Without Regrets

I think everyone should try and live without regrets.
Yes, you may wish you hadn't done something.
Yeah, maybe you think back and realize now that it was a bad idea, and you wish you had decided that you weren't going to do it.
Sure, you may feel like you'd still know someone or have something that you don't have anymore, if you would have acted or said or done something differently.
But I think that no matter what you do or how you act or how you feel, no matter what; you should never regret anything.
Though I'm not saying you should be careless and crazy and do rash things all the time, either.
If you really think about it, you wouldn't have done what you did if you didn't think it was a good idea at the time.
If you were having fun and enjoying yourself, that is what is important.
When you constantly regret things, it isn't healthy.
You should instead learn from it and then move on.
If you don't except that what is done is done and keep moving forward, you'll never get anywhere.
Having regrets is awful because they keep you stuck in the past, and you end up moving at a snail's pace.
When the things that you've done are in the shape of regrets, they take up space in your mind and they slow you down.
It's like regrets are these weights and you're always pulling them around with you; except unlike real weights, they only make you stronger if you let go of them.
