i know you have regrets.

small ones: like saying the wrong thing, tripping, wearing the wrong shoes.

big ones: waiting; ignoring; wasting; hating.

regrets are like poison.

if i told you, that you could go back and change them, what joy you would feel. how ecstatic!

there is a condition.

there is always a condition.

you cannot cling to the regret, to that moment. you cannot think about it every time you’re in public. you cannot lie awake at night, wishing with your whole heart that you could undo it.

your regretful memory must be almost forgotten before you are allowed to change it.

you might be looking at the stars on the sky one day, and suddenly you will remember this terrible regret!

and so you work for it. anything to change this mistake you made! you forget about it. you think about other things. you live your life how it is.

and then, when i come to inform you that you can finally go back and change it, i will laugh in your face.

because i know what your answer will be.

_ no need; i have already let it go!_
