"Counting My Regrets To Pass The Time"

"Counting My Regrets To Pass The Time"
I pulled this from the YOLO prompt post because it stuck out to me. In a way its kind of a caution, I suppose, and a sort of end game evidence that the whole YOLO thing should be embraced. Again, I find the whole YOLO phenomenon to be pretty abrasive, and really, I think people do enough stupid shit on their own that they don’t really need a permission giving mantra to act a fool. My opinion.

But, as I stated in the Yolo post, I have spent the better part of my life being an overly cautious person. Ironically, I have probably made more stupid and life altering mistakes than the majority of the population will ever have a bad dream about. I think as good a reason as any for these senseless mistakes is repression. That is too say, trying to be so careful that life becomes all frustrating and weird, until all that spontaneous energy finally has to spill over somewhere, for good or ill.

I have had instances where that "I finally snapped" moment to indeed result in a positive outcome: kiss the girl, stand up to the asshole, break the proverbial ties that bind, etc.. Unfortunately, without a little bit of practice with relaxing and taking the world by storm, more often than not these bubble over points are usually marked by some very unpleasant consequences.
