You need a holiday.
Oh, wait ..

stigjones.bsky.social•21 days ago

It's natural to have regrets & rue missed opportunities now & then as long as it doesn't distract from what you have achieved you'll be alright , your glass is half full sir👍

davidcavlovic.bsky.social•22 days ago

The only true regrets I have are the chocolates that were not within reach...

maureenfelix.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think it’s a very human problem that everyone has

sharondavis.bsky.social•22 days ago

Glad it doesn’t last , also it ain’t over yet 😊

paulartwork.bsky.social•21 days ago

We're hardest on ourselves, unfortunately. At least decent people are.

joolsnikfr.bsky.social•21 days ago

Human nature, and humane nature. Damnable at the time but better than being a thoughtless individual. Always remember the wonderful things you've achieved.

magso.bsky.social•22 days ago

I think we're all guilty of that. As long as we have the tools to shoo those thoughts away, we'll be fine.

stoneycat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Well you have achieved my friendship you lucky bastard - dwell on that 😉

Hope you feel brighter soon darlin 💕

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•21 days ago

Every cloud and all that. 😉

stoneycat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Well I do have an impressive silver lining 😁

melisandremorrigan.bsky.social•21 days ago

I regret achieving your friendship, ya bastard... 😂

stoneycat.bsky.social•21 days ago

You regret nothing darlin 😉

melisandremorrigan.bsky.social•21 days ago

😉😂

stoneycat.bsky.social•21 days ago

You've reminded me of #susanalbumparty 😁
Takes me back 😄

melisandremorrigan.bsky.social•21 days ago

😂🫢

overtherainbow.bsky.social•21 days ago

Know what you mean. When I look back, I seem to just remember my mistakes and bad behaviour instead of my achievements

miacatpj.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think you’re going great in life. We all have moments when we feel we’ve not done enough but that’s normal.

thebigredape.bsky.social•22 days ago

Have a bit of therapy. I just did seven sessions, and I feel a lot better about all the shit I used to carry. Lay your burden down bro

ginny1956.bsky.social•21 days ago

I do the same thing. I get down on myself too much, thinking I can always do better. I overthink too. Not good.

oldbiker.bsky.social•21 days ago

It’s never too late Reece. Don’t dwell go for it if you want it 👍

granberoy.bsky.social•22 days ago

It's so easy to regret the things you didn't do. Sometimes, getting out of bed in the mornings can feel like an achievement. You've achieved plenty, and there will be more to come.

dawnbritten.bsky.social•21 days ago

Normal xx

geuk.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yes, just the natural inward gazing of a man in his 50s or 60s thinking "Sh*t! What happened to THE plan???".
Just know you're very well respected, you've brought enjoyment to millions, and the OTHER road taken might have led to you being run over by a bus in Hollywood!
We are where we are.
🍷

sarah7285.bsky.social•19 days ago

You got this Reece! I get it. I hear you. We are all capable of low moments. Sit with it. Sending you my care.

assppiicc.bsky.social•21 days ago

We all take that trip occasionally. The amenities there are poor so I come back straight away these days.

freedomunicorn.bsky.social•21 days ago

I do that. I go over scenarios thinking about what I could have done different/better. But, it's too late now and I did the best I could at those times. 💙 Don't beat yersel up about things ye cannae change & pat yersel oan the back for the wonderful things ye have done. 😁

owenk77.bsky.social•22 days ago

'And then one day you find, 10 years have got behind you; no-one told you when to run; you missed the starting gun'. Kind of having one of those days myself.

noahbeery.bsky.social•21 days ago

Great that you can already see past that state of mind 💪🏻

usmansmith.bsky.social•21 days ago

That black dog haunts all who conjure with words & air.
You can only let it sniff & growl, knowing it will go back to its dark, damp, corner of the woods soon enough.
Don't feed it.
Don't let its teeth sink in.
Dogs can't read.
Dogs act on instinct.
You act on an inner fire, feed that not the dog!

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•21 days ago

I might have this printed.

usmansmith.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well, the paper will outlast silicon media, papyrus is still around.
Whilst the 8 track & video are propping up a wobbly table..

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•20 days ago

noahbeery.bsky.social•20 days ago

viviennesoton.bsky.social•19 days ago

I think everyone does that, don’t they?

jdpoc.bsky.social•22 days ago

I use the mountain comparison. You might never get to the top but the view is pretty good from 3/4s the way up. Sit back and enjoy it while others scramble and fight past you for that last remaining few metres or so.

andy2457.bsky.social•20 days ago

We all do it dwell on the negative rather than the positive

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•20 days ago

We're harder on ourselves than anyone else 🌟 xxx

sarah7285.bsky.social•19 days ago

This!!

sunderlandlolly.bsky.social•19 days ago

🙏

odbof85.bsky.social•21 days ago

You’re lucky

jasmineglamis.bsky.social•21 days ago

Same here. Since I turned 60 last year though, I have been more forgiving of myself and as I am retiring in a couple of weeks, happy to celebrate all I have achieved. Hoping there will be lots more time for new experiences and achievements 😊

mrsstew.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think everyone does this from time to time. Think of it this way. If you didn't achieve something, it was for a reason. It wasn't meant for you. Forget it. You can't change the past. 😉

adrianlenard.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think that’s part of getting older. Recognising and letting go the of the things you’ll never be, and never do. Future possibilities shrink as you age, and that’s hard sometimes.

davesaul.bsky.social•22 days ago

If we don't have lows we won't appreciate the highs.

alienteknol.bsky.social•21 days ago

The little bits we do are all part of the big jigsaw.

countzerorepeat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Black dog visits most of us at some point. Talking helps. Light and shadow in every life. Be kind to yourself, Reece.

mickeya.bsky.social•19 days ago

Jaysus Reece, wish I had just a fraction of your achievements. I once, in my defence, won the loaded part of a Christmas cracker. 😬

topsyscatmum.bsky.social•22 days ago

Thank god. You are human 😉

It's often easier to spot the stuff you haven't done than celebrate what you have!

