  1. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another’s failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say; “This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task,” then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) American politician, diplomat, activist; First Lady of the US (1933–45)
    Memoir (1949), This I Remember, ch. 20 “The Last Term: 1944–1945”

  2. #art #dayofthedead #ceramic #painting

    To this day, I regret not buying that Day of the Dead ceramic piece. Another time when I was down in Cozumel, Mx, I passed up a Day of the Dead painting of La Muerta. #regrets

    If I could leave a scribbled message to my younger self it would read, "Buy more art. You won't regret it."

  3. The Fist In My Head

    Someday, sometime,
    I will find
    the key
    to free
    a clenched mind.

    I’ve come to dread
    the fist in my head
    holding tight
    to what I might
    have done or said.

    Where is the release,
    the inner peace
    to let go
    of what I don’t know,
    these closed beliefs?

    Comes a new day,
    I take time to pray,
    write some words
    and like a bird,
    my mind opens and
    flies away.

  4. A quotation from Gracian

    The pillow is a silent Sibyl, and to sleep upon an enterprise avails more than to be sleepless under it.
     
    [Es la almohada Sibila muda, y el dormir sobre los puntos vale más que el desvelarse debajo de ellos.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601–1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 151 (1647) [tr. Fischer (1937)]

  5. Please make the time to spend with your loved ones. We all have the same 24 hours/day. I've met too many people in my death doula work with one common life regret:
    They regret not spending enough time with people they love. It's usually in combination with regrets of putting work/money above quality time with loved ones.

    You can replace money. You can replace jobs.
    Not a single human being can replace lost time with loved ones.

  9. The older you get, the sadder life becomes, because of all the beloved people and things (including your health) you've lost, and the more mistakes you've made and regret.

  10. There was one pic I didn't snap, that I now regret skipping. It was a Canada-motif mitten stuck behind a fence. It was a nice splash of red in the rustic fence boards. Oh well.

  14. A quotation from Cesare Pavese

    I’ve made a lot of stupid mistakes. Everyone does in this life. The real affliction of old age is remorse.

  16. If it wasn't for that, maybe I wouldn't have posted this. This is also to tell my friends that I like to be frank. Hopefully I won't be like that again and also that won't go to Kopi Kenangan again. They don't sell their products but the atmosphere of using their products.

  17. I bought this just because I didn't want to be alone at that time with my ex-friends because there was a meeting at that time. Oh how stupid I was to buy this just so I could mingle with my 'friends' in that community that I'm no longer with.

  18. Really? IDR 25,000 for only a 220 ml cup of coffee? Okay, I admit, I didn't really have a lot of money, but this price was indeed expensive. But what is most regrettable is the reason why I bought this coffee in the first place at that time. I regretted it of course.

  19. This is the first product that I bought from Kopi Kenangan or Kenangan Coffee, one of the largest coffeehouse franchises in Indonesia. So, this was a coffee, yeah of course, but with oat milk from "Oatside". The price was, as you can see in the third photo, IDR 25,000.

  21. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

  22. I broke the only rule when dealing with your regulator, keep your cool when they are being obtuse. Saying "this is industry standard stuff, anyone who has even passing experience with technology should grasp these concepts" was _not_ the correct decision.

    We lost power mid meeting due to the wind storm, drastically increasing my displeasure. An unexpected cost of #ClimateChange

  26. Stop believing that regret is a passive, inevitable feeling; it's a skillfully woven, often unconscious, process that can prolong pain. 😥 #regrets #consequences

  27. Do I regret training to become a Biological Scientist? Yes, hugely so. If I could go back 20 years, would I not do my PhD? Absolutely. I would steer clear of it all. Do I want my kids to train to be scientists? Definitely not. Thank you for coming to my TED talk #regrets

  28. Just a whine/FYI: I wanted to fly across the USA (well, "want" is a strong word, but it was a thing I was going to do) at the end of February. When I looked a week ago, flights were about $400 round trip (USD). A day later they were $600-$700. Now the "basic economy options" for the days and times I need are $800+.

    So maybe I'm not flying, after all.

  29. Damn. I waited 3 days to book my flight and now the cheapest flight is $250 more expensive.

  30. I've just learned that Stanley Kramer, producer and director of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" debated adding a fifth "Mad" to the title but decided against it. And then regretted it for the rest of his career.

    There is a lesson here. Somewhere.

  31. 🥳 Oh, look, another tech bro reminiscing about the time he ignored the chance to become a #crypto billionaire because he was too busy playing with digital doodads! 🚀 Clearly, he’s now animatedly quining his way back to #freelancing, convinced the world cares. 😂

  32. I had a pair of ultra-baggy, acid-washed cargo jeans shorts in ‘94. I don’t know where they went. I’ll never be as comfortable and fashionable again. #regrets
