We all have them. Some are the results of a night of drinking too much, others are felt by simply looking back and thinking “I should of done that when I had the chance. Instead here I am with a bad case of herpes and a fridge full of leftover spaghetti sauce”. For me a lot of it is the former, by the way; my fridge is fairly empty.
But I wanted to talk about what I feel is possibly the biggest regret I have; that I have an inability to keep in contact with people I know. This is both friends and family, sad to say. I just lack the motivation to make a phone call or send a text. I find it hard to get out and hang out with someone for the day. I have many friends but I just don’t see them, ever. It’s not for lack of wanting to, it’s just that I feel apathetic about everything. I really feel like I need to pull my finger out and do something.
Same goes for my family; I periodically get letters from my grandmother who lives out in Berri. Yet for years (I’d go so far as to say a decade) I have never sent her a letter back. Back then it was okay because I saw her every school holidays, but now I’m working and don’t have the time it’s become painfully obvious that I need to do so. I haven’t seen her for a couple of years and the only contact we have is via the very occasional phone call.
You could call this a letter to myself about the matter, or an apology to those who are included in the above group of people (Hi Craig, Denai, etc). I promise to try and catch up with you soon.
What are your biggest regrets, if you have any?
