#doesn't everybody?

[mega2wheellife]

doesn’t everybody?

 she wanted love

doesn’t everybody?

& I wanted something

but wasn’t prepared to be involved

in the round of family meetings

mad uncles’ feckless aunts

indifferent parents

bad drunk crazed siblings

taking the cowards way out

becoming gently distant

never fully involved

until she threw me over

found somebody more willing

the capacity

to deal with all of that

& I wanted to thank him

from the depth

of my shallow pool

To be honest, as a person who suffers from anxiety and depression, I don’t WANT my favourite characters to be mentally ill.

I love them too much to have them go through the same shit I have to.

do you regret anything in your life?

Getting a lot of asks asking this lately… My answer will always be the same:

Of course I do. People make mistakes, but the tragically beautiful part about making mistakes is that we learn from them - and from learning from our mistakes we can grow from them into a better form of ourself. We can become a better form of ourself for ourselves, and a better form of ourself for others.

So yes, I have made mistakes and regret them, but hasn’t everyone? There’s no such thing as a perfect person, or a perfect story. There isn’t a single person I bet you that has not done something that they regret. Everyone has or will, it’s human nature and happens to everyone. But it’s a growing experience.

So long as we choose to grow from our mistakes and regrets and not continue to repeat them - we have learned from them and it makes us into who we are today and who we can be.
