I don't have a lot of regrets. I've learned to live life this way.
But if I can reverse the clock back in time, there are things I do want to change.
One thing in particular:
There was this boy,
He was involved in an accident that made it necessary for him to have a ‘pee bag’ with him wherever he goes.
To put it mildly: he didn't smell best.
On top of that,
he also has this playful twinkle in his eyes and a way of laughing,
that were more often met with annoyance rather than reciprocated with playfulness.
We used to be so unkind to him.
We weren’t actively bullying him, I don’t think,
But we just wanted to stay away from him.
I now imagine how hurtful it must’ve been,
For a kid who couldn’t change who he was,
But was exiled because of it.
If time could wind back,
I would want to be better educated on his condition
And I would invite our classmates to change our attitude towards this guy.
There are so many things in his life that he couldn’t control;
He is making do, his style.
And we could be supportive rather than pushing him aside.
Moving forward,
It is a personal mission to be kinder and meet people with more compassion.
