"I don't have many regrets because I worked through I lot of them. I got a few, but there's really nothing you can do but accept them after a certain point. I mean you're going to fuck your life up. That's what human beings do. We're here to make a mess and then reckon with that mess and see if we can stand on top on that pile of shit and say, 'Yeah, I'm okay with this. I did the best I could. I made some mistakes, but this is my pile of shit. If you don't mind, I'm going to build a house out of it. I'm going to build a house out of the rubble of my pile of shit, live in it, and proudly decorate it on the holidays.'"

My head is supposed to explode next week. It should be exploding now, but it isn't. That's how bad my procrastination is.
Listening to Seven Years by Count Bass D while the wind blew through the trees was the most perfect experience I've had recently. Must do again.
My friend drew this for me:

I've been dreaming about my purse lately. I end up losing it and being frustrated or worried.

By having a ceremonial burial for your burdens, you can take a symbolic step toward getting rid of them. It may remind you that you can get through anything as long as you bury it and move on.
Steps- Ask all the mourners to arrive in their black clothes so the ceremony can begin promptly. Suggest they bring a change of clothing so they can leave in less mournful attire.
- Have everyone sit somewhere peaceful or somber so they can reflect on all the burdens in their lives. After a few minutes of quiet contemplation, give each person a pen and note cards. There should only be one burden per note card, and you should only use one side.
- When everyone has written their burdens, take them to the burial ground in a solemn procession and circle the grave.
- Light the candle. Explain that it symbolizes faith, trust, surrender, and hope. (This can apply in either a religious or more general sense.)
- Begin with one of your burdens first, since you are the Mistress/Master of Ceremonies. Read it out loud to the group, light the edge of the paper with the candle, and let the ashes fall into the grave. When burning, say, "Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. I relinquish my burden because I must." (Repeat the phrase together after each burden is read.) Then either pass the candle to the next mourner or hold the candle throughout the ceremony and instruct the next person to read theirs. Keep going around until all the burdens are gone.
- Cover the grave and give each mourner a note card that has the following inscription: "Goodbye burdens, I don't need you anymore, I am complete as I am. The longer I hold on to you, the harder it is to stand. I don't need a crutch, I can walk on my own. I don't need burdens in my life, so just leave me alone." Join hands with one another. "So, hand in hand we walk away and turn our backs to your grave. We're free from all our burdens now; we are not your slaves. No more burden, anxiety, or guilt. Finally we are free. There's nothing weighing me down now. I'm happy just being me!"
- Lead your procession away from the grave and change from your mourning clothes to your happier attire.
- Go on in life without these burdens and be happy.
