Choices, Decisions and Regrets.


           Your life, your future depends on the choices you make. Most of the time, we make choices. First thing in the morning, we decide whether we would dismiss the alarm and get up, or press the snooze button repeatedly. Everyday, we encounter events that requires our opinions, oir decisions. And I admit, most of the time, I decide without weighing things out. In tagalog, "Padalos-dalos." And that's because we always have that thinking that little mistakes won't hurt nobody. We settle on doing this and doing that without even looking at the possible consequences. Sometimes,  these little actions, wrong actions, would have big impacts on our lives. Consequences and outcomes that would change our lives and our way of looking at it.

         I've regretted a lot of things. Wrong choices that made me overthink and led me to depression and to having a lot of sleepless nights. Decisions I've cried over for days and days. But then again, what's done is done. Never let your regret eat you. We can't change what had happened in the past. We shouldn't cry over spilled milk. But we can clean it up instead. Yes, we can't do anything about our wrongdoings in the past but we can make a big change for our future. Crying over the past won't be of any help. Even if you cry a river, o kahit Pacific Ocean pa yan, it would not change a thing. It would not change what already happened. You should instead, wipe off your tears, get up and start making right decisions. Regret is common. Regret is normal. But giving up? No. Don't let the past make a monster out of you, don't let the past be your monster. Prove them wrong. Show them you're better. Show them that you are the best.
