2 things

1: I will not reside in the old, though I am getting old, and even as an elder, wrinkled down, I'll live a now life.
2: I hope I can always realise the rich irony in even the darkest moments and laugh an honest king's laugh. Sovereign always. Self ruling. A pyramid of confidence. Not pristine efficiency of action. Just love of me. Though there is no just.

No. Regret is an evil feeling. Self-destructive. Thank the past. But not because it led you here. That is a cop-out way to justify it. Thank it because it is truth.
