I don’t regret my past. It shaped me, taught me, and gave me the strength I carry today. My only regret is the time I spent on people who never deserved even a second of it — the ones who took my kindness as weakness, my presence as guaranteed, and my sincerity as something to play with.
But even that regret holds meaning. It reminds me that not everyone who smiles is a friend, and not everyone who stays deserves a place in my life. It reminds me to protect my time, my peace, and my heart with a little more care.
Now I walk forward with clearer eyes and a quieter heart. I no longer chase, I no longer cling, and I no longer offer my time to those who only know how to waste it. I choose people who choose me — genuinely, consistently, wholeheartedly.
Because life is short… and I finally know the value of my time.
