What If? Life and Regrets

I don't know why I never do my best back then. I have a lot of chance but I didn't grab it. I become so easy go lucky and without thinking of what could be the outcome of it. I become complacent and only settle at the bottom even if I can mot to the top if I work hard and study hard. But no, instead of working hard I become lazy, I focus my priority on other things. The decision I made before, I'm now regretting it. Because it affects my future, I have this "What Ifs" and If I could only turn back time I will change all the decision I made that time.

What if...

What if I study well when I was still in High School and didn't just read pocketbooks, I'm sure I'm smarter now than what I am today. What if I never get curious on the book that my Mama is reading that time? What if I never read it when Mama leave it just somewhere? I'm sure I'll never get hooked into it. I'm sure I will focus more on my study than this pocketbook. I'm sure my high school life would be more meaningful.

What if...

What if, I focus more on learning during my College Days? I'm sure, I'm not this bad in everything. I have a lot of plan when I don't have a laptop yet, I told to myself that I will write a stories while studying, but it didn't happen. I also promise to myself that I will try to study more about programming but it didn't happen also. Why? Because instead of studying, I prioritize downloading movies and watching it. Ans all of my free time was consumed on watching.

What if...

What if, I listen to Mom when she ask me to take care of myself and always clean my room, like those dust everywhere. I'm sure that Nasal Poly won't grow on my nose. I'm sure my confidence will still be there. It's started there, actually. I become the shy one because of the Polyp ony nose. If there's a recitation they can't understand what I'm saying because I feel like I have some huge booger on my nose that when I talk I sound like hmm and that affects my grade.

Even if I sound good to my ears, but when I started talking in front of everyone that's where I feel like they don't understand my explanation. And that's where anxiety will attack me. A lot of thought that I can't focus on what I'm saying anymore. I feel like they will laugh at me anytime that I just want to disappear in front of me. Yeah, I have that thought in my College Days. If only I listen to my Mom's nagging about cleanliness I'm sure 😩.

What if?

I have a lot of this from minor to major and from simple one to a big one. And what I stated above is the big one that I still question until now.

--

Well, I can't change it anymore right. It's just a memories now and memories can't be modified, memories from the past. It already happened. And even if I kill myself I can't change it anymore because I made a decision that time. The only thing that I can do now is to move forward and do our best now for our better future. Same with you who have a lot of what ifs. Even if we question our bad decision for a million times back then, we can't still change it.

We can't go back on that time because there is no Time Machine that exist here. But we can choose a different path in our present. If you started in the wrong path, then we can just take a detour. But make sure that you are ready to face the new challenges because never know, we might encounter a rocky road path with a lot of bumps. We may crash when we come across the zigzag but we can just stand and walk again right? That's the challenges we might face but with the determination that we had, we can make it through. πŸ’ͺ

How about you guys? Do you also have a lot of what ifs in you?

I do have lots of what's if. I can only agree to do your best now for the future because no one can't bring back time. Pasts were made to learn from and not to sit and stay stagnant in to, have some courage, self confidence and self esteem to try get out of our comfort zone so that when tomorrow comes you wont say what if again. Instead say, I did itπŸ’ͺ

A lot of what if's . What if you can change all that? Would you? But then, you won't be the "you" of today. Will you be okay with that?

But memories can be changed. As a matter of fact, memories are always altered. You may be remembering things certain ways even though they are not like that. Our brains are not like storage devices such as CDs DVDs hard disks or USBs. Our brain's fragile and more complex. Unless you are diagnosed with a photographic super memory, your memories won't be as in tact as you might think.

Sa tingin ko lahat naman tayo may regret sa buhay dahil parang life lang yan. Hahaha. Though may mga bagay na pinagsisihan natin ngayon dahil hindi natin nagawa noon, mas better na mag focus nalang tayo sa meron ngayon at sa ating future, ngayon na natuto tayo, wag na natin hayaang maulit na mapuno tayo ng pagsisisi, grab na natin agad ang opportunity. Para hindi na magkaroon pa ng what ifs sa buhay, magkaroon man siguro ulit pero hindi na ganon sa nakaraan, at least you give your best na for those things. Kaya ate, wag mo na alalahanin yun, kasi hindi na natin maibabalik, I mean yun nga focus tayo sa anong meron tayo ngayon at para sa hinaharap. It's not too late pa naman. :)

I'm happy na nakilala kita dito sa online world ate, you are one of a kind and generous. Marami ka pang napapasaya. Iniisip ko kung wala kang what ifs, kung mas naging active ka sa school, baka nasa malaking company ka nagtatrabaho o kaya may business ka na. Pwede pa naman yan mangyari ngayon, sabi ko nga it's not too late. Ang akin lang baka hindi ka namin nakilalala dito :( so focus ka nalang sa mga positive na nangyari sa kabila ng what ifs mo ha. Labyuuuu atee. I hope someday magkaroon tayo ng chance magbond sa personal. πŸ€—

I am sure all of us has regret doing what we have done before or what we have not, that it made us what we are right now. But here is the thing, if you are starting to noticed these things that you regret not doing or have done, I congratulate you friend! Because you were early, and everything is still possible and you can enjoy and things as you please!

Here is a motivating story for you dearest ruffa, it was one of the fiction I have read, but who knows, its happening on others. The story was about this girl, who consider everyone around her before herself, forget about love, gimmicks, and she saved more money to travel only to find out one day she has a stage 4 cancer and only has 10 days to spend her days. So what she did was write all the things she can do. And did it. She wants to go back and look back. She thanks all the people she forget to thank and people she is thankful for. She cries. She eat a lot of food. She went on a date. Had a courage to admit her love for her neighbor. Had her wild fantasies. And after 10 days she was happy doing all those things, that she refused to do, while shes young. But still regret that she cannot do that anymore and regret that she should have done it early.

I want to remind you that all of these what ifs are just barricades for your happiness! Start changing your why to how as immardary says sino nga yuuuun yunh iam basta yung may article ng change why to how. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Sa dami ng what-ifs ko, yung iba talagang nagsisi ako pero yung iba hindi na kasi siguro kung hindi nangyari iyon, hindi ko matatagpuan ang sarili ko sa pagsusulat. Kung hindi dahil sa mga past decisions ko wala ako ngayon dito.. Inisip ko nalang na Everything happens for reasons

There is what-ifs and regrettable decisions but for me, we should accept them and focus on our present to have a better future. Yung mga pagkakamali na hindi na maitatama pero maiiyos pa rin. :)

The thing that always get me through the moments where I get stuck on what-ifs is what an amazing teacher told us. She told us that there is not use for regrets or entertaining what ifs scenarios in our minds because at the tkme, we did our best. The other options did not exist that time so the path we took is the best one even if it does not seem like that in the present. So everytime, I do something, I know that I am doing my best at the moment and it does not necessarily mean the best I could be but rather, it is the best I could be right now. So cheers to us letting go of our regrets. Without the stepping stones we had taken, we might not have even ended up where we are today.
