No Regrets..



I want to live life through every moment. I feel that through our journey of life and love and travels, time passes continuously on and we are swept away daily by new loves and new ideals on life. We meet new people, let them into our lives, travel around the world and let the places we go become slowly a piece of who we are. We grow and change; we take a step back at times in order to see the course with all its windy roads behind us. We assess our new loves, we make choices to transform and we alter our road depending on who we meet and what we see along the way.



I have had the opportunity to figure this out as I go. I have slowly opened my heart to letting go of norms or standards that our society demands of us. Living life with no regrets. I have struggled at times with giving too much of my heart away. I felt that maybe if I held back, maybe not went all in, then it wouldn’t be as bad if the course went the direction of opposite. The direction that it was always meant to go, yet not clear to me yet as to why. I have realized through the times of jumping into the deep end, through the times of moving to random places, loving another with all I have, quitting my job and giving up my title, travelling to foreign lands, to unknown territory….with this all I have realized that I will continue to do so. I will live with no regrets even when I made the wrong call.



I think for us all, when life plays out differently than we expected, we instantly analyze if we have made the right decision. If we made the right call as to what is right for us and ultimately what is right for the ones we love. We may or may not regret things we have done or didn’t do. We may struggle with why and when, but I have realized that it doesn’t matter. Regret can overcome and make our reality foggy and take away from what we know in our heart to be true for ourselves.



No regrets. Believing that if we get a job offer and it doesn’t pan out, or if we plan a move and at the last minute our steered in the opposite direction, if we give up all we have to be with the one we love, through these times I believe in having peace that it is the way it is supposed to be. I am excited to jump off the deep end once again. I am excited for the unknown road and uncharted territory that is ahead. I will surrender to this life with no regrets and hold your hand as we jump off the cliff.
