Prompt # 33 – Regrets

Regrets. Well, I usually try to avoid thinking negatively. Choices I have made may not have worked out as positively as I may have hoped, but C'est la vie. A learning experience.

If I must, I guess my first regret would be that I didn't understand my mother, where she was coming from, what made her the way she was, before it was too late and she was already gone.

I guess a second regret would be about blanks, gaps, in my education, specifically emotional intelligence, and self-knowledge, self-awareness, especially before I entered the workforce. More self-awareness might have meant that I didn't have to learn so many lessons the hard way. And it may have prevented me from choosing life partners for the wrong reasons, thus dooming relationships to failure.
