Don't Live in Regret

Got to talk to a friend from years back for the first time in ... well, years. We reminisced about the times we had and began to wonder why times like that seem to fly by leaving a permanent stain in your memory and why it seems that all the fun times have to end. Maybe this happens to everyone. As we get older, our priorities change and our ideas change and we aren't so focused on what we were then but on what we are now. Maybe what we are now isn't as great as we think it is. I had some really good times with him while we were hanging out and I would love to hold onto that, but he didn't seem so keen on it. Maybe our great that we like to remember is the source of regret for others. We are too focused on how we feel about certain thing that we don't take the time to stop and think about how someone else might be feeling about it.

Take the friends who hung out all the time but never dated. One remembers all the great times they had as friends and the other begins to remember and they both share some great fun filled memories where they were having a great time. While one is ecstatic over the memories that have come up, the other begins to think about things and wishes things would have turned out differently, and how their life has changed for the worse since then. This sends this person into a regretful mood and quite possible, depression. The conversation ends abruptly because the other person just simply can't handle it anymore. How is the other person, the one who was happy to remember all that stuff, supposed to feel about the sudden termination of the conversation? It kind of makes them feel well, sort of bad, like they said something wrong. This will be in their thoughts no, wondering what was said that was wrong, and if they will ever speak again. Maybe that is a bit too harsh. A little too dramatic.

What's the difference between a G-spot and a Golf Ball?
A man will actually LOOK for a golf ball!!
