I regret everything I didn&#8217;t do.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ganeshaspeaks.com\/gemini\/gemini-traits.action\">Gemini<\/a> person is kinda like <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yin_and_yang\">Ying &amp; Yang<\/a> &#8211; you always have complementary opinions about something due to your inner conflicting personalities. On the bright side, it makes you a sympathetic person since it&#8217;s easier for you to understand others&#8217; perspectives. However, if you&#8217;re not confident enough, it might turn you into an indecisive person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;m fully me when behind a keyboard or a pencil.<\/strong> That&#8217;s why my poetry book gives so much of me away. When I face someone that read the book I feel awkward, almost transparent or naked, like he or she knows too much. That&#8217;s why I was once called a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/dark%20horse\">dark horse<\/a> by a teacher &#8211; someone no one bets on but ends up winning the race &#8211; because there&#8217;s so much more about me that no one gets to see. And I&#8217;m the only one to blame. Well not the <em>only<\/em> one, I wasn&#8217;t always like this, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/200145-but-that-is-another-story-and-shall-be-told-another\">that&#8217;s another story for another time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So what do I regret? I regret not doing everything I think about saying or doing. <strong>From thought to action I create so many obstacles<\/strong>, so many <em>what ifs<\/em> and <em>maybe I shouldn&#8217;t<\/em> that the opportunity is lost.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lost count to the number of times I thought about doing something and end up doing nothing &#8211; like when I come up with a joke, I think it&#8217;s not good enough or not appropriate, right when someone else says it, and everyone has a laugh&#8230; &#8220;oh, I was just about to say the same thing!&#8221; except I didn&#8217;t, and now you look funny and I look shy.<\/p>\n<p>The number of times I could&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Say &#8220;You look pretty today&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Wave at an old lady by the window<\/li>\n<li>Clearly state my opinion even if it&#8217;s contrary to others&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Walk next to an old friend and don&#8217;t wait for him\/her to notice me<\/li>\n<li>Give a big hug to that friend I really cherish instead of the standard howdy <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And did nothing instead.<\/p>\n<p>What really bothers me is that I think about the actions but lack the courage to perform them. <strong>It&#8217;s like the whole world is watching my every move waiting for something to throw back at me.<\/strong> I know I&#8217;m a happy, playful, passionate, even <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/2ibGU0EnksY\">naughty<\/a> kind of person but it&#8217;s hard for others to believe it soleny based on my actions.<\/p>\n<p>For fear of being unpolite, I&#8217;m neutral. <strong>No one has strong feelings (bad or good) about me because I too don&#8217;t have strong actions.<\/strong> I&#8217;m just average. Once I met this girl that I invited for a walk. Her subtle <a href=\"&quot;http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0752858785\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0752858785&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thegeegec00-20&amp;linkId=Y6HUTT4YGSHBISFT\">body language<\/a> was an indicator that she wanted more. And I wanted too, but <strong>I did nothing<\/strong> besides smiling and being nice. Next day she invited me to dine out and watch a street show. She was right in front of me at an arm&#8217;s distance. I could embrace her, I wanted to, but <strong>I did nothing<\/strong>. That night I hardly slept, thinking about everything that could have been, consumed by regret.<\/p>\n<p>I want to, I know how, I have the opportunities, but I don&#8217;t seize them&#8230; I lack the balls. Don&#8217;t be like me. Do what your guts tell you and do it now. Say sorry later. Life is short and each day a blessing, live it to the fullest. If it helps assume you&#8217;ll be dead tomorrow. You&#8217;ll be astouned with the courage that comes from that thought. Anyway one day you&#8217;ll be right.<\/p>\n<p>So my <strong>main resolution for next year<\/strong> is to fix this sad little behavior: to do what my heart tells me to do and ignore the fears created by my brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I regret nothing I did.
