Decisions in life!!!

[rose]

They say people are in your life for a purpose, a reason and a season. But they are those people who come into your life for a season and disappear leaving you only with memories. Others you lose them on your way due to different circumstances brought about by life.

In life you have let so many people slip away in your lifetime. Do you have any one instance you have regretted ever letting go, a friend you shouldn't have let slip away but you did? Do you think life would have turned out different than it did?

I have lost friends, and I have lost touch with friends. I don't know whether I regret it. In some cases, you can reconnect at any time, in others you can't. Life just goes on, I suppose. And if a friend proved to be less than a friend, perhaps it's a good thing you are no longer in touch.

Yes is the answer to your question.

Yes, I regretted to leave a friend of me alone. She was havong problem with medications and alcoholics. She was not willing to change a single thing in her life and try to get rid of her problems.

When you have to decide, if you go on with a person, who is having a drinking problem, or not, you have to take care for yourself. I was at the point, where I could have lost myself into drugs, if I would have been in contact with her.

I decided to take more care for myself than for her.

Well we have a lot of regrets in life. Even if I wish to I can't undo the past anymore. People just come in go sometimes in our lives. Well all I can do is to look forward and forget about the past.

You're right Reira. Whatever our past is, we have to move on and bounce back if we fall...We can not change time but its just a matter of time to change.

You are right about changing the past - we can't do that. Sometimes when we feel we should make amends, apologize or perhaps explain something, we can make a phone call or write a letter; it may or may not help to deal with the situation. If it does not, or if it is not possible to contact the person, we should move on.

Changing the past... That idea has always fascinated me... Anyhow, nothing done can be changed alright. I never really regretted leaving friends. I can't do something about it many times anyways. Some left me because they are forced to and and I have left some of them because not that I wanted to but I needed too as well.

We just have to keep moving forward. After all we can still learn from our past and do some improvements in the years to come in case you are into the same situation.

I have a close friend that I've lost touch with. In that case I had some regrets, and I think he had a major change in his thinking, divorcing his wife and seeming to be more distant from his immediate family.

It would probably be awkward to see him now.

[Lissy]

I have lost friends because of some unpleasant situations in which they showed a different side of themselves. There were two cases like that. I hold no grudges, and if we met again, I would try to talk to them as if nothing happened, but I think there would be an awkward feeling. Something important is gone - trust, perhaps? - and it can't be replaced.
