It’s the beginning of October and I feel like I’m gonna be suffering a little more than usual. I always feel more depressed during this time of year. It’s a month I’m born in. But also this month marks something 2 years back that I regret so much.
My birthday month is always the worst for me too. I also have deep regrets. I know the pragmatic thing to do is to just let them go but that is easier said than done. Have you seen the movie “Magnolia”? There is this scene that I always think of……with the terminally ill old gentleman who keeps repeating the phrase “the regret…the goddamned regret”. And he just says it with this undercurrent of despair and the way he says it just really conveys how regret feels. It is a very compelling scene…..
Sorry I dont really have anything illuminating to say….other than that you are not alone suffering from regret.
Thank you. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who gets especially depressed on birth months. I have not seen the movie but I’ll look that scene up 🙂
