“Festering with regret changes not one thing.”
“The past was gone. Nothing could change what had already been. Looking back at it, letting its wounds fester, indulging in regret was just a different, slower way to die. The living moved forward.”
“Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future.”
“The damage can fester under layers of time and change, and an ignorant, thoughtless remark can easily reopen the wound.”
“My jealousy is a living thing. Shifting, changing, growing. Like my rage and my mother's regret.”
“We all say and do things we regret, but it’s never to late to change, apologize and become a better person”
