mistakes

today one of my friends said that she never believes anyone who says that they don't regret anything in their life. i told her that i don't regret anything i've ever done. she asked me how that was possible, and here's what i said...

i believe that everything happens because it is supposed to happen, even if something seems like a gross misjudgement at the time it will effect everything that happens after that. i believe that i am where i am today because of what i have done in my life. one little thing that i 'regret' could be a big part of where i am in my life and if i changed it yeah, i might be somewhere with my life that i would like more but i could also be somewhere worse. everything i have said, everything i have done, every 'mistake' that i have lived through is a part of what makes me, me. i like myself, i like who i am and what i have done and what i will do because it is me.

besides, everything that happens is God's will. how do i know that? because it happened.
