I hope this isn't too much of a downer, but think about it. I've tried to live without regrets, but the one biggest regret is that I didn't start playing a musical instrument a long time ago. But, I've finally picked up a guitar and started practicing.
It's easy to have regrets, that's for sure. Everyone has 'em, unless they're living in DenialLand, which (while comfortable) tends to be generally unhealthy. I don't know what my biggest regret would be... but when I figure something out, I'll letcha know. (yeah yeah, I"m sure you're all on the edge of your seat now....)
Well, I've done some stupid shit, hung out with stupid people, involved myself in ignorant drama, but I don't regret any of that. I've learned from everything. I do regret one thing that I probably think about on a daily basis. My mom died when I was 17 and I remember the night she left for work. She comes into my room and says "Annie, you need to clean your room." ME: "Yes mom I know" MY MOM: "OK, see you in the morning, I love you." ME: "yeah" Never would I have thought I'd never see her again. What I wouldn't give to go back and tell her I loved her back. Yes I know what everyone is thinking...she knows you love her. That's not the point. I should have told her. I make a point of it now to tell people how I feel about them, cuz you just never know, ya know?
I regret not going to college straight out of high school. My Social anxiety disorder was highly elevated at that point and I spent the first two years after graduation in a state of agoraphobia. When I finally decided to take classes, I only focused on one or two a time. I could be working on my second degree by now if I had not made that mistake. Another regret is my ex fiance. I knew that it was wrong from the beginning, and not to make excuses, but he came at a very low point in my life. I had no self esteem whatsoever, and he was the one person (other than family) that I could always count on to be there for me (even though he was a lying, thieving, wanna-be gangster, the one thing he never failed at was being by my side). I regret putting my family through what I did when him and I were together. My last regret is the way I acted as child/teenager. I wasn't the drug addicted, sex fiend, drunk on the weekends kind of rowdy kid, but I wasn't innocent. I started a lot of problems both in my home and in the schools I attended. I use to be envious of my little sister because she was so pretty, and, "perfect"... and I never got along with my parents or anyone else for that matter. Thank the Lord that my family is a lot closer now and we never take time together for granted. However, I wish that my relationship with them would have been that way from the start.
I really don't regret anything. I started on music when I was young. I did well in school. I have had a couple unhealthy relationships but learned from them, and am doing well in that department now...um... Ok...I really believe that in my ancestry there was "witchood". So I regret that I haven't gotten into that part of my heritage. Does that count? I guess there's still time.
My biggest regret is that I never got to see the Grateful Dead while Jerry Garcia was alive. I must have lived a pretty good life.
I regret being so damn SHY!!! I hate it... I have missed out on alot of oppertunities because I didn't speak up or something... and it also makes me bad at goodbyes, which I hate... I'm changing all of that though, I'm making myself speak up and I think I've come about halfway between where I was and where I should be, which is good and I'm alot happier for it. Peace, Holly
no regrets...everything happens for a reason..even the bad stupid things i might have done...but a lesson was learned for all things like that..so as i say, no regrets
I'm not sure what my biggest regret in life is. Oh, I have several, but I'm not sure what's my biggest.
I guess I would have been a better son to my Mother while she was here. Now I try to be a better son for my Dad. And I try to be the best Father I can to my daughter. I wish I would have spent more of my youth surfing than I did.. (I still surfed a lot - but wish i did more..) I regret not asking Sherry Cole out in the 11th grade. She was so pretty, and when I had the nerve to talk to her - she was so nice.
