DON’T LIVE IN REGRET. ACT IN THE NOW.

She hit the dance floor and was met with a compliment on her dance moves by a handsome stranger. As she danced freely to funk music, one of her favourite genres, the stranger laughed: ‘I like you’.  This instantly reminded her of another incident where these exact words were muttered. An incident that saw regret in her eyes. An incident that she remembered so clearly.

She was at that stage in uni where you mingle with different groups of people to see whom you get along with and where you fit in. She wore her System Of A Down t-shirt and played table tennis better than everyone else. He wore a Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt and admired both her taste in music and her athleticism.  She made a joke whilst playing and he laughed with: ‘I like you’.

She always wanted to speak to him more as she knew they’d both get along well. But they were in different cliques at this stage of uni now. And she thought it was too late to start a conversation.

She snaps back to the dance floor.

It clicked. – DON’T LIVE IN REGRET. ACT IN THE NOW.

So she danced with this handsome stranger until it was time for her to leave for work.
