Today I wrote an e-mail ending a newly started friendship. In the end, it wasn't a friendship that would be good for me and it didn't make sense to me to delay the inevitable. I hit the send button and I was feeling okay, but the more I thought about it, I started to regret that I sent the e-mail. But, the damage was done and there are no "take backs" when it comes to these things.
I remember the days when I was little when life seemed to be full of "do-overs" and "take backs." It almost seemed that any mistake back then could be erased. But, now as an adult I feel as though life is so permanent. Maybe it's because events of late are weighing heavily on me and maybe it's because I just did something that I regret and can't really take it back. Whatever the reason, it makes me sad.
