Life is too short for regrets

My latest Substack essay, Part IV of The Art of Understanding The Itch is now live.

In this essay, I talk about regret and how it often isn't the desire that men regret but how long they take to accept it.

In my personal life, I have seen regret first hand. Men that I "dated" years ago that wouldn't commit to anything serious because they couldn't process what that said about them or they couldn't risk the fear of being seen living their lives the way that they wanted to. No years later, many of them tell me how they wish they had followed that desire and not played it "safe".

From a professional point of view, connecting with your desires has never been easier. From unlimited content on our phones to the internet allowing us to search and find likeminded people to scratch the itch with.

We have all lost friends and loved ones, often way too early, and it always stops us in our tracks and reminds us that life is short. I know many clients come to me after such an event, that lightening blot reminds them that life is for living... not for regret.

I really hope this lesson resonates with you, I hope it allows you to give yourself permission to go after your desires, to accept yourself as you are and to understand that the part of you that you often push away is not a broken version of you, you do not need to be fixed... you just need to be honest with yourself.

Life is for living, not for regret.
