I have let go of self blame for the trauma, and in it’s place, I seem to be hanging on to regret for everything else. Ugh.
I saw a video posted on social media. I broke down into tears watching it. It was a blackboard where people walking by would write their regrets on the board, and then the folks who set up the blackboard video would eventually tell the writers of regrets to wipe the regret off the board. In the video, many regrets were about chances and choices not taken, rather than what people did do. The message at the end was to choose this day to do what you will not regret. (At the very end is a plug for a University. The video still affected me all the same.)
Here is the video if you want to watch it:
The image of a clean slate brought up tears for me. (Yep, I got super emotional about a commercial.)
I can not erase the past. (I have tried.) I regret things I have done as much as things I have not done.
But there really isn’t any reason to keep staring at the board filled with regrets. I can give myself a clean slate today, and go out and do things I will not regret.
Or I can at least try.
"If you do it, you'll regret it. If you don't do it, you'll regret it. Either way you're gonna regret it; might as well just do it." – unknown
Anyone else struggle with regrets?
