Secrets and regrets
Over my lifetime, I have leatned that secrets and regrets hold a great deal of power over people. These are the things that cause us both fear and pain if they were ever to be exposed. The majority of us live with these, holding them like some sort of perverted treasure, not letting anyone, including themselves the opportunity to even get a peek at them.
Over the years, I have learned to embrace, accept and release my secrets and regrets. I have learned that my secrets are just things that I have and that I control my relationship with them. That my regrets were due to choices I made and whether good or bad, they were what I did and I embrace them as my having taken a chance and moving forward with the knowledge I could be wrong. That while things may not come back around, that doesn't stop things from happening. I learned not to think about the "what ifs" anymore and look more at the, "what can happen next?" and if I really want to, I can try to live the what if I wanted on my own.
I may not share my secreta and regrets, but not because they give power to someone else, but because they are mine to control my life how I want them to. I have embraced them and made them a part of my experience in life and not something to feel shame, fear or hurt over.
