The Catfish Splash: No Regrets

Regrets.. you're not supposed to have them. Sometimes, you reminisce about the past and questions begin to formulate. What could have been? What if I had done this? You'll never know because you can't go back. There's no delorean parked in your garage, is there? There's no time machine stashed away in the basement, right? I would've done that differently or this slightly to the left, it doesn't matter now. No turning back, and it sucks. What could've been? It's not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination because the choices and paths taken or not taken shaped who you are today.
I'm not saying this because there's something in my past that I regret. Alright fine, I'll be outright with it. It was a missed opportunity, and we'll leave it at that. What if, what if, what if? I despise that phrase, but you just have to find a way to deal with it. It's not the end of the world, and life will go on. The regrets resurface from time to time when mental lapses occur. The scenarios replay in your head over and over like a broken record. Where would I be now? What kind of person would I have become? It's never a bad thing to look at what could have been, just don't dwell on these thoughts. You can't go back, tough cookies, huh? Look on the brightside though, things happen for a reason. The decisions you made in the past shaped who (insert name here) is today, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
