     We watched a video of this woman talking about faking emotions until you eventually feel that way. So I'd like to write about something I'd fake, in order to become it. I would fake my confidence. I can either be extremely cocky, or really quiet. If I recall correctly, the lady mentioned something about power posing. She said power posing for tea minutes can be a great confidence booster. A power pose is like standing with your legs shoulder width apart, with your hands on your hips. Or just a pose that you'd associate with confidence. She said that they did an experiment with people doing either a power pose, or a non-power pose. The study showed that people who power posed showed more confidence than someone who didn't. So if I were to fake my confidence, eventually I'd become confident.

     I am filled with regret. If you were to know what I regret, you'd say it was stupid. But late at night my brain decides to bring up memories that I regret. Like, "remember that embarrassing thing you did on October 12, 2011 at 4:32pm?" I'm always so meticulous when it comes to memories. But there are other, more serious things that I regret. Things I either wish I didn't do, or I wish for others to forget. I regret screwing around with hot glue and burning my hand. I regret saying something stupid that one time. I regret withholding information. I regret lying. I suppose I regret not not going through with things the most. Whether it's dancing, playing an instrument, or singing. Sometimes I wish I could go back and continue with it. So now I'm always thinking, "go through with it. Don't be a quitter, k?" I guess with every bad things comes a good thing. Like learning from your mistakes. Learning from regret.
