There’s a time in your life when you have to stop looking back and start looking forward because otherwise you’re going to walk down the road one day and bump into a lamppost. But it’s not easy.

Sometimes you do things you regret, but there’s nothing you can do about them. Times change. Doors close behind you. You move on.

Huizi would say, never look back to the past. Never regret. Even if there is emptiness ahead, never look back.

Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written, or you didn’t go swimming in those warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.

You can’t regret the life you didn’t lead.

Poor creatures. What did we do to you? With all our schemes and plans?

You’d think, ‘What if I make a mistake today, I’ll regret it’. I don’t believe in regret, I feel everything leads us to where we are and we have to just jump forward, mean well, commit and just see what happens.
