Regrets - I've Had A Few...

Not too long ago, someone repeated to me what I’ve heard and felt a hundred times before already – “You never know what you had until you lose it”.

I heard the song 雨天 by Sun Yanzi, and totally fell in love with it. Anyone who has experienced the chagrin of regret after recognizing what has really been lost, will be able to appreciate the sentiments of this song.

With the haze going around, and the skies looker bleaker as a result, I’ve naturally been drawn back towards the dark side, thinking back to the days past, to what I have wasted and what I have lost.

Ever regretted bitterly your decisions, only to be faced with the hard truth that you have no recourse except to shoulder the weight of your choice? Ever looked back and lamented the wasted opportunities, the things that you could have done had you but tried? Ever bemoaned the problems that would not have existed today had you paid attention to it back then?

If you do, then welcome to the club. But as a dearly loved friend of mine recently found out, grey skies DO part… some dreams have to die so that loftier ones can have the chance to grow.

So if you’re wallowing in the sentiments of this song, and again trapped inside your head with the demons that you made, take heart… The proverbial light at the end of the tunnel is real…

In the meantime, don’t make the same mistakes anymore. Take a good look around you, and stop floundering in the quagmire of your folly… start re-looking at your life, and recognize what is important to you… then learn to cherish it. Whether it be loved ones, or be it where you are right now in your life… take a moment to stop thinking abt the things you want to change… and give thanks for the things right now that you hope will never change.

Yes, this doesn’t sound like the regular me. And no, I’m not dying of cancer.

Grins.

I’m just trying a different form of therapy today at work. Grins. Need to think positive thoughts to stay awake…
