This meme resonated with me. I have few regrets about decisions or experiences over the years. I think regrets can be a waste of time and energy. That’s not to say I haven’t analyzed the crap out of a decision or a conversation after the fact. Just that I try to look at my behaviors and attitudes and learn from my mistakes. Then I move on and hope like heck I don’t make the same mistake again.
Sometimes though it has
taken me years before I realize that I acted from a place of ignorance. I know
I have said things that were totally misinformed. I think specifically about
times when I’ve known someone was in the throes of depression or anxiety and I
just did not understand why my pollyannish sound bites did not move them to
make a change. Yeah, I’ve been that person. For anyone on the receiving end – I
am terribly sorry.
Which I guess is another
reason it’s none of my business what someone else thinks of me. I need to work
on being the person I want to be – not what someone else wants me to be.
To the past versions of
myself – I forgive your ignorance and am glad you are turning out to be the
person you are now. It’s a journey.
