Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

Shall I blame my younger self or shall I blame my naïveté?

I wouldn’t know how else to put it because children feel blameless of their actions and then when they grow up, they loathe regretting over the outcomes.

I still blame myself and not others of their actions which resulted differently but I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing right now if not for that mistake which derailed my life. So as much as I’d like to regret over and rectify those mistakes. I ponder where would I be if things had happened differently.

I could be in a better place or not.. but the hypothesis of future doesn’t really calm my nerves, they rather are tweaked with every thought of it so why cry over spilt milk when I can change my today, leading to a better tomorrow.

What happened, happened but now I see myself outgrown of the validations to prove my being. I no more care about those people and their opinions about me.

I do as it pleases me, I have set my priorities where my well-being comes first and not the same people whom I blindly trusted with my future. People pleasing to me has become a toxic trait which I ignore at all cost.
