What if?

"The cruelest prison is the one we've built for ourselves out of fear and regret."
Warehouse 13


What if....

Two words that caused many of us sleepless nights and bucketful of tears. We all did things in the past that we wish we could bury forever. Things who happen to have a habit of popping up now and again to haunt us and make us doubt ourselves. There were things in our past we wish we could have done differently. There were things that we wish we could have done or change.

What if...

Yes, what if we knew back then what we know now? Would things end up the way it did? What if we did not do what we did, would things be any different?

What if...

We've all asked that question at some point. We all have things we regret doing. We all said things we wish we did not say or probably do things or say thing we now know we should have said and done.

What if...We can undo the past? Should we?

The regrets we have about our past, the guilt we feel for not doing what we know now we should have done, the fear of doing the same mistake again...all these are stopping us from moving on. Sometimes we find ourselves doubting our capabilities, our decisions because we have this deep-seated fear of committing the same mistake again and getting the same result. In the process we not only stop ourselves from growing but also create more regrets in our lives.

Sometimes I think it's a never ending process. It's like a circle, it goes on and one without an end. A loop that we can't get out of. We stop ourselves from doing something out of fear that we might fail and regret it and end up exactly the thing we fear of, a failure who regrets not doing what needs to be done.

What if... we just stop asking ourselves this and just doing it?
