Dang, I am so sorry about the money you lost. I've made a million mistakes, ok well maybe not a million but a lot! Some have definitely involved money and I did learn from it. I guess that's all you can do, right?

Of course there is remorse and regret. I think I'd rather lose money and regret it than do some of the things I did in the past that will forever stick in my mind.

This too shall pass! That is what I tell myself when I am feeling awful. <3
