I often refer to R as the one who got away. But in reality, he was the one that I let go. We are still friends and I am happy he is in a great relationship. But I cannot help thinking about what would have been between us. The worst part of regret is that you have no else to blame but yourself. My aunt says opportunities are like arrows, they only go one way and never come back. I should have jumped on the opportunity to be in a relationship with R. But I hesitated and the moment passed me by. In my dream, I finally told R how I felt. It was such a relieve. He was single in the dream and we lived happily ever after...or until my alarm went off. In reality, I am single and he is happy, but with someone else. My friend Magda has a different take on regrets. She never regrets. She says that if it is good, it’s wonderful. If it is bad, it’s an experience. Magda is always very pragmatic. I have not decided if I will tell R about my feelings before I go. I don’t want to have more regrets.