You are a joyous human. Remember that x

whyishecalledthat.bsky.social•22 days ago

Must be nice to have achieved something.

sallycalverley.bsky.social•21 days ago

Same. So much to do. So little time. Also.. cake.

mr-norris.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think you need it now and again. You can’t really know what you’ve achieved if you don’t think about what you haven’t… if that makes sense. A human measure of progress.

njwarrendrums.bsky.social•21 days ago

“What if” days can be a perilous ride.

garrycharlesscreenwriter.com•20 days ago

It’s a human nature thing. I just give myself a mental slap and move on 😂

normal4jp.bsky.social•22 days ago

All part of the human condition. Would worry if you didn't. Keep being you.

agentbriko1207.bsky.social•21 days ago

Have you tried microdosing mushrooms before a nuce big trip every now and then?

About 500mg every 3 or 4 days until you've confronted the issues you've long forgotten about?

dianamcqueen.bsky.social•22 days ago

You're very lucky if it never lasts long.

gillman19.bsky.social•22 days ago

The things you haven't achieved yet mate.

allywils.bsky.social•21 days ago

We all do that…
So today, 8 months after wallpapering the kitchen, I finally did all the finishing work, tucking behind sockets, etc 👏
We might not have achieved it yet, but there’s still time 😉

wrenkh.bsky.social•21 days ago

We need some reflection to keep in balance.
I'm happy for you that it doesn't last long.

stevemortlock.bsky.social•21 days ago

I always think each day is a new chance, wipe the slate clean, learn from previous mistakes and have another go at it

phillilla.bsky.social•21 days ago

I peaked at 17 with my A-levels (and am now 50)- you are doing amazingly...

catrinj.bsky.social•22 days ago

Reece, you’ve got nearly fifty thousand people people on here who follow you because you’re a decent bloke with interesting things to say. There’s unanimous opinion that you’re not one of life’s dickheads, try dwelling on that.

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•22 days ago

I quite often do. Thank you, Catrin.

gillc57.bsky.social•22 days ago

It’s probably part of not being an arrogant prat.

markkbadger10.bsky.social•22 days ago

That role has been filled too often.

gillc57.bsky.social•22 days ago

Exactly, so it’s refreshing to come across someone who’s clearly talented but not full of himself

markkbadger10.bsky.social•22 days ago

Supporting Huddersfield will do that to you.

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•22 days ago

So true.

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes, nobody wants that.

sarah7285.bsky.social•19 days ago

Indeed! Don’t go changing! ☺️

crazylady55.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yes we are always so hard on ourselves. We definitely need to be more kind and understanding to who we are and all we have done

lindaatkins.bsky.social•21 days ago

Join the club. If I get into a what if mood I try to shake it off by telling myself that I wouldn’t have had the husband, children, grandchildren that I have, all of whom are making their own mark on the world if my life had taken a different path.

aspasia2.bsky.social•22 days ago

You’ve kept working and made a good living in a profession you love - one that’s notoriously fickle. That’s success by any standard.

themightygoff.bsky.social•21 days ago

If you can fix it, fix it. If you can't fix it, forget it.

Harder than it sounds. Gets easier with practice.

rodgerlrc.bsky.social•21 days ago

We can all do this. Don't beat yourself up about it, think on all the positives in your life. Let's all keep going and fighting the good fight.

angiecarey.bsky.social•21 days ago

You are a wonderful person and I think you have achieved alot and continue to do so.being a decent human is something you have always been and done many great things...xxxxx

123joules.bsky.social•21 days ago

You need to ride high , you’ve done amazing 😍

robgreig.bsky.social•14 days ago

I do this too. It appears from nowhere... then I think, sod it, I'm not super human, I've managed alright. Onwards and upwards!

Sending my best for your week btw. 🙏🏽

bethany9119.bsky.social•21 days ago

Focus on all the things you have achieved.

Can guarantee that list is far longer.

Plus all us lot will lift your spirits!

markhillyer.co.uk•21 days ago

Intelligent people always second guess their path. Idiots are always convinced they’re correct. It’s the way of the world unfortunately. You’re one of the good ones Reece, sorry you’ve lost yourself a bit, but it’ll pass, soon I hope.

sharonleaver.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think it shows what a good person you are Mr D x Dwell on all those positives x My greatest achievement, my children ❤️xx 😘 x

reecedinsdale.bsky.social•21 days ago

Mine n’all! 🙌

sarah7285.bsky.social•19 days ago

N’awww. And mine! He’s only 2 nearly 3! Bless him!

sharonleaver.bsky.social•20 days ago

😘x

fennavista.bsky.social•21 days ago

If you had achieved everything you wanted then the adventure would have been completed there must always remain things to still complete to give life drive and essence. I think you’ve done pretty good on the tick boxes of life.

rachelgifford.bsky.social•21 days ago

You're not alone, I sometimes go off into a dark corner by myself, but I always come back stronger. I am sure you do too.

malemet.bsky.social•21 days ago

You're a good bloke, a good actor and a good director although I'm guessing the last one because I don't know anything about directing. You must be though because they keep giving you work 😊

megkinsey.bsky.social•22 days ago

Sorry to hear that.
My Sister & I feel like the same right now & it's horrible.
All things must pass. You'll be reight 🙏 ✨️

gonature.bsky.social•21 days ago

GJ!

dozzaj.bsky.social•21 days ago

The Bard suffered in the same way ,Reece,you know”when in despair. . . “,that sonnet most beautifully remcited by Judy Dench on one of the interview programmes,so chin up chuck!
