forget regret

EDIT: click the photo to see all three frames, i'm not sure why you can't see all of them here.
i am not liking the angst of the guy in the last frame. he looks like he regrets his 2008.
in life there is no need for regret that is more than transitory. yes, you can feel stupid and embarassed about having done something, but in the long run everything that happens makes you more who you are. you learn from your mistakes, and you don't do it again. or at least you think before doing it a second time.
and whatever happens that is out of your control, well, you couldn't have done anything about it anyway. don't live your life wondering 'what if i had done this?' or 'what if this hadn't happened?' because even though you may not like what you did or what happened to you, something came out of it that changed you for the better and made you who you are now.
living your life under the shadow of regrets is no way to live at all. it makes you miss the good stuff.
