To answer my Friday Question of Amazingness:
- I would prefer a smile from the boy I like. Flowers from a stranger? Mysterious and all, but it's kind of creepy. I mean, I would be a little worried, and that worried feeling wouldn't go away, because it's a secret person who might continue to do secret things. Eek! Plus the boy I like has a smile that stops me in my tracks!
- Um regrets? ONE regret? As though there aren't many?? Actually there aren't many, but I think I regret not standing up for my happiness enough, back in the first half of 2010. I really allowed people to upset me when I could have just said, "woah bitch, stop right there. you dumb." (Or perhaps something more eloquent and powerful.) If I went back and did it again, I think I would be pretty out there, braver in my actions to stop people from manipulating my feelings (and by consequence my actions).
I suppose that in some ways, regrets could be thought of as a disease for those who can't just "live and learn". People who are very nostalgic or who, on the other hand, lament the past during their every waking hour are sort of hard to watch. You just want to yell, "GET OVER IT!"
But Evie, I'm sure you would join me in saying that that's a little harsh. People is people is people… let 'em be.
Personally, however, I would like to avoid regret. Whether that takes the form of not ever doing things I regret, or learning to move on from actions I'm not happy with… it's all a matter of practice.
Live and learn… a nice little philosophy!
-Lee
