E-girl's Thoughtful Spot: Your Favorite Summer Moments!

I can't live on regret, I do admit that I am partly driven by regret but I don't dwell on it as much as I used to.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Regret is a small flame that burns inside me
On occasion something will cross my path
and I will again see the life I might have had
should I have turned left
instead of right
and the fires swell up inside
but i adjust that burner
as hard as it is
back to the small blue flame
which warms me on
not to give up the chances I have now
so I don't look back in flames again
 
one of my biggest regrets isnt going to my grade 8 grad dance.

it may sound goofy, but i look now and i see that the relationship with the girls i used to be best friends has completely fallen apart. i sometimes think that if we would of spent that last day together before the summer before high school, maybe we'd all still be friends.

i also regret not loving enough, not doing enough to help enough people.
 
Regret is the voice of the little judge that lives in our heads.
He says, "Why didn't that go better? What if you'd done this instead?" and he doesn't bat an eyelash while you fall apart at his feet. I choose my life and what to care for, and I am all out of care for regrets. Instead, I try to look at it all as a grand allegory that I will use at some later date when another disenfranchised youth walks past me crying. I used to feel like Humpty Dumpty, but now I realize that it's not worth trying to put it all back together, when the shattered pieces of me were never meant to fit tight anyway. Idealism is my succour, now.
 
Regret is...

Wishing I would have saved that last shot of heroin for the morning but No..... I just had to use it in the middle of the night.

I regret not being able to control my drug use
 
I regret everything. I have more regret than anyone. I have lost everything, and I regret it all.
 
NEW TOPIC: Determinism

DETERMINISM

Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe there is a certain fate for you in this life? That everything is predetermined?

I'd be interested to hear everyone's side of this. Also, to recommend a good read.... go out and get "Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul" by Jane Roberts. It has some interesting views on reality and such.

I personally do not believe that everything in life is predetermined. Which is interesting because when people say "Everything happens for a reason" i'm quick to nod. But i think that's just the excuse we give to justify bad things happening to us.

I think there is a such thing as free will.

Any other views on this?
 
i agree about free will, but in some ways i believe that some things are just meant to be. we make our own choices and go our own way in life, so to me how can things be predetermined if we are the ones making the choices?

when it comes to love and marriage i often think that those kinds of things are just meant to be, like soulmates or maybe im just sixteen and naive :)
 
Some would say that if you were intelligent enough and could freeze time, know everything about the present and past, that you could determine how time would unfold from that moment onwards. I think that's bullshit, really. There are influencing factors, but I think we've got a free will. There is a force you could call `fate', then, and a force you could call `free will'. And free will is not only the ability to choose what or who you're controlled by. Unfortunately, however, our free will extends so far we can choose to be slaves...
 
Fate don't completely delimit choices; we still have free will insofar as we make all of our own choices at every cusp. Essentially, Fate can be considered "history as it happens from this point forward." You aren't bound to choices dictated to you by an outside force--but when decisions need to be made, these are the choices you will make.

"I believe in Fate because Fate believes in me..." - Sebadoh
 
More like a purpose in life...maybe everyone has one specific thing they are meant to do...and until up to that point everything is free will..but it all leads to the one defining moment.

i dont really believe that...! but hey it could happen but of course on a much more complex level.
 
Without being too poetic I kinda see it like a spiderweb - you are probably going to get to the center but there are so many crisscross ways you can get there.

This doesn't necissarly mean you are going to be eaten tho ;)
 
i like the image, but I disagree with the application:

If it's a spiderweb, we start at center and there are infinte paths stretching in all possible directions.
 
New topic: WHO DO YOU TRUST?

WHO DO YOU TRUST?

Trust: complete confidence in a person or plan; the trait of trusting; of believing in the honesty and reliability of others

Who do you trust?

Is there one person in this world that you put all your faith in? A person you feel you can count on through anything? Is trust something you base your relationships on?

I guess above and beyond it all, the only real people i trust are my family. As much as i would like to put total and complete faith in Danny, there is this piece of my heart that is permanently scarred from justin that doesn't allow me to do that. it allows me to get very close to complete trust, but there's always that sliver of uncertainty. But just like he lives with maybe not-so-complete trust in me, we still have a good relationship. There are things we don't know about each other and its ok. And my friends... I trust them, but when it comes down to it, its still a dog-eat-dog world, and even friends can betray your trust if something will potentially harm them more.

I don't think there can be ANY relationship without *some* degree of trust. but complete trust? is there such a thing?

Who do you trust?
 
There are people i trust on certain levels,,,,,, trust completely,,,,,,,, no i have no unconditonal trust with anyone,,, not even myself,,,,, simple fact we are all human,,, and as much as we all have good intentions sometimes, we fail,, as we are meant to do,,,,,, i believe to as to learn.

:) GREAT subject girl
 
Interesting question....I remember one day at my old work, a girl asked me why I'm so laissez-faire about telling complete strangers intimate details about my life and why I'm so open about everything. She asked me if I'm never concerned about being hurt.

My answer to her then was that when everyone knows your secrets then nobody can use them against you.

In other words, it's not so much that I trust anyone unconditionally...rather, I accept that people being people will fuck up every now and then. I don't mean that in a bitter way, I have no problem with it at all. Human beings aren't perfect, and having accepted that makes my life a lot easier to live. So maybe the only thing I trust unconditionally is that life will throw me curveballs, and that MY life isn't some fragile crystal ornament which needs to be protected at all costs...I can stand to be jostled every now and then. :)

I hope that makes sense, it's 10am and I haven't been to bed yet...lol..
