no regrets

my friend corey wrote a letter to his past self last week.
i couldn't stop thinking about it.
i got on my computer and wrote a letter to my past self. my self of july 2009. the mindy who was recently shocked by returning to america and to the "real world" and who was so awkward it made even her uncomfortable.
and as much as i'm sure all of you would get a laugh out of my past year, i will not be posting it online. that's too bad, huh? steal my computer, look up "dear mindy of july" in my documents, and secretly read it. otherwise, sorry. not sharing.
what i realized is that i have very few regrets from the past year.
i regret not getting my TB test and CPR card into the nursing department on time. i regret not doing my assessment in my first validation. it would have saved me a lot of tears and frustration.
i regret letting other people form opinions for me and not getting to know a few really great friends sooner than i did.
but that's about it. no regrets except those.
i was able to give away my heart this year. and get it broken. but i don't regret it.
i was so stressed out and busy that i hardly spent a minute at home and hardly had time to think. but i don't regret it.
i said a few really stupid things and made a few mistakes. but i don't even regret those times.
all these experiences brought me to where i am now. mindy of may 2010.
sure, looking back, i think i had a different idea of where mindy of may 2010 would be. i'm not there yet. but i'm happy with the things i got to go through.
i mean, i freaking passed the first year of nursing school without dropping below my 3.6 average. that's got to count for something.
i've made some friends that have changed my life and will continue to be in my life.
so, as far as i see it, mindy of may 2010 has a great life.
i guess that's all.
