REGRET

 It is always something you should not have said or done that damages your relationship with someone you care about or not. And it is in this manner that I want to talk about regret. Not the one that is a result of things beyond your control but the ones which you could have controlled but overlooked.

Nothing makes you feel like shit the way this kind of regret does. 

My friend once told me that regret is the worst emotion and I completely agree. Because how does something make you dwell on it and not move forward because you're thinking a thousand things you should have done better and rarely presents you with an opportunity to rewind time in order for you to do better?

Usually, the problem here is not really whether you are sorry or not but that the deed has been done and there is no going back. This kind of regret just says, "It is what it is" and expects you to accept it even if it makes you cry every night.

This type of regret gets even worse in the matter of death. 

Here, the universe offers you no chance to make amends except even in reincarnation (that is if you think reincarnation to be a real thing) because no two persons are the same.

It was in a book that I first saw this statement, "Don't let anyone in your life die without forgiving you" or you forgiving them and I can't tell how much of a good advice this is because if you ever let it happen, you may not survive the heart pain that would follow afterwards.

Regret never serves a fair deal or maybe it's actually fair this time since you made the choice, right? You may want to think through the choices you make daily especially in your relationship with others.  

Regrets which come as a result of your bad choices will likely stare you in the face all your life and struggle your pajamas with you every night.

Do watch out for that guy! Because you need good sleep everyday and consistent sighing increases the size of your lips( Ask google if you doubt me).

A WORLD OF SO MANY VOICES

"If it gives you peace, do it" is what my sister once told me when I was seeking for her advice on a particular situation and this is so much more than good advice. At the end of the day, I found the solution to my problem not by following conventions but simply by listening to what I really wanted to do. I hope you realize early that no one's experience is accepted as the standard and that there are situations that would require your voice and yours only. There are no hard and fast rules to situations like this. At the very end, you've got to choose your self. Your peace. Your voice. Here you would answer, "what works for you?" and not how everyone has been going about it? It's a world filled with many voices; speaking out what they've probably tried and what they think works, but you must learn to have a voice and also know when to pay attention to what it's saying.

IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!

You may think an unhealthy relationship is far from you, but I can't guarantee you that if you or your partner falls into the following category.  Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay tuned for this unveiling. 1. The people whose hobby is table turning: Are you familiar with the term "table turning?" If you're not, I'll tell you what it means. Do you know those people who never admit that they are at fault or believe that they have a hand in any wrongdoing but always find a way to make everything your fault? They are the table turners. So, he or she does something that is clearly wrong but by the time the story is told 3-4 times, they manage to make it your fault and you end up apologizing for what you don't know. 2. The people who "call a spade, a spade": These ones with their mouths sharp as razor specialize in telling their kind of truth. Their mic is always on. All they know about being supportive is calling a spade a spade and saying things th...

How being an expressive person helps me in my relationship with God

On good days(almost everyday), you can call me an expressive person. By expressive, I show and tell exactly how I feel. I just hate to sweep my feelings under the carpet and even if I try to do so, it doesn't help. Therefore, I'm always like, "I couldn't have done stuff without you. Thank you so much" or "That thing you did to me yesterday, I don't like it" or "you talked down on me and made me feel so little, don't ever do it again." No matter how hard I try, I'm not sure I will ever join the "be the mature person and be silent" gang. I won't survive it. Many times, if I can't say how I feel, I literally feel like something's choking me. Being a Christian who is working towards perfection, somehow, I learnt to apply this expressiveness in my relationship with God and it has really helped me.  So I literally talk about everything and anyhow I feel. I just tell it to God and it helps because, He would know how e...
