With my last breath I will not regret the decisions I've made. I will not regret counting memories over calories. I will not regret failing to care about the people who were not impressed by me while I was caring for those who loved me. I will not regret attacking challenges head first rather than wasting time on those who live their lives attacking others to cover their insecurities.
I will not regret living my life because I lived it with the understanding that it was a one time shot. It was mine to live under the guidance of a loving God and with the support of cherished friends and family. It was mine to experience, not theirs to control. It was mine to use to the fullest, not theirs to judge.
With my last breath I will not cry for those who hurt me or were hurt because of me. If I have offended, I rest in the assurance that my intent was not malicious and my humble apologies should suffice. If not, that’s not my burden to carry. I hold no responsibility for the obsessions of others.
I will not regret the times I earned the occasional “B” when I chose to spend time with my beloved over time with my books. My value comes not from my accomplishments, but from those my life has blessed. It’s a sad thing to spend precious moments worried about the petty over the people
With my last breath I will not regret standing firm in my convictions, failing to bend in order to appease. If I have lost friends, they were not mine to have. If I gained respect, then I will accept that as a bonus for my time. I was not born to cower to the demands of the aggressive or to become a pawn in their plan.
WIth my last breath I will cheerfully applaud those, who like me, lived their life to the fullest until that final exhale. I will smile at the strong in spirit and resolute in faith. I will be grateful for my time among the passionate, the brave of heart. I will go, ever thankful that I have loved, been loved, and have practiced love as it was offered to me.
With my last breath, I will remain a soul at peace.
What will your last breath be?
