Writer's Block: Youthful Transgressions

[Error: unknown template qotd] I. Regret. Nothing.

We learn from our experiences - especially those stemming from mistakes - if we're paying attention. 

You know what's even worse? Regretting things you didn't do. I grew up hearing: "I should have done X." and "I really wish I'd done Y."  Although... that probably prompted me to accomplish certain things so I wouldn't have similar regrets later.

Guess what? There is no rewind and I think dwelling on the past is a waste of a perfectly good present.

Dwelling on the negative is a waste of time too, but that's a post of its own. I feel it coming on, too.

We do learn, and then we're on new paths which are interesting.

I think the point of being human is to learn things as we go.

Yeah, I know for a stone cold fact I wouldn't appreciate my life nearly as much as I do if I hadn't come so close to really fucking it up.
