Shaped

This quote is life.

I have always had a love-hate relationship with the word "regret."

It's a common question: "What regrets do you have?"

Holy Moly!

If each of us had a genie in a bottle and we could just take three things away from our past, we would probably do it!

But, then we wouldn't be exactly who we are.

We couldn't be.

Those experiences, big and small, have helped to shape us into exactly who we are.

The good and the bad.

The choices that we have made all along have molded us into the person we are today.

Period.

Now, that doesn't mean that we should be complacent.

If there is someone who we should apologize to for things in the past - do it.

If there is someone you should forgive (whether they have apologized or not) - do it.

That includes yourself!

But, living with regrets is a waste of your time and energy.

You are who you are because of ALL of it.
