It eats you up, demolishes you, breaks your heart into pieces then leaves you helpless…
Regrets...

It wakes you up every morning, pinch your sleep, knot your throat with bitterness then steal every taste of happiness…
It imprisons you poisoning your life with repentance.

Merciless, invasive, cruel

One of the most destructive weapons that lives inside you, growing more and more every day until it blurt your eyes with resentment tears.

Regret
The only feeling in life that is irreversibly linked to the mercy of time.
Regrets are just like tears, once they shed out of your heart only time can wipe them out.
Didn’t we all have regrets at a certain phase of our lives?
Regretting a relationship, a wrong choice, a failure

How many times have we regretted a choice randomly taken or an action based on anger that once the instant emotions are gone, we face the sad reflection of our acts for years afterward?

How many times have we regretted a spoken word that came out too quickly to hold back and too galling to recover?

“Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.” Ambrose Bierce

The worse regret one can ever have is not to have taken an action while we still had a chance to do so or kept in our mouth an unspoken feeling or word that would have healed so many wounds?

“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.”
Sydney J. Harris

Regrets are nothing but a grudge that only we, can turn into a positive lesson
It carries with it the power of redemption, the will to never fall into its deadly trap again.

Regret is a past that should be guiding us through a better future.
It triggers us to grab whatever power lies in us in order to shape a better future by avoiding making the same mistake again.
