Loathsome to leave

image from here.

I had always expected the worst, regretted choices, wondered What if?

And now it was too late to rewrite my life, too late to do anything but live it out. Even if I got to live it all again, from the beginning, I would still live it imperfectly, raggedly, shamelessly, in my own skin.

It is a hard and bitter thing, a life,

but so loathsome to leave

and so stupid to regret.
