Regret

***As we grow older, it becomes much too easy to live in the world of regret, unable to move on. Stuck in the past, blind to the future. So why don't we change how we view regret. Instead of being scared to try new things for fear that we may regret them, let's instead choose to act first, and deal with regret as it comes, if indeed it ever does? ***

What seeems right this moment probably is, little one,
Even though you think you may regret it a second later,
Don't.
For regret is rarely right.
