been there, done that

im the last person in this world to talk about life and it's requisites. and believe me, it's the last thing in this world that i want to talk about.

but when you got so much time as i do, at home and at work, you think.

think of things that are sometimes worthy of thinking. and most of the times just pure waste of time.

but still, as intellectual beings, we think. with sense, or lack of it.

with so much things running through my head, im bound to let out a few. i think i owe it to myself.

REGRETS.

im sure everyone is familiar with such word. or maybe have become more than acquianted with the word.

we always say don't do things you might regret. i heard it from my mom,my sister, then from my teachers, then from some friends. i hear it so much im probably immune to it by now.

and immune indeed.

my apologies, but i don't believe in such cliche.

i believe that we regret things that we didn't do, rather than the things we did.

i believe that what we don't do that very second makes us cowards and what makes us cowards is that little voice in our heads saying, "don't do it or you'll regret it for the rest of your life".

guess what? you will regret it any other way. why not regret it knowing that you took the chance and knowing what is out there. knowing is far more precious than innocence. and innocence might as well be called ignorance.

i've been stupid, and beyond. and i can say those were not my finest hours..or years in my case. but those years never made me say i wish i can comeback and rewrite it all. never made me say i wish i didn't do this. never made me say "what was i thinking?!". because i knew exactly what i was thinking that time, and i was thinking straight. I WILL NOT LOOK BACK ON THIS DAY AND SAY I WISH I DID THIS.

sure it was moronic. completely reckless. but isn't that being what young and stupid means?

we test the waters. we see what's out there in the wild. we take a leap. we fall so hard and break our hearts, over and over again.

get it out of your system. that's what being young and stupid is, YOUNG AND STUPID.

and once it's out, we go back to the shore. we see the light out of the wild. we land on both feet after a big leap. we mend our hearts and learn to love again. and live.

live like how life should be lived. no what if's. no hang-ups. no regrets.
