Apperception
I often reflect on my past faux pas
ownership I’d give up in a heart
beat
club my sea lion skull with do overs
surfing over in my sleep
losing all sense of reality
remaining in frozen riptides
of night terrors
or dreams
If given the opportunity
would correcting or opting
another path
a different choice
alter my appercipient
consciousness?
I have actually dedicated some
serious thinking, emotions
to this
I believe nothing would change.
I still would have needed to
learn the lesson sent to me
additionally
I might lose my zeal for living
Every tomorrow, now
will be the first day of
the future for me
& hopefully
we all will be
here or there
to love
touching
gently
enveloped
in kindness

I too think about this sometimes. There are quite a few things that I think, if given the chance to go back, would I change those decisions and actions? Some, yes. Others, now that I am older, no. With a lesson well learned, you gain wisdom and the ability to move forward. Thought provoking piece, Tallen.

If i am honest,
Yes, i would change some things
choose the other path.
Nearly all self reflection is deep
as often we try to bury some of those memories.
Appreciate the thoughtful comments and read

Though I would love to change things I’ve done , all the choices I’ve made right or wrong , have led me here. All my experiences good or bad spill out in words. So in a way maybe all my struggles were meant to be.

I think the majority would not change
a thing.
& I believe You might be right about the
<< every move we made in our past,
has led us here >>
thank You for sharing Your thoughts

I’m right there with AspergerPoet, wouldn’t change anything, despite maybe regretting it because it’s made me who I am. Beautiful poem, Tallen❤️

i want to be all que sera & woke but laaaaaaawd no lol
if i could wipe out the last six months ov my life, i would return to 0.0 & just walk a different path
think that might be part ov the growing pains or growing up or something...
... it's a thought provoker, that's for sure

I can see how more recent choices we might want to change or choose a different path
as these outcomes are fresh for us.
Probably would alter us later on down the road
but no way to tell or imagine what wonders the universe has for us
or if we might have to learn the lesson again.
Excellent share, shadoe -- thank You

Of all the things that I've done & been through, when asked if I have any regrets or would I change anything if I could...I look at the gifts I've received in relation to those experiences...and I'd not change anything if it altered those gifts in some way. Wherever my path is taking me, I'm in it for the long haul, forward, not backward, and loving all along the way. Loving the message in this one.

Definitely agree with You
especially on the Gifts
When i think about my pain and all the trauma and grief suffered in my past
I came to a realization this is what tempered my rebellious spirit to a more gentler kind spirit and to tell the truth
i like the kind gentle "me"
So maybe i wouldn't opt out of the negatives
and i used to think what if -- i had finished and used up my scholarship at UCLA? But then i'd probably have never met my Okinawan relatives (joined the USAF and got stationed on Okinawa)
So, You all sharing with me has actually helped me to understand further WHY i would not change a thing.
Super appreciate Your read and share here
thank You, Beautiful Sister

A tough one - but I err on the side of the above comments that past 'mistakes' (ain't hindsight a wonderful thing?) make me what I am today, even though the pain of missed opportunities and mes-read situations sometimes hits hard. I reckon karma runs too deep to be resolved in just one lifetime; we'd probably repeat the same mistakes (in principle, if not in the same contexts). It's the only way to really learn. "You can't put a young head on old shoulders" as my mother said to my father when talking about me.

Love the wisdom of our elders!
Always a tough idea to mull over
the returning to do over and do it right this time
yet having missed out on the lessons.
Very appreciative of Your read and share on this, Brother
thank You

I Love this one, Tallen. It's such a gentle acceptance of lessons learned. So many question and resent their circumstances. They become bitter of their lot. It takes a very spiritually mature person to understand everything and everyone is a teacher.
Well done.
Well done.

there are many things i would have never been able to do had i taken the road less traveled
the easier path.
Additionally, i truly do not believe i would be the gentle kind person i strive to be and keep on being
had i not gone through the pain.
appreciate Your share and kind praise
thank You

A deeply introspective piece, Tallen.
Looking back can really get one to know oneself for the first time.
But I think life is more a constraint of choices than a game of chance.

absolutely agree
and instead of chance
it's choices we make
that eventually contribute to our make-up today
and tomorrow
appreciate the kind shares

Hopefully, You have filled in the potholes on Your
