Regrets.

“There are no regrets in life, just lessons” – Jennifer Aniston.

In every persons life there are chances that are not taken, opportunities that are missed and times when you’re just too scared to say “yes”. I am definitely one of those people that watch the world go by. I don’t think I choose to do this, I think it’s closely linked to confidence and having the balls to just do whatever gets thrown in your direction, grabbing it and simply running. 

Over the years my biggest regret has been letting people affect what I do, how I perceive myself and the value I place on everything around me. As a teenager you are trying to find yourself, so hearing that myself wasn't good enough for people was really difficult. I felt really awkward, and even now I'm still quite an awkward person, in around different people and new situations. I wish that I could go back and take opportunities that I didn't, or make the most of times that I didn't. 

But then, regretting is looking backwards and I promised myself I would not do it again. If I chose not to do something it’s because it felt right at the time. No one can turn back the clock and regrets are nothing but lessons - they’re not to be dwelled upon, they're to be learned from.
