Retrospect and Regret
There are poiniant moments in our life, of realisation, that contribute to personal growth
Life deals you her cards and you choose your path as you see it before you at the time
Life is too short for what if's and regrets, but there are experiences we will always wonder about
Looking back can be painful, it wrenches at your heart, pulling your emotions in all directions
Retrospect is a powerful tool, it can tear you apart because in essence it confirms you're too late
We do not have a birds eye view to look ahead to what the consequences of our choices may be
We have to learn from our choices, experiences and mistakes, they make an imprint on us
When the head rules the heart but the heart wishes it ruled the head, it is a viscious circle
All we can do is truely live for the moment and today, having faith in ourselves
Those we come across on our journey will hopefully remember us for the good times
Smile when recalling moments shared, knowing their hearts were touched by one another
Because sometimes the timing is right, and sometimes it is not
Maybe there are no right and wrong choices, paths, or directions
So long as we can live with our decisions and refrain from hurting others intentionally
Contentment in the heart and mind will come whether it be how we'd imagined or not
We have to have faith in this otherwise life would be entirely emotional turmoil,
retrospect, and regret.

Jenny,
What can I say about your latest post...WOW! Very deep, very passionate.
In your young life it would seem you have seen way too much...and you take it much too hard. I do not to profess to know everything, barey anything , truth be told...but the one thing you learn about life, is to never , ever stop dreaming. Nothing is as it seems, and anything and everything can change in an instant. Ask the family of a suicide victim, or the person who has just been told they are free of thier cancer...things can, do and will change.....that, you can count on. Sometimes it may be for the way we want, sometimes not, but through it all, we must always continue to believe in our dreams..no matter how far fetched they may seem. We may realize them someday....but we may not. If we do however give up on our dreams.....then surely we have admited to our own defeat.
Beautiful writing Jennie, may you never give up on your dreams.....
I just wanted to thank you for your comment. You know I appreciate your honesty and opinion. I would like to think i still believe in my dreams! As I hope you do. xx
