I usually sit back in my room or may be in the kitchen, in class and even especially in the bathroom to think through and about a whole lot of things. Things of the future and those of the past.
The ones of the past usually hit certain nerves especially those cutaneous ones that carry pain fibres cause as I’ve heard, our brains tend to remember the bad memories than the good ones.
I really used to do the blame game a lot. I used to blame myself for the things that went “wrong” in my life and even those of others sometimes.
I thought about the ‘bad’ things for so long, in anger and guilt most times that it made me realize certain things. I asked myself some questions like “Were you happy when you did this?” “Was that what you really wanted to do?” “Did you feel compelled to do it?” and ultimately, “If you’re faced with this situation again, will you do the same thing?”
The answers I gave myself were answers that pointed to the fact that I had no regrets. Many of the things I’ve done; both “good” and “bad”, are things I’m likely going to repeat if I’m faced with those situations again, so what’s the point regretting?
I believe that life is a process and everything that happens does not happen by chance. There’s something to learn or unlearn when we access or ponder on the things that happen to us and this is how we grow.
So yes, I live my life without regrets and I urge you all to do the same. Please share your views with me by commenting below and share with family and friends. I look forward to knowing what you think about this.
