It’s OK to regret.
It's natural, right.
Just don’t stay there.
Don’t make it your new home.
Let it be a milestone that passes and fades in the distance.
A stop with a plaque.
A part of the journey, but not the destination.
A part of you, but not the whole.
Learn from it and grow.
There will be a next time.
A chance to do better.
And even if you fall short again, give yourself grace.
