five regrets

i have an innate distrust of online memes espousing life wisdom using comic sans sarif fonts. is that wrong?

it is because of this distrust that i am choosing to transcribe these reported five regrets of dying people here, instead of inserting a pre-formatted meme of some sort dragged from google images.

(and, full disclosure, this is something that i read about just today on postsecrets. so not super original.)

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish I had let myself be happier.

but for number one on that list – which i maintain is not a forever thing and is the right thing for now – i think i’ve got a fairly decent handle on the rest. i think.

that feels pretty good, tbh.
