there’s nothing like the creeping feeling that you should have done something differently

its what makes us human although inevitable you kind of just have to accept the linearity of life and that you cannot see the possible branches that could have been

i feel this in my SOUL. regret is the emotion i feel the most, that feeling of ‘what if i did it differently’ or ‘what if i just kept my mouth shut’ eats me alive.

NAOME it is definitely one of the emotions I feel the most :( but I try to spin it as positively as I can. I think being able to feel regret means you are willing to reflect and want to look back and improve <3

valoorie definitely reading the other comments, and your reply too has definitely made me realise how it is a human emotion to feel regret, just as long as we don’t dwell on it and how we can learn and grow from it. we are all growing and finding out new things about ourselves everyday. thank you for your advice <3

be gentle on yourself and don't live in a "what if" state of mind, it will destroy you without even realizing it, best thing is to learn from your experiences, and look forward, like we say such decisions could be a blessing in disguise. any "mistake" shapes us even in the smallest way possible, and life is full of what ifs, so why not just focus on what you can control now and be able to be the best version of you in any way you can.

la9atate this comment should be the recommendation !!! I definitely needed to read that as I’m sure a lot of people do too. It can be really hard to see the positives behind mistakes or choices you don’t align with now. Being gentle to ourselves takes practice I think

valoorie thank you <3 ! and honestly i am talking from experiences, i made a lot of mistakes but i am thankful for them (which could be ironic ik) because they made me who i am today. and what helps me the most is to never ever compare myself to others too, i am on my own path and i will achieve what i want when it's time for it, and who knows i could even do better ! let's see what the future will bring us ^^

when you take too long to decide but still make the wrong decision

when you make a decision you’ll never know what the alternative outcome would have been like. you can make it up in your head but there’s no logical way to actually know. so just make a decision and have confidence that it was the right one and if for some reason it’s not, you have no reason to believe the other outcome would have been any better or worse. regret is a wasted emotion for that reason.

…not ☹️. For whatever reason I keep posting and then deleting my recs immediately. I’ve gotten shy on here. I used to be so bold. I don’t know what happened !!!

I’m currently in the back seat of my friend’s car listening to their future plans. It’s lowkey terrifying me. However….take this as your sign that you don’t have to know what you want. You’re not alone!!!
