Regret

What do I regret? I don’t think I regret my past. I don’t regret my mistakes. I have learned valuable lessons from every heart ache. What I do regret is not appreciating moments enough. I regret not feeling enough. I regret not allowing myself to be overcome both by joy and sadness. I regret my own repression. I regret teaching myself not to feel because when I can no longer hold it back, the pain is so much worse, the happiness so unsustainable, I wish to always feel that way. I regret imprisoning myself.
