I find myself coming across posts with people voicing regrets more often than saying what they don’t regret so I thought I might try something a little different….
–I don’t regret not going away to school. It was an option, I chose to stay and didn’t finish. Everything happens for a reason and wasting 60K+ and not having a clue what career I wanted seems not so smart…
–I don’t regret the mistakes I made with a certain guy. You live & you learn right? It made me appreciate what I had even more and it also made me see how shitty some men can be…
–I don’t regret making the decision to go to Thailand instead of moving to Florida to live near my real father and work for him. I got to see places in the world I had only dreamed of instead of ending up in an office working hard to impress my father.
–I don’t regret the trip I took with K, that almost ruined our friendship. When all was said and done we go to do so much and even though it was a mess for most of it I don’t regret getting to see 5 different countries and try tons of new things.
–I don’t regret letting go of that toxic friendship and refusing to pick it up again. She was never a good friend to me and I never knew how to let it go…but I did and even though it still lingers and she is still around I never want to go back down that road again.
–I don’t regret deciding to stay in Chicago and not immediately rushing right back abroad when things got tough. This one actually took the past couple months to really confirm that I am ok with that decision. If I had run right back I may not have worked things out with The Boy, I may have missed some amazing moments with my family.
–I don’t regret blogging. At times I have worried that what I say on here could bite me in the ass, especially some things I wrote in the beginning but it has always been honest and blogging generally makes me happy!
What are some things you don’t regret??
toxic relationships are the worst. i let go of mine and i've never looked back. like you, they're still there and we're polite but it's nowhere near what it used to be because i refuse to let it.

I agree on sticking it out in Chicago! It would have been easy to take a different bar and start over somewhere else, but I'm glad I stayed here. And definitely about the toxic friends. I dumped one a few months ago and it's been amazing ever since. No more drama!
I feel the same way about not going away to school. There were times when it was hard and I felt like I was missing out… but I had great experiences regardless!
