Easy to acquire but dreadful to leave behind

Regret, So easy to acquire but so hard to carry and much more dreadful to leave behind, regret is when we live in the past, in the beautiful world of what ifs, and there's nothing wrong to stay there for a while, why would I let go of my past when everyone I ever loved are still there,

But, there's another side of this story, Its nice to feel nostalgic for a while, but if you keep visiting your past, eventually its gonna become a part of your present, but the thing is, your past was filled with people but what you carry in the present is just a hollow mosaic of their memories, enough to keep you occupied but not to make you fulfilled, 

you cannot keep waiting for people, its just the way life is, because if you do, what will happen to those who are waiting for you, counting on you, while you live your life in hallucinations of what once was your Utopia, people are suffering and being abandoned because of your selfishness. 

You have to understand that past is temporary and useless, its what you carry in the present that makes it meaningful, be it a lost game, a gross breakup, or a loss of a loved one, regrets is only gonna make it worse, be that as it may, the regret is not because they are not here anymore, but because you were not with them enough, but trust me, every moment counts, maybe you being there with them was more than enough, 

there's this beautiful quote by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), "Do not grieve, for what was written for you was never meant to miss you", having patience is essential, patience is not when you wait for something to happen, but more about how you behave while you wait for it, so be patient, you'll get it, and if you don't you'll get something better,

 "jo aapke mann ka hota hai woh accha hota hai, par jo aapke mann ka nahi hota woh aur bhi accha hota hai, kyuki woh ishwar ke mann ka hota hai"

I would never write anything I wouldn't hear myself, perhaps I write things for myself but always forget to come back to them, so if you're reading this, please make sure that I hear this when I need to.
