I really don't like the sound of living with regret, but it's my reality and if I had the moment to go back in time I would and totally change my decisions. Below are a few things that I often wonder what if about and the last is just an experience from yesterday lol. One thing I learned, is to take the opportunity while its mine and experience it to the fullest.

Quitting the Track Team in High School: As a young girl I would love to race all the neighborhood kids. It felt so natural to speed through the street laughing and having a good time. In high school I made the track team and went to practice, but I didn't like the way the Coach talked to me and demanded that I take a field sport. I remember I just wanted to run, but the Coach put her foot down and I was holding my ground, full of frustration, I stormed off and quit the team. I often wonder about the what ifs and if my passion was to just run, why didn't I just do the long jump and call it a day. Oh well!

Dropping Math in College: Math is literally the subject that's holding me back from obtaining my degree. Its something about math that sends my mind into crazy mode and then boom instant headache. I never have been good in math and I winged it all through high school, and all the easy breezy classes. The longer I avoided math, the more advanced it got and that pushed me to be more behind. I should have just taken the darn math classes in the beginning, so that I could have adjusted and got a tutor and been on my way, but nope I had other plans. Those other plans are working out for me, but I still live with the could of, would of, and should of's.

Getting My Eyebrows Tinted: I don't know if it was the eyebrow piercing that was inspired by Sisqo from Dru Hill or the nail shop thin arch phase, that caused my brows to be so wack lol. Over the years I have been getting them threaded to train them to grow in a pattern that I like but the process is a struggle. I saw products on Instagram where eyebrow tinting can help you achieve the eyebrows of your dreams. I found a placed on Yelp and decided to give it a try. After all I had been putting it off because I was nervous and I decided to just go for it, to get it out of my system. I sat down got my brows threaded as usual and then the lady applied some solution and then painted on the tint and said okay now wait 10 minutes. It was burning in 3 minutes, but I had to tough it out because I wanted eyebrow perfection lol. The lady wiped off the tint and was like okay look, and I looked in the mirror and saw thick, black, & uneven brows. I was DEVASTATED, but I asked her to make them even and she did and I was just not satisfied at all. I paid and ran out of that salon as fast as could, I'm sure eyebrow tinting may work out for some but for me it was a major fail and not my style at all.
