Regrets

Regrets are feelings of sadness, repentance, or disappointment over something that has happened or been done. Sometimes we turn back, and take a look at what we did, and sometimes what we didn’t do. Then regret lays over us. It’s like guilt, but actually it isn’t. It isn’t like remorse, too. Maybe the desire to impossible, the desire to missed stuff. What do you think about it?

I believe we should talk about regrets, spice things up a bit, get into the real feeling of disappointment and hate. Just the other day I paid a visit to my friend, Ben. Ben and I have been the kind of buddies who hardly spend time together, you know, the occasional meeting up, probably twice or three times a year. Well, I went to see him and we began catching up on lost time. It was mad fun. We drank, he made rice with sauce and turkey meat, we ate to our fill.

But something was off about him. I noticed because I have a funny way of reading people. So, the curious and inquisitive ‘Me’ kicked in…now, bear in mind that this was the first time Ben and I were seeing in five months. The last time we saw in November was on my birthday, the 15th, it was cool though I didn’t expect he’d turn up or even remember. I can recall vividly how happy he was when he came and how he couldn’t stop talking about his angel, Stephanie.

 
With that in mind I asked him after Stephanie and all he did was laugh. After much questioning I got to understand that Stephanie had left him with an excuse that he (my cool friend who could never hurt a fly) had anger issues. Imagine that! I laughed hysterically though because it was so funny. I tried so hard to picture Ben being angry…IMPOSSIBLE!!! So I pushed further and asked him what his problem really was because it was obvious that wasn’t the reason my main man that hardly took alcohol was almost down his fifth bottle of Heineken. Puzzling, don’t you think?

“Regrets are the worst things to feel”, these were his first serious words that evening as he narrated to me how he grieved after Stephanie’s leaving him for weeks then decided to be on his own for the new year. He was actually scaling through his new found rule but things twisted as his dear friend and pal, Glory sent him the phone number of her friend who she promised was awesome, nice, smart and pretty. At first Ben saw that it was a huge mistake but he still decided to give it a try. Come on, there’s no harm in making friends but that was just the beginning of this story…
