View Full Version : How many tPFers are beating themselves up over something that wasn't their fault?
For 47 freaking years...
"But the shooting had wounded his psyche. On far too many nights he lay awake wondering if Kennedy would still be alive if he hadn't paused to shake a busboy's hand."

Some things are hard to get over, even if it's not your fault. Survivor's guilt, just questioning yourself over choices you have made.
I love life. Every day is an adventure. I have regrets sure. Some of those regrets aren't my fault, most are. Sure, I beat myself up over them. Not to the point where it stops me from living. The next adventure is just around the corner, it always is, you never know where life will take you if you let it. I've got a million stories, and I'm still young, I want millions more before I die, and when I die, I want only that people know that I lived life. Shit yeah, I've fucked up along the way, and shit has happened to me that isn't my fault. But my greatest goal is to make God say, "Holy shit how drunk was I when I unleashed YOU on Earth?"
I love my life, everyone should. It's an adventure, and if you aren't having an adventure, you aren't living. If you can't fuck everything up spectacularly if you fail, life is too safe for you and you need to go explore!
