Was one conversation enough to deter you from your aim and yearning? Was your desire so weak or your motive extremely ulterior to justify any action around the same or was it just about proving your point to meet the stakes? Not sure why you receded from the action- was it fear of unknown or failure or discovery of your own negativities- Was the carrot not fresh and sweet enough or public pressure too formidable to handle? But if the realisation of being wrong has dawned on you- better late than never. Do you think you have already lost what was very important to win?

At least future actions will now be well thought of and will not take back the baggage of repentance.
