I am an overthinking person.
I know that many people around me can tell it.
But how much is considered much?
When I have something on my mind, I think in loop and let myself feel whatever I feel at the moment.
Disappointed? – Yes, you are allowed to be disappointed. You are not good at everything.
Sad? - Yes, you are allowed to be sad. You have done your best.
Confused? - Yes, you are allowed to be confused. No one can tell the future. You don’t even know yourself that well.
In the end, I break the loop by letting myself dive deep enough in feelings and let them go.
They are not forgotten but will not impact my life anymore.
It is like a stranger passing by. We stopped to say hi and continued with our own lives.
It might take some time, but if I intentionally ignore my feelings, they will definitely come back, especially a regret.
Being regretful hurts the most, because it mostly relates to the past that I thought I could have done something differently and the result would have changed.
Unfortunately, it didn’t.
I can’t turn back time and change what was done.
There is no point to regret since there is nothing I can do to make it better.
Then what?
Whenever I regret, I try to understand the cause of it and be prepared for a future decision.
A result of one situation may lead to the beginning of others.
It is not like I like myself every day. I just accept it the way it is.
The past is a part of life. It may not be perfect.
Well .. I’m just an ordinary human.
Sometimes, I made a mistake even when I thought it through.
The past is the past. | I can only choose to do better next time.
That is all I can do.
