regrets

It used to be that I always had regrets when it comes to the decisions I make. I always made the wrong decisions and this resulted in me having to make an article about that regret. In this case however, I am doing the exact opposite. I am writing, not because I regret a decision I have made recently. Rather, I would want to write about the fact that I haven't regretted my decisions lately.

For some sort of reason, I have been enjoying my life and there is nothing more I can ask for. I don't regret having no iPod, laptop, or a car because it was my decision not to have them. Lately, I have realized that my decisions have been at their personal best. I don't know. Maybe, I'm just content with life that even if some mishaps happen to come along the way, I still find something to smile about.

Regrets are decisions that have not been well thought out. They are the ones that you do just because... And that should not be the case. We only have one lifetime and regretting each decision we make is just a waste of your life. The decisions we make mold us into what we are and will become. Thus, regretting them is useless. The better thing to do is to face the music and push through with the consequences of our actions (good or bad).

At the end of the day, we become people who have matured and grown. And if ever we made a wrong decision, we can dwell on it for a little bit then make sure that we learn from it and do something about it.

all set to go

In about two months, a whole new chapter of my (or any sophomore for that matter) college life will begin. Normally, I would be approach this event with such trepidation but that is not the case now. It seems that everything has been unfolding perfectly for me. I have my friends who I will always consider to be my friends until I get old and they have proven why. They are the people I share the personal aspects of my life with and I think that is very important.

As for the other people, some of them who I thought were nie and friend-able were not who I thought they were. I found out something new about people and quite frankly, I am turned off by what these people did. But then again, this is a good thing. Why? Well, let's just say that I am happy that I do not have to deal with such people anymore. I'm not saying that I will be plastic and all that. Rather, I plan to be civil with them whenever.

It's just hard to accept that people who you think you trusted are not that real. But then, that is the real world and we just have to roll with the punches.

Next school year, only the first set of people will be important.
