Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.

so many prompts around regrets at the moment WP – what you trying to do to us!

start off with the stock answer of “no regrets, only lessons” but as much as I’d love to believe that it’s bullshit.

I regret taking a risky chance and ending up in an abusive, life draining relationship for a number of years – yes, lessons were learned/learnt (meh) but I’m sure I could have figured the same things out without all that drama and spirit crushing thanks 👍🏼

but it never stopped me taking risks and chances – what’s the point in playing it safe. better to take a risk and have it fail than sit around wondering surely? I’m not talking about gambling your whole house on red or being stupid with your wellbeing but the ones you can recover from…go for it.

best risk I ever took – against all the best intended advice, was to get engaged and married within a 9 month window after meeting my now husband over the phone at work.

this relationship pre-dated ‘proper’ internet dating and everyone was, perhaps rightly, mega suspicious if you didn’t meet in a pub or a club whilst drunk out of your skull or high as a kite.

I knew. in my bones, i knew. It will be twenty years  soon and I look forward to celebrating with my favourite ever risk, my rock, my sense of reason, my grounding, my home and safe space in an ever tumultuous life🤘🏼
