I wish I had been wiser when it mattered.
I wish I had been better in ways I can’t undo.
And I wish life had been kinder when I was already breaking.
Some regrets don’t fade.. you just learn to carry them quieter.
Growing up means no applause. Most good deeds go unseen. You learn to solve your own problems. Life is built that way so you don’t get too comfortable, and you fear less, risk more. That isn’t a bleak outlook; it’s the reasonable expectation.
