Regrets (part of my clog)

YYAAYYYY ITS SPRING BREAK!!!! …and yet I still have to go to math class, where’s the justice in that?? But that’s beside the point. I just wanted to kinda go on and on and on about the annoying little things called regrets. Regrets are feelings of wanting to change how some event went. And everyone has them unfortunately. Like most of the time it’s about not doing something or something that you did that you know was wrong and most likely changed the outcome of an event. For example, one of my biggest regrets was letting what other people say get to me. I mean come on it’s just words, but yet I couldn’t help but to listen to them. Consequently, I got self-conscious and lost any confidence I had in myself, just because I listened to them. Was this smart? No of course not, that’s why it’s I regret it. It’s kinda like how come I could just make the right decisions back then so I’m not in this position. Right now my life is going great, but I mean if I changed what happened then would I still be this happy or even in a better position? A lot of people say that everything happens for a reason, but if you look at a lot of other things happening in this world, do those happen for a reason? To me they just seem like another regret. Why can’t we just have the knowledge to make the decision that would help us down the road? Why can’t regrets be changed? If there is a reason for everything, then what’s the reason that we can’t do either of those? Like the Columbine tragedy, why couldn’t those guys not listened to the teasing and bullying? Now, people lost their lives because of their decision to bother them and not do anything about. Does that really make things fair? And it’s not just that incident either, school shootings and violence is a regular visitor to the newscaster stand. Those are regrets. Regrets have the potential to destroy people’s lives, but then why do we have them. Why is what I want to know… if you have answer from me then I’d be welcome to hear it.
