Regret

Sami: I'll be completely honest here, because I understand what regret can do to you, I've spent a lot of time in the past regretting things that I've done. Whether it's something small like saying something stupid to the guy you like or something big like making a mistake that hurt a lot of people. I've had my fair share of sleepless nights thinking of how things would have turned out if I had done things differently. So I can confidently say that regret is a waste of time. Regret digs at you so intensely sometimes that it actually hinders your day to day life, and frankly that's no way to live. I'm a strong believer that things happen for a reason and that everything will turn out okay. So let it go and try to move past your regret and move on to tomorrow. Stop thinking of how things would have turned out and concentrate on the present. I know this advice is not so easy to take, but take it from a girl who is an expert of regretting the past, your life will be so much better if you let it go, learn from it and move on. You cant change the past, nothing will be able to do that.

Alex: The only thing I can add onto that is that once you move on, remember to take into consideration what consequences you or others might suffer before you make any rash decisions. Something that may seem fun at first may be soooo not worth it after you see all the damage it does.

Shmam and Alex,
no comment on "regret." just older sisterly advice to not have any.
but, since I am a saint, I obviously don't have any. (haha.)

anyways, good to see that Boy Meets World made your list of favorite things. because where in the world would all of us be without such lovely role models as Corey and Topanga, Shawn and Angela, and of course, brother Eric.

S: can't wait to see you tuesday
A: i'll probably see you soon too!
