Issue 23: Regret

April 2017

Regret is inevitable. Is it a cancer that eats away at us? Or is it a touchpoint for growth? We might regret the lost relationship, or maybe what we actually regret is that we lingered there too long. We all regret our actions sometimes, but what do we do then? Ignore? Lament? Apologize? Evolve? This month, we offer six portraits of regret, some humorous, some wistful, some wise–all honest. Enjoy.
