More could have been done.
More should have been done.
More would have been done, if YOU would have refused to maintain the mediocrity, hypocrisy, and tradition that you were accustomed to. Your “best”, was not.
It was your excuse.
It was your justification.
It was your scapegoat.
It was how you lived with yourself.
It was the lie you told yourself to attempt to make yourself feel better.
To make yourself look better.

Fun fact: You will rarely “regret” having done the “best” that you can do. Because when you do your “best”, you do the everything and the all things possible in a situation. There is nothing to regret there. However, when you refused to step outside of what YOU chose as a comfort zone, and allowed less than the more that you could have done, to be the action you took, one day you will regret that. One day you will have to face that. One day someone will confront you about that.

We are all human. Humans make mistakes.

Humans also make choices. Those choices don’t have to be the worst thing you could do. Those choices don’t have to be the least that you could do. Those choices don’t have to be the nothing that you could do.

We have to do better. We have to do more. We have to do something. It’s way past time. And we know what to do. We know what needs to be done.

We’re just rebellious.
We’re afraid.
We’re comfortable.

We’re hiding secrets and harboring hurt.

We’re hurting. We’re stressing. We’re fighting. We’re losing.

More than we have to.
