I’m jealous of people who have no regrets.

I wish I wasn’t, but I already have lots of regrets. So many moments that I look back on and wish I didn’t do that thing or say that thing. I’ve hurt and upset lots of people, embarrassed myself, embarrassed others to make me look better. I’m a better person now, but nervous to do stuff, nervous to say things incase it’s wrong or people laugh at me.

You are always going to find jealousy if you look at others to compare yourself to. No one is perfect and we all take a journey through life that grows us and we all make mistakes that shape us. You can take time for regret if you want to but you don't need it for self reflection and growth.
