Chereads / The Empty / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Regret

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Regret

I open my eyes to a blank white room. There is nothing here except me. The walls are white, the floor is white, the ceiling is white. I try to remember how I got here, but nothing comes to mind. It's like my entire life has been erased, and all that's left is me in this empty space.

At first, I panic. I scream and shout for help, but there's no response. I try to find a way out, but there are no doors or windows. I am trapped here, alone, with my thoughts.

As time passes, I start to calm down. I realize that there's nothing I can do but wait. So I sit down on the floor and begin to think.

I start to contemplate my life choices. I've always been a bad person, selfish and self-centered. I never cared about anyone but myself. I grew up in a harsh environment, where you had to fight for everything. I learned early on that you couldn't trust anyone but yourself.

But as I sit here, alone, I start to wonder why I'm like this. Why have I always been so selfish? Why have I always put myself first? Is it because of my environment? Is it because of the people I've surrounded myself with?

I start to remember moments from my life. Moments where I hurt people, moments where I chose myself over others. And as I remember, I start to feel guilty. Guilty for all the pain I've caused, for all the people I've hurt.

Tears start to fall from my eyes as I realize how much I've messed up. I've lived my life without any regard for others, and now I'm paying the price.

But then something strange happens. As I sit here in this white room, with nothing but my thoughts, I start to feel a sense of peace. For the first time in my life, I'm not surrounded by noise and chaos. I'm not distracted by the outside world. It's just me and my thoughts.

I start to think about what's really important in life. Is it money? Fame? Power? Or is it something else entirely?

As I sit here, I realize that the things that I thought were important are actually meaningless. They're just distractions that I've used to avoid facing myself. But now, in this blank white room, there's nowhere to hide. It's just me and my mistakes.

I start to think about the people I've hurt. I wish I could go back and make things right. I wish I could apologize and ask for forgiveness. But I know that's impossible. All I can do now is learn from my mistakes and try to be a better person.

As time passes, I start to feel a sense of calm. I know that I'm going to die soon, but I'm no longer afraid. I've come to terms with my mistakes, and I'm ready to face whatever comes next.

And then, as suddenly as it started, it's over. The white room disappears, and I find myself floating in a void. I feel weightless, like I'm free from the burdens of my past.

And then, I see a light. It's warm and inviting, and I feel drawn to it. I start to move towards it, and as I get closer, I realize that it's not just a light. It's a presence, a feeling of love and acceptance.

As I enter the light, I feel a sense of peace wash over me. All the pain and guilt that I felt before is gone. I feel forgiven, and I know that I'm loved.

And then I hear a voice. It's not a physical voice, but it's a voice that I can hear in my mind

The voice tells me that I'm not alone, that I've never been alone. It tells me that even though I've made mistakes, I'm still loved and that there's still a purpose for me.

I feel overwhelmed with emotion as I listen to the voice. It's like everything that I've ever needed to hear is being spoken to me in this moment. The voice tells me that life is not about material possessions, wealth or power. Life is about the love we give and receive, the people we impact and the memories face, the sound of birds chirping, the smell of freshly baked bread.

I begin to contemplate how I can make a positive impact on the world, how I can use my talents and abilities to make a difference. I think of the people that I've hurt and the mistakes that I've made, and I realize that I need to make amends.

But how do I make amends when I'm trapped in this white room? How do I make a positive impact when I'm alone?

Then I remember the voice and the being of pure love and light. I realize that I'm not alone, that I've never been alone. I may be physically alone in this room, but spiritually, I'm surrounded by love and support.

I start to write down my thoughts and feelings, my regrets and hopes. I write down the people that I need to apologize to and the things that I need to do to make things right.

As I write, I feel a sense of clarity and purpose. I realize that I have the power to change my life and make a positive impact on the world, even from this blank white room.

I continue to write, and before I know it, the hour is up. But this time, I'm not afraid. I'm ready to face the world, to make amends, and to live a life filled with love and purpose.

As I take my final breath, I feel a sense of peace and contentment. I know that my life may have been filled with mistakes and regret, but in the end, I found redemption and meaning.

The blank white room fades away, and I'm surrounded by a bright light. I feel a sense of warmth and love as I'm welcomed into the afterlife.

Looking back on my life, I realize that the blank white room was a gift. It gave me the opportunity to reflect on my life and make amends, to realize the true meaning of life, and to find peace in the end.

I hope that others can learn from my experience, to realize that life is not about material possessions or wealth, but about the love we give and receive, the people we impact, and the memories we create.

As I leave this world behind, I feel a sense of gratitude and appreciation for everything in my life, both good and bad. I know that my legacy will live on, and that I will always be loved and remembered.

The end of my life may be bittersweet, but I know that I lived a life filled with love and purpose, and that's all that truly matters.
