I hold no biggest regrets.

I understand that as humans, we all go through a range of emotions, and feeling ‘sorry’ or ‘remorseful’ is just part of the package. Life has thrown its fair share of challenges my way, and I have certainly made my fair share of mistakes. Along this time, we’re constantly faced with choices, right? Knowing that some might come back to haunt us later on. Personally, I have had my fair share of failures as well, and yes, there are things I regret. But you know what? I have managed and learned to accept that regret is just a part of being human. Instead of letting it weigh me down, I have decided not to let those big regrets linger. Constantly dwelling on the past doesn’t really help, though—it just adds more baggage and extends the feeling of sadness.

Rather than beating myself up over past decisions, I have found it more helpful to learn from them. Turning regrets into lessons makes it easier to handle future choices. So, all this time, I have always been all about moving forward, leaving that haunting feeling of regret behind and taking the lessons with me.

I can totally relate to grappling with regret, and I can assure you it stings even more than heartbreak itself. That sense of missing out on an opportunity, that moment when you realize you’ve gone off course, and you desperately wish you could hit rewind to dodge the mistakes. The regret phase hits you like a punch to the gut, and suddenly, all the blame seems to land squarely on your shoulders. Those nagging questions pop up out of nowhere, questioning if yesterday’s choices were the best, disrupting your peace of mind and body.

So, my take on it is to acknowledge that regret, fully feel it, and just embrace the sensation. I know it’s like your heart’s being squeezed, but trust me, when you make peace with it, things will normalize. You’ll come out of it with new lessons learned and a fresh perspective.
