1. My aunt was dying of lung cancer. We live in the same city. I could skate to her house. My mom told me to go see her ASAP. I blew her off to make money. I wasn't busy. She died within hours of my mom calling me. I would have been the last person she saw before she died and she wouldn't have died alone.
2. My big brother bullied me all of my life. I grew up avoiding him. I was never home. I never tried to develop a relationship with him because he was so mean to me. Recently he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, depression, and admitted to being sexually abused as a child. His therapists told me he talks about how much he admires me.
3. The love of my life told me she was pregnant. She told me she'd only have kids for me because I want kids. When she told me I didn't speak, walked out of the room, and started drinking. I'm pretty sure I broke her heart in that moment. I told her I'd never hurt her. She miscarried and developed a drinking problem after that. We're not together anymore. I hated her for a year. I now see everything I did wrong. Wow! I fukked that up. And I'll never have a love like that again.
