No Second Chances

Hidden Hills

November 16, 2024


A friend sent me the adage, “don’t spend time in the past, that’s not where you are going.” The corollary to that adage in my mind is “don’t have regrets.”


I’ve been wrestling with those too ideas for several years, trying to not only accept them but to live by them.


I have changed so many paradigms in my life, but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to incorporate those perspectives.


If I were in charge we’d all be given second chances a couple of times in life. For those situations where we completely blew it and messed up. Where the lingering regret is so awful.


I know that’s not reality. But maybe I can find some peace in not fighting the past and regret. We’ll see.


Note: This post probably makes no sense. I’m having trouble finding the right words to explain myself. Not the first time, and it won’t be the last. 🙏
