What is your biggest regret?

A regret 

is a missed opportunity

is a mistake made

is a "what if"

but what is a life without regret?

a life without  the very experiences that built you.

You regret not talking to him

watching him walk away

but you've learned 

next time, there won't be regret.

next time, you won't let him walk away.

A life without mistakes is a life not lived

a mistake is making your best friend cry

a regret is letting yourself be that person

a lesson learned is not making that mistake again

the regret is slowly crafting you to become the person you are

 

What is a life without regret?

a life lived by a person who has never made a mistake

a life lived by a person who has never learned from a mistake

a life lived by a person who blindly leaves a path of destruction 

 

Life with regret is a life with experiences to learn from. 

A life able to improve
