"I choose to ignore the concept of regret."

The GASP I GUSPED. I cannot tell you how many times I've ranted to people about this. I've said before "regret for my past actions feels too much like self hatred, and I refuse to put myself through that again", only to get back hesitant nods and agreements. The people I talk to about this just never seem to be all that understanding or enthusiastic about it 🥲

The way I see it, my younger self did exactly what she thought was best, and I won't fault her for that. I will learn from her mistakes, but I refuse to poison myself with regrets. This is the first time I've seen this sentiment echoed somewhere other than my own head, so thank you.

Makes me think maybe I should write about it lol, I still haven't posted anything

I really like this! I feel like social media can make us feel like we are so behind.

In theory I agree with this completely, in reality it’s not so simple.
