or is just spamming us. Only time will tell which one is it. Until then, dream on and keep wondering what and why are you dreaming certain things frequently.

This is a response to "Word Prompts Help Creativity / Week 21" by Brenda Arledge. This week's word prompt is "Age". Personally, the older I got, the less I understood the stigma around certain number of years. You can enjoy your life no matter what your ID might say.

Okay sooo...this is something that DID happen to me a few years ago. It also involves a guy from college I found cute at the time. We weren't close, just basic "Hi", "How did you do on your exam?", etc. level of communication. Nothing special.
