regrets

In this little life, I have often experienced moments of regret - for the decisions I’ve taken and the ones that I haven’t, for the foods I have eaten and others that I have not yet tasted because they are different from what I grew up with. Regretting giving my heart to the people who I knew didn’t want it or taking others for granted. This little life we all share with each other, as I grow older, appears to be too rich on regrets, for people often blame themselves for things they have done or failed to do.
