Contrition: The state of feeling remorseful and penitent
How often does one feel regret in their lifetime? Some of us would say more than we should have, feeling that time could have been spent living our lives. Odette Stanton strived to live a life without regret.
She didn't do things easily or color inside the lines, she made crazy decisions and lived on the edge, deciding that the regret of missing out on life was not an option.
She never regretted dating her psycho Ex, she never regretted ordering a 16-dollar dessert one time, and she never regretted the time she befriended Maxtin Garfield--- or was he, Maxtin Bianchi?
Meeting him was the first time she ever regretted anything.
