Well, now I'm just making this a bad habit, aren't I? Some of my answers to the challenge questions are pretty short so I think, instead of doing it everyday like I'm supposed to, I'll do it every other day, cramming 2 questions into one post. Yup. It's not procrastination; it's saving space. xD
Update on Weekly Reads: I'm pretty pathetic with this thing so I haven't even finished one book that I said I was going to read (currently on TFIOS.) I did, however, finish We Were Liars by E. Lockhart yesterday night so expect a review on that soon. I sure hope that this next week, starting tomorrow, will be a more productive reading week than this was.
Day 12: Something that you miss
My old house is a definitely something I miss. It was a one-story, red brick house in a quiet neighborhood. The house faced a small road with the view of my neighbors' houses. Although it was a bit of a cramped community in my opinion, I truly called that place "home". I had to move in 4th grade to the north of that area, where, supposedly it was a "better" area (it was near Washington, D.C.) I lived there for 2 years without my parents; just my brother and grandpa. It was a bleak life and I made no lasting friends. I sunk into depression those years and I guess that has created the person that I am now. Those two years also sparked my interest for reading and drawing; I didn't go out to play with friends a lot so I just stayed at home, watched anime, read manga, read books, drew pictures, etc.
But I went off on a tangent there. Anyway, yeah, although I didn't necessarily like the school/s I was going to when I lived in my old house, I have fondness for it. When I visited it a couple months ago, with the house all empty and renovated (my parents were renting it to people after my brother and I came back to an area nearby), something pulled at my heartstrings. I don't know what it was. I guess I missed that place.
Other than that, I can't remember anything else that I miss. I don't create very strong attachments.
Day 13: Do you have any regrets?
I feel like most people have something they regret in their life, although it's common knowledge that it's bad to have regrets. "You make a mistake, and you move on with life." That's generally the positivity that some people try to send. Of course, I do have regrets. I do regret missing several opportunities and chances that could have benefited me. But I didn't. Because I am a coward.
I could sit here all day typing out all of my regrets but I won't. I have decided I am better than that and my thoughts shouldn't linger on what's already said and done. I'm just going to move on, and not make the same mistake again.
"There's no point in crying over spilled milk."
I believe all people should take this path. I am trying to improve myself as a person, and one tip that I would give to timid people like me is, stop worrying about things that you can't change (like the past) and start taking actions for things you can change.
I hope you have a great day. :) Thanks for reading my blog if you're reading this.
