No Lingering Tears, No Regret.
Sometimes I wish I waited a little longer
Often times I wish I could go back in time
I wish I had the opportunity to change some things
I wish I never had to go through some things which I did
Well, if wishes were horses, even beggars would ride
I wish I can close my eyes and bring a halt to that tide
I just wish for every trouble that shows up I can hide
Troubles come albeit as thick as the finger, as hard as the rock and sometimes, mild
I wish I could "unmeet" some people and meet some over again
I wish I could have done things better than I actually did
I wish the ocean would rise and I would run across
I wish I never had to experience some hurts which I did
Well, for every tear I shed and cry, I have no more regrets
I know they made me stronger and redirected my views
Now I can say, throw me to the wolves and I will come back leading the pack
I just want to gather the experiences along my track
I had no regrets for all the times I stayed up and cried
For all the times I was judged wrongly and tried
They all added up to make me who I really turned out to be
Without these experiences, how can I help another grow?
Without them, how can I come out stronger and glow?
Sometimes you need others to help your trumpet blow
Most people try to conclude on who you are without a clue
We all have things we are dealing with silently, no doubt
Never assume everyone has it all together without some regrets
But that is how life is, and we need to live and learn
At this point in my life, I don’t have regrets but lessons
What doesn’t kill me will definitely make me stronger (maybe smaller in the case of Mario)
I need to look inward and push beyond my limits
I have no regrets for everything I have gone through in life
I know those experiences made me better but not just for me
I keep meeting people who I should help due to my experience
You will come across people who you will need to help
By telling them how best to deal with how life dealt with you
So, until you come across them, no more lingering tears, no more regrets
How best could you have shared your story without those experiences?
We all need support in life and no one knows how best to act in every situation. You might think you could handle a situation better until it happens to you. You can’t judge another person if you haven’t even been in their shoes or can you try to understand a situation that you have never fully experienced? You might have an idea but you really can’t understand the full extent of it.
We all need help at one point in life. We all need a shoulder to lean on and we want a shoulder to lean on as well. Life is about give and take and you give as much as you take too. When an opportunity arise for you to be there for someone, never let it pass you by because you never know if someone’s life depends on it and if that is all they want from you; support.
Many people think everything involves money but not at all. Some people only need you to listen to them, hear them out while they vent and shed some tears so they can feel better. We could use a little bit of help here and there.
We all need help and I would rather live for a day and touch many lives than to live for hundred years and not make any significant impact in anyone’s life - my motto. Be there for someone because you don’t know if the person you have helped would in turn be the one to help you get through a particular phase and if you leave such a person broken, you have denied yourself the help you would have banked on later on. No one is an island, and we all need each other to survive. No one has it all together. That person you think has everything is looking up to someone for help too. Help the little way you can and from where you are too. Don't wait until you have everything because the truth is, you can't have everything based on how humans are.
Never let the opportunity to help another person pass you by. We all need one another to survive. Every experience that got you up to this point should never be thought about with regrets because your experience can be the only help another person needs to get out of that dark hole and go on to achieve greater things. When you go through situations, it's rarely pleasant but in the hindsight, sometimes you appreciate going through it, either for your growth or for the sake of another person. So, no lingering tears, no regrets...
Thank you for your time.

Experiences are our best teacher. Good or bad, it honed us for who we are today. That's right! No regrets, just lessons..
