'If' is a very dangerous word. It takes us down the memory lane, into the fantasy world, where we potray the life as we wanted to have. That life is much prettier, much happier and that is because all the things fell in their exact place with no chance for repair. That is what we always wanted. Picture Perfect.
But. Yes, the grand, universally hated, famous 'BUT'.It screws up everything, doesn't it? It brings us back to the present and makes us realise that things are not as we had wished them to be. Infact, not even close. To our fortune or misfortune, the 'If' things did not happen, and that is why we are the way we are.
Everyone regrets something. That is where the 'If" story begins. The important thing to know is that these 'Ifs' are our past. We cannot change them, come what may (except if we have Hermione Granger's time turner :-P). Just as you are reading this, realise that you are living another moment, another minute, that you are never getting back again, and it has passed already till you have finished reading this sentence. So why are we wasting our time on what we cannot change? Remember always, Life does not allow us to give retrospective effect. We have to live in the moment.
This is one of the many realisations I have had in the recent days. I believe everyone has a list of things that they want in their life. It may be regarding our life partner, our career, why to think so big? Even about a stupid haircut. However, because of some circumstances, we fail to get them. We might end up getting even the exact opposite. That does not mean it is the end of the world. Accept these things with open arms. Welcome them into your lives. Things happen for a reason and for good. They come for a cause, for betterment. If you do this, believe me, you will start loving them.
The picture will be slightly different than you had potrayed, but the new will be a better one.You know why? Because when this new picture will be up for display, you will see yourself grown into it. You will see your happy and sad times, your struggles, your hardwork, your realisations, your life. And even if you still regret some things, you would have also learned to live with it.
