Missed My Chance

"If only that was...,I would have...." "What if it happened this way?Maybe...." "If only I could turn back the hands of time,I guess..." The list goes on and on....

At one point in their lives,people tend to do things they feel sorry about sooner or later.They end up remorseful than ever and wish those awful things have not happened at all.

I am one of those guilty who wish things to be different...If only I had done something to alter the course of events.Bu the thing that keeps recurring in my life-the thing I am most remorseful of-is not taking the chance presented upon me, either by destiny itself or just a consequence of the action I have taken.I am guilty of not taking into consideration the importance of those things which,in some way or another, would have actually made a difference in my life..I failed in a sense that I neglected to see the value of people,things or opportunities that basically was just right in front of me..

I pride myself in believing that I'm a fair judge of character.I usually would make a remark or two after I assessed firsthand person's character,especially when that character is so out of what I considered to be the norm.But after I contemplate my own character,I realize I am also a person to be commented upon.I myself fall short on being grateful for the instances in which I should have been grateful for.Maybe I am a conceited person for I have not given what is supposed to be the due in those instances or maybe I am simply arrogant who see things i a different light,armed with my own idiosyncrasies or personal peculiarities and what I considered to be right...

Despite my reasons, I know I have crushed the opportunities that could have made a turning point in my life....I am guilt-ridden for I know that those chances might have led me to a different path in my relationships with people, my perspective on things, and my views with life...

Regrets are always last and all of us know that we can never get back the things we have missed.But then again,whose door should we lay the blame upon but our own...What we can do is to reflect to the past,get over it,and be constructive and decisive with our actions i the future should such situation arise.Hopefully, no one will be saying "I missed my chance" again,for I believe that it is never too late for anyone..
