Life's Too Short to Live - Veronika Kirsanova

Life’s Too Short To Live 

 

with regret.

 

There is something nestled in regret,

deep within its generations of feelings,

that stems from more than

just the decision that was made

and the reasoning behind the choice.

​

Regret is the aftershock of the earthquake,

Dorothy waking up from her personal tornado,

the moment when the tide starts to recede

after the hurricane forces the unconsenting waves

to become those of destruction.

​

Regret fosters a moment of reliance

and vulnerability,

of fear and shame,

gratitude and existentiality.

Contradiction and Corroboration:

 

...

 

“it’s different"

silence.

 

...

​

immature and confused.

          those two emotions affect you.

                                                  unrealistic, 

                                                      inconsiderate, 

                                                  indecisive,

           verbalizing everything you do,

 and all of your confusion, 

​

to the very person you’re confused

about, the very thing that confuses you.

Denial and Confirmation:

...

​

“tell me what you want

i’ll do anything to please you

to help you

to fix you”

 

“i don’t want you in my life”

 

“what do you want?”

 

“you.”

silence. 

​

...

​

the worst decisions ever made 

always start

with saying to   

"l i v e

with no

'regret".

​

But, life is too short to live with these feelings.

Life is too short to try to fix and repair and beg and hope.

Life is simply too short to truly live at all.
