I made the “right” decision. I stopped something from happening, something I really really wanted. In the long run I would have only hurt myself and everyone else involved. Why do I feel like I made a huge mistake??

I’m trying hard not to regret a few bad decisions. They were decisions that felt right at the time. I guess it’s all a learning experience. Even though things aren’t working out the way I had hoped, at least I tried.
when I keep fucking things up. But I’ve been acting on good intentions, and I guess I’m learning lessons.
So the whole thing didn’t work out. But I know that I gave it my all. I’ve done everything I can do so I will never be wondering what if…
I’m actually quite proud of myself for the way I handled it over the past couple days.
I took a chance and I felt sooo nervous about it. But it turned out for the best, and I’m so glad I took that chance.
There’s something I’ve been upset about lately. Last night it was helpful to see my top two goals: Have no regrets and think positively. I’m trying to accomplish both at this point. I’m taking some chances, and no matter how things turn out, hopefully I won’t have any regrets about it.
In general I don’t regret anything because it’s all led me to where I am right now. Although I know I still have a lot to do and learn I feel as though I’m on the path that I want to be on :)
I just need to focus on what is really important to me. I realize that back in high school I ended up focusing on my social life. It was fun at the time, but I ended up ignoring a lot of things that were really important to me. I also created a lot of problems for myself. Of course I want to have fun and enjoy life… I just don’t want to let important things fall by the wayside. Hopefully I will learn from my past mistakes.
I mean, there are always going to be things you do that you regret. For the most part I’m okay… but sometimes people make really stupid decisions – and I just made one.
I guess I can just take that experience and try to learn from my mistake. It still sucks though…
I agree that you need to face regrets from the past and let them go. At some point I’ll really need to take stock and figure out what these things are. I’m not at a point where I’m ready to do this, I have too many other things on my mind.
The second part of this goal I guess will just be keeping this in mind when I’m making decisions, not to shy away from things and just go for it. Because I know in the future I’ll mostly regret the things I didn’t do.
One thing I am kinda happy about is that I no longer regret going into Arts. I always kinda regretted not going into math in University. I’m really good at it without really trying so I felt like I could have been exceptional if I really did try, instead of being just mediocre at everything else. Well… I’m taking a Math course now. Instead of doing the ‘Math for Elementary School Teachers’ I’m taking Calculus, just to see how I do at it now. And I’m happy to say that I’m still good at it, but it still bores the hell out of me! lol, I can’t see myself doing it for the rest of my life and I guess that’s good. I can let go of my regret of going into Arts :) Astronomy still really interests me, but I think it’s just something I’d like to read about from time to time, rather than actually studying it for years and years.
In terms of the second part, I’d like to live abroad sometime next year and I admit that at the moment it’s scaring the hell out of me. But I know I’ll regret it if I never give it a go, so I’ll keep that in the back of my mind whenever I start to get nervous or scared.
