There's No Road Coming Back This Way...

THIS is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me,— The simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of me! Emily Dickinson

Regrets

Yesterdays Oprah she had famous moms write a letter to their younger selves. What would you say? Most of them just gave advice. When I brought it up to A she went to regrets. Tell the truth so did I. B has been on my mind a lot lately, and she asked if I would do it all over again. I've been a firm believer in the "no regrets" theory. I believe that even if it hurt that hopefully we learned from it and it helped make us who we are today. The situation with B is different though. It's done more than just hurt. With all of that said, I loved stronger than ever before, yes, I would do it all over again.
Last night A was "cleaning house" and burning a lot of documents. With the posssibility of it being the last cold night before summer I also took advantage of the fire. I finally burnt all the letters and cards I had from B. I was going to send them to him, but he would just throw them away without even looking at them. They meant so much more to me, so it was my job to take care of them. She asked if I would regret doing that later. Honestly, no. I have them all memorized by now anyway and the only reason to keep them around would be when I wanted to cry. That's all they did anymore. I no longer need to read them to know what they said. I don't need the proof anymore. What I need is to let go, and I'm trying as best I can.

On a side note, I owe HS Commons an apology. My reply to your comment was harsh. I'm not the happiest with your gender at this point and time. I don't need a guy around to fix stuff. I want a guy around to share stuff. No excuses though, Sorry.
