#295: Other Choices

I could have made other choices. I could have planned for my day differently. I could have taken your pleasures into consideration. I could have done what it was supposed of me to do. But I didn’t.

I chose to go with what would relief my heart, with what would make me happy and productive. Should I regret that?! Should I call myself selfish?!

Yet, sometimes, no matter how much I know that regret is a wasted energy, I still do regret the actions I did.

Now, I regret my honesty, I regret following my urges and my impatience. Couldn’t I have just waited to see how things would turn out to be on their own?!

We could have been something else. But, we weren’t meant to. Because, eventually, we do have very little choices each second. And the range of choices we get is limited and linked to the choices we have made in the previous seconds.

We can only choose now, we can only choose from what is really given to us now. And as much as this thought is freeing, as much as it is scary and disappointing. Still, you have the choice to choose how you would like to see it.
