Regret is the feeling I hate the most. Not only all the things i never did but also all of the things i never will do. It is quite a sad and negative feeling, always making me feel a hole in my heart with regret of my regrets. It makes me wonder what could have been and what never will be, as well as if I am happy with how my life turned out or if I have regrets of never doing something that could have changed my life.

Things left unsaid, hobbies left untried and friends left in the past. I regret and yearn for everything I never did. I miss everything I could have had and I regret the opportunities I did not take. “You miss every shot you don't take,” they say, and now I will try to live by it. Because I know that if I don't, my whole life might simply pass by me without being fully lived.

In the near future, well from now on actually, i will take every opportunity that presents themselves because they often only come once. It is like when you are waiting for the bus and one passes but it isn't the one you are looking for so it goes and another few buses pass yet you still do not enter, but later after checking the bus schedule you regret not having taken the first one. It might not be the best analogy and I apologize for my bus trauma, but in a way, this is how I perceive life. You are on this earth to live and experience, yet you cannot wait to live and experience, you have to put yourself out there. Stop waiting for people to make plans, make them yourself. Stop waiting for the perfect job opportunity to come, try and see what you like and you might be pleasantly surprised. Talk to that cool person in the street, ask the waiter what the name of the wine is, put yourself out there. Since at the end of the day, it is your life, not someone else’s, so if you don't spend it doing what you like and trying new things then nobody will do it for you. Explore, talk, learn but most importantly: hold no regret. Try everything you want to try because if you don’t, you might just regret it when the opportunity passed you. Don’t live with that hole in your chest.
