Something I Regret

Well Folks, Here Goes...

I have tried to live my life not feeling regretful about anything. 

When you live, you learn.

All of us make mistakes, 

Those mistakes are what help us grow and become better.

For the most part I have been able to view my mistakes in that light. 

Sure I feel sad when I make bad choices.

I regret that I am not better.

I am working on it

And I don't regret that.

So I think that evens it out.

However, there is one thing that I still feel regret for.

I was in high school

It was my senior year.

I was asked MONTHS early to go to prom by someone I wasn't too thrilled about.

I BS'd and somehow got out of it.

He walked me to class every day, would run fast to open all the doors for me.

It was hard for him to do because he had such small legs.

He was about half my height.

and I am not that tall.

Prom came closer, and someone else asked me and I accepted.

A combination of things made this the worst date I ever had.

My Small friend was nominated Prom King that year, our senior year.

And didn't have a date.

I was making a video for the senior class and I interviewed him at the dance.

I asked what he was going to do that night.

his response,

"Just go home I guess"

I will remember that forever.

I could have been a lot less selfish that year

and made someone happy. 

I would have to say that that alone is my biggest regret. 

I just hate how selfish I was. 

Hopefully I can still learn from that...even now I feel that tinge of pain in my heart.

That was a mistake I shouldn't have made.
