Member Topic: Regrets

As I look back on that pivotal moment when he mustered the courage to propose, I can't help but feel a pang of regret. He was a kind, caring, and genuine guy. His best friend, the messenger of his affection, stood before me, his eyes reflecting the hope he carried on his shoulders.

It wasn't that I didn't see the love in his eyes. It was the conflict within myself that clouded my judgment. Fear and uncertainty gripped my heart, and my mind became a battlefield of doubts.

I only said: "Let him tell me himself."

And that was that.

A regret I live with to this day.

I should have just said yes because I loved him too.

This was way back in 2000/2001.

But Minty you were a preteen/teen in 2000-2001? School crushes and puppy romance rarely amount to anything in adulthood. Give yourself some grace. You are probably romanticizing the idea of what ifs. For all you know, he could be a pot bellied man with 5 kids now?

You're probably right, my dear.

But I can't shake the "what ifs" and "could haves".

I'm just romanticizing it, I know. He was my first love, and that's why I can't forget him.

Is looking him up on Insta/Facebook an option? What you remember and what he is now are probably two different things. You probably won’t feel the same if the difference is too drastic.

Yeah I have looked him up on Fb and he looks pretty much the same.

In retrospect, I realize that I was afraid of change, afraid of stepping into the unknown. I allowed my fear to drown out my heart's whispers, and I let a potentially beautiful relationship slip through my fingers.

Okay that’s brutal. But if he’s still single and you’re still single, then go say hi at least and let the chips fall where they may?

Oh no, he's married and has a kid. Sorry, I forgot to mention that

Ayi yi yi. That’s it. Break out the sangria.

So who did you want and didn't get... ?

The guy.. the messenger... who was the guy behind the shoulder?

But now u got a guy, your boss.. but you regretting about someone else.

Minty Minty..

I'm going to hold your swayamwar here, not let you chose.. we will find a nice boy.

Arranged marriage kardenge teri.

Jokes aside.

Don't regret what didn't happen. It was meant to be.

Someone somewhere dreams of your smile, whilst thinking of you, is thinking life is worthwhile..
