Mistakes

A mistake is something in the wrong. My biggest mistake is always regretting half the things I do. Regrets are when an event happens in the past and you start to think back to it and realize you wish it was different, or you wish you would have done something differently to change the event in the time. There are many types of regret. There are fewer minor ones, like getting invited to a birthday party deciding not to go, and realizing after it is too late that they had a lot of fun. But now you are not able to go back and change your mind. But there are also bigger types of regret like having a family get together with family you don’t ever get to see and you decide to isolate yourself from everything that is happening.

I had always been close with my great grandfather Billy. Anytime we were up north, we would always go see him and my great grandmother and talk for hours. I feel as though I never put my full attention into spending time with him. I would be distracted by the tv or on my phone or there was always something. Once he passed away I realized I made a mistake not spending more time with him. I will always miss spending time with him.

When it comes to deciding whether or not to do that action always go for it and do it otherwise you will regret it and won’t be able to go back in time and change the fact that you wanted to do something but didn’t.
