The right choice
Occasionally there will be choices that will power over us for days. We think about which one is the right one, what happens if we choose one or that. What if one of them turns out bad. We will never know till we try.
Day & night we think about these choices and all the possible outcome of each. Constantly thinking “what if”.
Some say “I would rather ‘regret doing something’ than ‘regret not doing something”.
I live in the past a lot, never really think about the future. I’m too scared to try, to change and to risk. I’m comfortable with what I’ve got, but I longed for more. I’m not brave enough to attempt that “more” because too scared it’ll be the wrong choice.
I wish I could know what the right choice is. Wish I could be brave enough to make a change.
Sometimes we just have to take risks. It’s a hard thing to do. I used to ask myself “what ifs” and “if onlys”. Then I realised I needed to stop looking into the past and start looking at the present, at least.
It’s hard not to look into the past since it’s such a huge part of our lives. I believe it makes us who we are a lot of the time.

Your layout is very, very cute c:
I know exactly how you feel.. I’m the SAME way. I live in the past far too much and I’m always scared to jump and do something “more”. I’m afraid I’ll fail, or I’ll make a fool out of myself, or that I won’t be happy with whatever I choose. So I just choose to stay the same, mostly.
It’s something that I’ve been trying to work on though, heh. I hope you’re able to become more brave as well! I think it just takes becoming more confident, and learning to take risks and just accept whatever does happen.

Well, I guess that’s the essence of life.. we have a choice but it’s really hard what to choose. I heard this from a quote: that even if people told what you have chosen is the wrong path, as long as you know how to defend your choice, then it is not a wrong path.

Choices really depend on what the certain aspect is. There are times when those who gamble win but is it really worth gambling? Do you know the risks?
When it comes to objects or careers or anything of that kind a gamble is alway worth a shot, however there are things that are not worth gambling such as people.
I’ve experienced many hardships in life, having someone u can trust and that can be there for u is not something u easily come across. If you have something good why gamble it away? Instead of gambling why not improve? Change doesn’t have to be something totally new. Change can be an improvement and perhaps if you want that “more”, but too scared to change why not work with what u got? That way u can create that more instead? Also on the bonus you don’t have to worry about losing something good and you can achieve that “more” that you want…
My values in life are that if u got a good deal hold on to it as much as possible and if you want more from the good deal, you have to work with it then you won’t worry about losing out and u can get double the rewards

That saying “I would rather regret doing something than regret not doing something” has been tested by yours truly and I guess I approve of it.
The thing with me is, I’d rather know what really is bothering me and find the answer, than to wonder forever and think of the ‘what if’s’. There’s a risk, but I can’t have all things at the same time, right?
I hope you can make the right choice!

i’m really sorry that you’ve been playing this out, but i completely understand because the feeling’s been way too familiar for me in the last year. i keep looking back at what’s happened, and what’s obviously behind, and trying to hold on to it when i could be making what i want in the days to come. i’m aware that i could be happier once i just let go, and i think you know it, too. so the best you can do now is just try your hardest to finally forgo the past and look forward. try hard to stand up and make the change.

It’s not easy to make a choice and I understand how doubts can shake our confidence in making that choice. But sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone. It’s easy to ignore the things outside that zone. But we don’t what we might miss. Life is full of risks and constant trial.
Don’t regret the choices made in the past. I know it’s easier said than done. But look at the present and look forward for the future. They hold things that we have yet to discover.

Many of us think in the past, it’s not necessarily good nor bad. I often think in the past because there are so many things in the present I have done kind of reflect the past. It’s so hard sometimes not to because it all derived from the past.
If you need someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to talk to me. You have my contacts.

Oh you didn’t offend me, Krystal, don’t worry.
Since you are Asian, it’s not a big deal. It’s kind of a big deal with white people call us orientals because we’re Asian, not a style of an object! -_- You guys don’t refer to those from India (or descended from parents who were from India) as Indians? Their proper name? haha how interesting!
LULZ My super sweet 16 is something I can’t watch. It drives me nuts when those kids get all mad because their parents didn’t get them their car in a certain color. My gooodness, they’re 16!! get overrr ittt. Crazies. hahaah.
Gosh that show you have is something they need to air here. We had Survivor, but none of those people were spoiled brats, you know? Isolating anyone from the world will definitely change them haha.
Hrm welllll I’d say that you never know until you try. Hahah, although the right choices are tough. You kind of just have to follow your heart or figure out what the most logical choice is.
Either way, as long as the choice makes you happy, whether you followed your heart or made a logical decision, it should be a good choice/right choice, just as long as no one else is hurting from it! 
I’m more of living in the future type of person, although I do self-reflect on my past sometimes & it’s quite hurtful most of the time. So, I live in the future. Don’t choose to do something that won’t make you happy/isn’t beneficial. Sometimes things are just tough.
Since i don’t know what kind of change you’re talking about, I just hope that you will somehow find a way to find the choice you believe is right & get a little adventurous as well!

I hate choosing and I don’t exactly have a good track record of making the right choices.
I agree with you. I do wish that I know what the right choice is. I do wish that the “signs” of picking the right choice is clearer..
