I don't feel regret because they are not in my life anymore. I do feel regret that the way I acted pushed them away. And that goes for more than just one person.
I'm a different person now, I like to think that I'm a better person. I'll always remember those that slipped away but I refuse to get hung up on them. I want to be able to finally give all of myself to someone else without holding back. I just don't have the energy to keep my shields up because of this fear of being hurt, rejected, or loosing it all. I figure it's just easier to dust myself off when thing get rough than constantly being afraid and never experiencing anything.
So yeah, I miss them, but I don't regret anything that's gone down. It all brought me to where I am now, and I'm getting ever so close to where I want to be.
