This is life. Life hurts.

Aww, does everyone in this thread want a big hug? :'C

[Ivy]

I dunno Slur, would it be an anime hug? (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

[321jassman]

Awww, is everyone a woobie here? (See TvTropes)

[321jassman]

Well, kinda felt sorry for everyone here...

Besides, the 'see TvTropes' part meant for anyone who might not know what the term 'woobie' means.

I can never stop analyzing my actions, no matter how much I try to pretend otherwise or desperately wish otherwise as my brain seems incapable of doing such and they call this severe anxiety and I have learned to go with the flow and by go with the flow I mean try to cope with heavy to light prescription and otc drug usage and abuse but it's not going very well as I'm sure is shocking to know and this is the part where I try to make a kind an helpful general statement to answer the question 8))))))))))

I think you should really follow the quote provided by Redhorse. I certainly will:

'Finish each day and be done with it. you have done what you could. some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. tomorrow is a new day. you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.'

Unless you're James Bond, you only live once. Why live it with regret? Sure, you'll makes some mistakes. Others will do too. I think it's important that we all understand each other and be kind with one another

I would live by that quote if my brain would let me, but I can never seem to convince it. I wish it were so easy.

You're in control of your brain, not the other way around.
You know, the same person who said those words also said: 'Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.' We just have to rise each and every time and do it with smile

I don't know, the pain and regret is a part of what makes us human. Without it, we wouldn't feel remorse, or sadness or understand the preciousness of things, because there would be no comparative. I'm all for maintaining a happy outlook, but I embrace the darker sides of my personality as well. You can't be a poet without understanding loss, you can't know worth until you have something taken from you. That's how we learn.

I had an amazing relationship with my mother (who passed away not long ago), and I miss her every hour of the day. There's a hollowness inside me that I know will never go away, though you become better at ignoring it. Still, this sadness has motivated me toward significant professional and personal achievements. I've done things that I've never dreamed I could do, some before and after her death, much of which she was able to see and share with me. The whole process of her illness (cancer) and passing was beautiful in a sense, as macabre as that sounds, even her funeral was as remarkable and exquisite as she was. I was never closer to another human being, she was/ is my dearest and oldest friend. Everything is still quite raw, and I suspect it always will be. You can scab it over, but the scab falls off unexpectedly and the wound is eternally fresh. Not sure what I'm getting at, but in essence, there is a harmony in life with regret and fulfilment, pain and pleasure, bravery and fear. The best we can do is try to live in equilibrium with these elements. Balancing as best as we can, and weathering what we can not. RIP, mom.

Well said Peekachu, well said. And I'm sorry about your loss.

I really like this song and I want to share it with all of you.

Good question! And to answer your question I'm a pretty laid back guy so I don't worry about things to much. I just do what I think is right and hope for the best. If I make a mistake it sucks, but at least I learned from it.
