Regrets

Now regret is something I try my best to avoid. I love to live life to the best of my abilities and that includes not regretting things I have done, or what I have not done. But for some random reason my brain has decided it wanted to go on memory lane, triggered by...nothing it seems.
This memory lane has me actually, well I wouldn't say regretting but since I lack a better word, I will say regretting not doing something when I had an opportunity handed to me on a delicious platter.

Not to dive too deep into what this certain memory/regret may be exactly, but vague details entail that it happened in Vegas (ha!). Catching the eye and attention of a special entertainer. Giving said person my phone number (definitely not expecting it to actually be used). And receiving a message from said person saying they were done with practice and would like to see me. Well, I did take the opportunity to see said person that night, but alas, circumstance did not allow more than a 10 minute meeting before other events took place and we never got to see each other again.

Sure, they would message me now and then, and I would respond because well, they became a great friend to talk to albeit short conversations. By then I had also gotten into a relationship and so had they so nothing shall ever come of them and I.

Which leads to this morning's random memory and the "what-if" thought that has now been annoying me. Sure I have had said thoughts in the past and have been able to push them aside since it wasn't something that needs to be thought about. *Get that brain?? Stahp!* Now I am not saying that if they were to contact me I would be inclined to want to do anything (I mean sure I would, but I am past all that now), but I wouldn't turn down a chance to get coffee and catch up like friends would. Ah well, C'est la vie
