Stuck in a Loop of Past Regrets




Not sure why, but as I think about this concept, my stomach suddenly tightens. See… I love my life today so much (at least the parts I consider important), that I would be scared to change the slightest thing in my past. I’m a strong believer that everything in life happens for a reason. Everything and everyone is connected, and every action brings a reaction. I can go on with the clichés, but I’m sure you get my point. I always try to resolve issues along the way, in an effort to avoid regrets. The few regrets that managed to make it through are connected to hesitation rather than action.

However, there is one incident, which even though has been resolved through multiple revisions and conversations with the affected party, or just settled with a good amount of compromise, still remains in the shadows of my subconscious, taken the form of guilt. When it comes to this incident, I feel like I’m trapped in a loop, reliving it repeatedly through my thoughts. Doesn’t help that I’m an overthinker.
