“Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, “It might have been.” -Kurt Vonnegut
“I wanted to tell her everything, maybe if I’d been able to, we could have lived differently, maybe I’d be there with you now instead of here. Maybe… if I’d said, ‘I’m so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything,’ maybe that would have made the impossible possible. Maybe, but I couldn’t do it, I had buried too much too deeply inside me. And here I am, instead of there.” -Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Out of love,
No regrets–
Though the goodness
Be wasted forever.
Out of love,
No regrets–
Though the return
Be never.
― Langston Hughes, Selected Poems
You will never regret doing hard things. Even if things don’t work out the way you originally planned–they rarely do–you’ll gain so much from the experience.
You will regret avoiding or running from them.
