Looking back
on my life so far I am awash with memories both good and bad. Sentimental thoughts
stir up feelings of happiness, delight and satisfaction about many experiences
and events I have been lucky to experience. Similarly nostalgic thoughts of the
past also rouse emotions of regret and sadness.
Whilst I have
had many moments of happy events and amazing experiences during my 30 years of
life, there have been a few times where for varying reasons I have missed out
on an amazing life experience or not been able to do what I really want to do.
I wish I had
gone on a once in a lifetime holiday abroad where I could have accomplished my
dream of swimming with dolphins, experienced a different culture and seen wondrous
sights when exploring and going on adventures.
I regret not going to college to the course I really,
really wanted to do.
I dream
that things could have been different so that Lee and I could have had our
dream wedding a few years ago instead of putting it on hold, a dream wedding
that unfortunately has still not happened.
As I am
sad and am regretful to have missed out on a few amazing experiences during my
life and have been through a very dark period of time when I was suffering from
clinical depression, I now try to live life to its fullest and if I am lucky
enough to have a second chance at something I try not to waste that chance.
