Eternal (a letter to my sister)

If only I could save you.  If only I could somehow absorb and take away all the pain you've suffered.  If only I could protect you like I always wanted to.  I guess life has its twists and turns; one never ends up where planned.  I just really wish I could at least share, or help you with your burden.  It is so unfair sometimes, to have to drag along the heaviness of someone else's mistakes.  I just don't understand how you endure, how you go through with it.  I don't get where you find your strength.  I don't understand how your heart can still hold so much love.  So much pain and love it seems it's what it's made of.  Wow, I love you so much.  I need you in my life and I need to be in yours.  I wish you'd open up.  I wish you knew how loved you are, how bad I want to help.  I wish I could make you believe this, but my words are so weak... like I never really learned how to talk to you.  I feel so sad, I feel so hurt for you... so mad... so ready to give up.  I want to stay here, to stop running... I want to give up, to just do what I was born to.  I feel everything I've done is nothing, and everything I tried I failed.  But all I have is my love... It still exists... hungrier than ever.  Wanting today to finally show it.  I don't even know how.  I don't even think I have your trust.  I think it was just a moment... a moment for you to let go of some of that pain.  But how real is it?  I mean, How open are your arms?  Do you trust me? Do you even want me around?  I don't know why I've let this crumble.  I should've listened and paid closer attention.  I Hope my words don't sound so weak... I hope you truly know deep down how much I care.  I hope you know I'd do anything for you... because I love you.  The kind of love you don't need to be protected from.  Eternal... please believe it

Regrets

No Regrets = Stupidity

regret

A

noun

1

sorrow,regret,rue,ruefulness

sadness associated with some wrong done or some disappointment;

Living life with no regrets isn’t something positive as many people treat it to be. Having no regrets is simply stupidity. It’s like someone running 10 miles and burning zero calories. The lessons in life are learned in those moments when we sit alone to reflect on our decisions, and to evaluate the consequences. Regretting is a part of the process, it is part of the test of life, it is the culmination of a deeper understanding, and a breaking point for genuine progress. Having regrets is vital for success, but dwelling on our mistakes and not forgiving ourselves is where the problem lays. It is our inability to forgive ourselves and accept our imperfections what holds us down in our upward journey to real success. People with no regrets don’t realize the source of their misfortune and their disappointments because they lack the understanding of what it is they’re doing wrong and what it takes to change and start seeing new results (positive results); they don’t know the problem, so they can’t fix it. Those are the people who live in vicious cycles, making the same mistakes over and over; they keep whining and not doing anything about it. So people, please… Stop saying “I live life with no regrets” like it’s something amazing and positive of your personality. Ponder,Regret, Forgive, Learn, Progress and Grow. In that order. Feel the sadness of your wrong doing (or disappointment) and embrace it, accept it, love yourself enough and grant yourself forgiveness. Gather the strength of your soul to start over and move forward, with a valuable lesson which will shape your character and make you a stronger individual; an individual with regrets, but also one with amazing power to learn from, overcome and conquer adversity.
