No Title, Yet - 37

As I sit here alone gathering my thoughts, I can’t help but think of the things that have passed me by. Some of those memories could make one a bit distraught, But I’m well aware that I’m the one who did not try. I’m the one who did not try hard enough for that job. I’m the one who did not try hard enough for that trip. Between Peter and Paul, I chose Peter to rob. I chose which bills I would pay and which ones I would skip. I don’t think regret is quite the right word to use. Foolish might better describe many choices of my past. Only I can change my ways and I do refuse To accept my future lot has already been cast.

This makes perfect sense to me, Philip. It may not be the best life practices, but you are recognizing that you are responsible for your actions and that in the future you may change your approach to life.
