A friend I really really care about a lot once told me that you shouldn't regret things you do... you should regret things you don't do. I stopped right there for a second, because I honestly wasn't getting the picture, until moments later he explained himself: No matter what you do, wrong or right... you learn about it. An experience comes out of it. However, if you decide not to do something, you'll never learn what you could've learned or lived out of it.
It makes complete sense doesn't it? I mean, maybe it's something simple to a lot of people, but I actually... had never thought of it that way. I keep thinking constantly about my mistakes and yes, it hurts... but it's only until the pain goes away, or else when I decide to forget about it. But when it comes to things I never did, there's no such thing as forgetting about it. There's no record of it, no memories. It's just wondering. And wondering makes you insane.
It's what we mexicans call "hubiera". Many consider "hubiera" as plain bullshit. Many others use that word as an excuse for suicide or... God knows, to cry their way into life. Or perhaps sometimes out of it. I admit it's hard to hear the word at times, but life goes on and... well, next time "hubiera" comes along, let's just not make space for its existence. Let's face consequences and live life freely. With mistakes and falls and shit.
Ups and downs, and rebooting... life's a constant detox.
