Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made...

Title is from Adele's song Someone Like You. I've got her album 21 on constant replay at the moment, which is probably a huge mistake as a couple of songs on there are thought provoking...but I'm loving the album too much to stop.

Anyway this particular lyric struck a chord. 'Memories made' to me implies you can think of them with something akin to acceptance or resignment. I'd love to think of my regrets and mistakes like that instead of them being past moments/events which sometimes when remembered still cause deep distress....note slight exaggeration going on here, some of them when remembered just cause deep embarrassment and shall never be spoken of.

But then I'm a believer in fate, whatever things I did or didn't do/paths I took or didn't take, distressing/embarrassing, led me to the life I have now. It's not perfect by any means but it's pretty okay. So I'll be alright with my regrets and mistakes being memories made but being the person I am, I'm sure sometimes they'll still cause distress and most definitely embarrassment.

And to totally digress but inform....writer's block still very much ongoing unfortunately. I have the story ideas, it's stringing the words together coherently that eludes me, very frustrating.

And another digression but one related to original topic....Lady Antebellum's Need You Now just came on Ipod, that line...said I wouldn't call but I lost all control...bad bad seriously bad embarrassing memories!!!
