Less than Adequate Daredevil

It has occurred to me that there are some things in life I can certainly cross off my Bucket List. One of them being ,'become a daredevil'. My stunts are seemingly less than adequate. I can't ride a skateboard, motorcycle or drive and I can't surf. I have trouble standing still for too long and I have to check my right knee cap hasn't slipped out of it's place sometimes. I'm the least wild person on the planet. Sure, I'll avoid paths where I can and I'll walk through the woods at night but it's fine. Some times, I won't look where I am going when I cross the road or I'll use a knife to get a piece of toast out of the toaster. And once I put a spoon in the microwave. wild.

But to be fair, those are all potentially life threatening little things that I do more or less on an every day basis. Apart from the microwave and the spoon, it was like a firework, beautiful, glittery and cut the power from the downstairs of my house, uncool. But I do do them, and the fact that they could kill me just kinda demonstrates how much I don't really value the life I have and instead maybe I'll shove some metal in a toaster and kill myself. It's stupid. I should really take more care, or practise what I've been taught growing up. I can be obedient, like a dog but a tad less dribbly and I don't eat from the floor, but I will listen and do as you tell me... as long as I am supervised, the Internet is my weakness. It's ridiculous.


I love regret. A lot of people won't understand that straight off, but trust me it's one of the most important things in our lives that we have in order to learn. I've said some very stupid, inappropriate and just plain silly things, I won't lie to you. If you say you haven't well, no one likes a liar. I've made my self look like a fool on so many occasions it hurts. In my heart. But the fact I regret those words or those actions make sure that I won't do that thing again or I'll do it a different way which is ultimately better. I hate the saying 'Live life without any regrets'. Bullshit. Regret is so important. Regret is the guilt, we need a bit of guilt and conscience to give us a teeny bit of morals right? Without acknowledging regret you are ignorant, and choose to ignore that fact that you may have hurt someone or hurt yourself before and don't want to face the realities. And to be quite honest that seems all rosy and lovely, aside from the tiny fact we aren't in land of the fairies, which breaks my heart. Every day.

And so ladies and gentlemen, relish in regret and NEVER stick mental into plug sockets.
