The Redeemed Woman: Transmuting Regret Into Beauty

"Remember, there is no life without death. So with the death of regret, because I am anxious to kill this motherfucker, what must be created out of its demise?

This answer will vary from person to person, but for me, the answer is beauty in the form of a life worth living. Because if it wasn’t for me expecting and receiving beauty in exchange for my pain I probably would’ve killed myself a long time ago. That remorse cuts deep into the soul, but it was the hope that a rose would grow from my concrete that has kept me alive."
