Give me some sunshine, Give me some rain,
Give me another chance to grow up once again.
All of us have some secret regrets…not exactly regrets but something like “I wish I could have done that”…some unspoken, undone remnants of life. After completing three decades of my life when I look back and walk down the memory lane, I find many such moments which I want to relive with some improvisation.
I wish I could have spent some more quality time with my grandparents. They stayed with us in the same house and had more than fifty percent credit in our upbringing. I had so many sweet-bitter-lovely memories of them. I feel myself blessed to have their companionship till my twenties. But, even after almost a decade has passed since their demise, I still cringe for their company.
I wish I shouldn't have wasted my precious time in a useless relationship with a person who never understood me or valued my presence. I missed many fun & enjoyable moments of my life just because I was too bogged down by the insensitive & nonchalant attitude of that person.
I wish I could have been not so overtly emotionally dependent on that person that even I was scared to speak my mind due to the insecurity in our relationship. I wish I could have asserted my feelings & thoughts more often and understand that it can never drive away the right person from your life but can help to weed out the wrong ones.
I wish I could have chosen my subjects more wisely in the initial years of my academic life. That time, I only knew that I love Mathematics and it was my strength but along with that came two monster twins’ physics & Chemistry which I was never able to tackle comfortably.
I wish someone told me, When I was 11 years old that it is absolutely fine to raise hell against that creep who relentlessly sketches excuses to feel my body in a bad way. I wish someone told me that you need not to feel guilty about the whole thing and it is that slime ball who should be ashamed.
I wish I could have been in touch with more of my school & college mates. I tried to revive the bond later when Orkut & Fb came into existence, but by that time the aura of the bond had already faded. I am still in touch with few of my school friends who studied with me since class 1 and the charisma of our relationship has remain almost intact. But, surprisingly the college friends group hare now only FB friends with whom the relation is tangled in ‘likes, comments & status updates’ only.
I wish I could have revived my reading passion earlier. But, better late than never.
I wish I could have stepped into this wonderful blogging world few years back, when it came into existence.
I wish I could have been more prudent towards my health and shouldn't have neglected the weight issue which has completely gone out of control now……sigh!!
Ohhh My God…this list is growing so long….rest I am leaving to pen down in some posts…you see, I have to sustain till Z and it is only F now!!
We'll always have some regrets in our lives... there will always be moments/incidents we'll wish to undo or change... but actually such moments/incidents teach us important lessons of life... lesson we would otherwise not learn...
ReplyDeleteOh NB. How did I miss all these posts? I surely need to catch up. I loved this one. Wonderful topic and a way to get lost in that memory lane. Mine coming up next ....
ReplyDeletev.good post. every human has "i wish i could have done this.." feeling. And some times feel like (i feel like)it would be nice if we have an option (limited)of ctrl+z and ctrl+v :)
ReplyDeleteAh.. all of us have the if's and but's of our life.. But in a way, only because of whatever had happened, we are moulded into the way we are now.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I love that song :)
Until later,
Keirthana :)
