Regrets

There is no point to whining about how you wish you hadn't done something. It's done. It's over. Move on.

If you know that you're going to regret what you're about to do, or what you are planning to do, or what you are considering doing maybe, there is a very simple way to avoid that regret: DON'T DO IT. You might try to convince yourself that it will be fun, or that it's not that big of a deal, or that you won't regret it as much as you think you will. Guess what? The fact that you need to think about it this hard probably means that you shouldn't do it.

I believe that more people have good instincts than we can see. It's just that a lot of those people ignore those instincts and try to pretend that things don't matter to them that actually matter quite a bit to them. They ignore the nagging feeling that says "You're being stupid/a coward/immature". But no matter how hard you try to murder it with a samuri sword or a fork, you'll always feel that nagging in your chest or your head or your back or the third toe on your right foot or wherever that nagging feeling hits you.

So, you can make the choice to do it anyway, then try to brush it off and say that next time you'll be stronger and make the choice that feels right. Or, you can make the right choice now, even though it might not seem as fun, interesting, or kind. But, whatever choice you make, you have total control over the situation. If Brotips has taught me anything, it's that "you can literally do whatever you want". So stop whining about your regrets and actually do something about them.
