A do over, a mulligan, a rewind... wouldn’t it be nice to actually be granted one of these in your lifetime?
When you are 18, once a week would be useful. Everyone has probably said or done something they immediately (or at least the next morning) wish they could take back. Words that hurt someone’s feelings, an action that is so out of character that it makes you cringe to think about it; and of course, that is all you think about.
That something sits in your stomach like a lead balloon.
That moment consumes your thoughts so much that you can’t think about anything else; you feel so bad about it, but of course, as much as you want to, you cannot take it back.
Constantly, you’re replaying that memory, of that moment. You may think, it’ll never go away, it’ll always hurt like this, but I promise, it won’t.
The only thing that will heal it, is time. Everyone has that something they wish they could take back, you’re not the only one. It’ll hurt and bother you for a while, but take it one day at a time.
