Turning Point

Often in someone's life there is a critical moment or event that seems to change the person's personalty for the rest of their life (usually some sort of physical or emotional injury). It's easier to see from the outside in other people than yourself. For me, I made a bad decision fifteen years ago related to love and feel like I am still paying for it.

You screwed up in your way. They screwed up in theirs. No one is innocent. The whole world is to blame because there is always plenty of blame to go around. Forgive. Forget. Love even if you're not in love. You're okay in my books.

maybe you would have been alienated, had way too many kids, or a bad person if you hadn't.

But even though it was catastrophic for my life, it's still my life. That's how life is. Unless one happens to be clairvoyant and is thus able to always make the "right" decision, we simply have to keep slogging along and trying to learn from the decisions we made that had bad results. Allowing yourself to wallow in regret is an even worse decision than whatever it was that made you regret in the first place. Just try to move forward and let go of the past.
