Regrets

Many would argue that regrettable mistakes are better than missed opportunities, and never knowing what might’ve been. Although a strong case can be made for some things being better never having known.

For a while now, anytime anyone mentions regrets, i think of that scene from Kill Bill, where what’s-his-name asks what’s-her-name (snake in money scene), which of the R’s she would feel more, upon death: Relief, or Regret?

I think my answer would be that i will feel regret for most of my life, and relief at the end. I might even die with a smile, just for knowing it’s finally over.

Regret is something you have to learn to live with, and live through, if living is the choice you make. It’s another type of scar. It doesn’t ever really go away, but sometimes you forget it’s there, or don’t really notice it as much. But the quiet times… the memories… the ‘special’ days spent cold and isolated… they’re the worst.
