Action not taken

Daily writing prompt
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

I wish I had offered enough compliments to my loved ones while we were still friends.

I wish I had the wisdom to find joy even in hard times, knowing that too shall pass.

I wish I had taken nothing for granted.

We often assume our fulfillment and happiness will last forever, but nothing is immortal.

That is why time is so special,
and why we are filled with regrets:
not only for the things we’ve done,
but more so for the things we wish we had done.
