Even though your "John" may never read this, it probably felt good to write it. We are all a product of the life experiences we've had. And if you haven't done things you regret, you probably didn't enjoy yourself much either.

That might be because it would be too difficult to recapture the subtlety of his personality, to make it clear why he was so loveable. <br /><br />Or maybe I just haven't gotten around to that yet...Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-32710180445205478902013-08-05T22:29:15.050-04:002013-08-05T22:29:15.050-04:00I still regret the hurt I caused him.

If we could all learn as much from from our past, things would be much easier. So many focus their memories on the negative of breaking up. In doing so, they negate the time they had together, leaving themselves with an overall negative experience of the relationship.
