also anonymous.

[recitings]

i know i certainly do

[madannoshashu]

kind of a pain in the ass when there's no going back to change anything, isn't it?

you feel like sharing?

not anonymous!

[fatefulprincess]

I do think of it. Pretty often, if I am being honest.

[madannoshashu]

yeah?

how'd that end up working out for you?

Anon club

[foolishjustice]

I do. But I also know dwelling on 'what ifs' won't change anything. It's not like I can change the past, after all.

[fatefulprincess]

It's actually kind of depressing. My other options at the time would have meant people dear to me losing.

[madannoshashu]

well, you're not wrong about that

'what if's never got anybody anywhere

[madannoshashu]

life's a bit of a crapshoot, ain't?

you can't make choices without consequences, and sometimes, none of the options are good

[foolishjustice]

But something I've learned here is that considering your regrets can help you avoid repeating them. If you wish you'd done something differently...the next time you have a choice, you know one thing to avoid.

[fatefulprincess]

There are other times where you do things correctly and there are consequences for that as well.

[madannoshashu]

ehh

wouldn't really say i wish i'd done something differently

some days you just get stuck on the 'what if's, and it's annoying as hell

[madannoshashu]

well, sure, there's that too

they don't say it in fairy tales, but there's plenty of heroes and good guys that ultimately finish last

all the fucking time

[foolishjustice]

I know that feeling, too. The worst part about situations were there's 'no wrong answer' is having to pick one when it means you don't get to find out how the others would have gone.

sad anons anonymous

[badluckblues]

i actively try not to.

[oncebrokenway]

All the time.

Anonymous

[sheisthewind]

Sometimes, but I prefer to focus on the opportunities I have now.

[madannoshashu]

any stories you wanna share with the rest of the class?

[teaserving]

i think a lot about what if i wasn't a giant fuck-up and if i had stuck to my guns and been a better person
just idle wishing
nobody can change what they've done though

[madannoshashu]

who doesn't?

'what if's aren't usually very helpful most of the time

[madannoshashu]

why 'all the time'?

[oncebrokenway]

Well
when I think about my life
there's so much that I have, because of the path I did take.

It's not that I regret the path I chose, it's more like... I'm always really, really aware of why I don't?

[huaisang]

Most of the time it's not much of a choice.

anon.

[supersoldier]

Yes.

But that’s expected, isn’t it?
