Things would have been different if I had just gathered up some courage and speak my heart out that day. It would have been different if I wasn’t too scared to defy those who believed it their right to make decisions for me. Different it would have been, if I wasn’t a coward and stood up with my loved one on that particular rainy night.
Only if I had spend some more time, with the only grandparent I ever had, for I was a fool to not realize we didn’t have enough time for anything. Would it be different now? Only if I had not been so careless, I didn’t put the effort to save those relationships, never knew my eyesight so bad I wouldn’t see the distance growing between us. If only I had, friends would still be friends.
P.S.- ‘We’re full of contradictions’ a voice whispers in my ears on times when I’m soaked in regret. The reflection of it hates the me who made those mistakes once. Between them is the present me who’s still lacking in everything, who is still as imperfect as she ever was. But you know what I like about this girl? There’s something in her shining so bright that it blurs out all her flaws, all her mistakes. That very thing is her belief that she will do just fine. No matter the wrong choices, mistakes or the lingering regrets, she will make it through, for all she wants to be a better person and do the next right thing.
I see the difference now.
#dailyprompt-1917
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?
WordPress daily prompts are not much of a motivation for me to write but occasionally, some prompts do catch my eye. I found this prompt yesterday while going through my WP reader and it kind of resonated with something I wrote the day before yesterday, so I thought I should post it here.
We’ve all had moments where we didn’t take action and regretted it later on. If you could go back and change the past, what would you do differently? Let me know your thoughts on this in the comment section below. I’d love to hear from y’all.
