How to #60 : regret

i used to pride myself think that i have no regrets, that mistakes are made to be learnt from. But the fact remains, there some mistakes that could have been avoided or just carried out differently, and the way to rig your regrets is through faith, but that is another topic altogether.

The one thing that each and everyone can regret is the moments when you comprimise who you are for 'the benifit' of others. Dont come with that story of 'i dont know who i am, or what i want...' You know who you are, and you know exactly what it is that you wanted to do or say, but why the hell didnt you? Ten to one other person involved or just you would have appreciated your own honesty so much more! Admit it? Be real. To yourself and others.

Hurt is inevitable, and by being who you know you are, you will, with time sieve out the people in your life and find the ones who will end up being the main characters in your own little life story.

and just for the record... stop trying so hard to be great, just be. Greatness will come

  1. Moet nooit ophou skryf nie!! Hierdie stuk is belaglik goed, dit het regtig met my "gepraat". Die een ding waaroor ek mal is oor jou skryfstyl is jou eerlikheid. Jy sĂȘ dit net hoe dit is.
