Regrets...Do You Have One or Some?

Thamca74 · 01-11-2012, 11:29 PM

I regret not being a better partner to my ex girlfriend. She was my soulmate. I am not just saying that-- no one will ever "get" me like she did. I miss her so much but know that to much has happened to go back. (glad to get that off my chest)

I also regret not going back to school -- I am not sure that I have it in me now to even care to try. That is a very mild regret. I think there are some regrets that you can easily live with.

Wish I would have spent more time with my son when he was young instead of putting it off. If you have young kids-- be warned : the time sneaks up fast....All of a sudden one day you get home from work and the damn kid is a man.. true story. Life is full of regrets and guilt. BUT darn it, I did what I thought was right at the time.. Life goes on. Live and learn

I regret if my words or actions hurt another person, that's true. But whatever I've done has taught me something, so I try not to regret. If I chose differently, I wouldn't have the same friends (or family) as I do now.

I've made mistakes, but I've also had great experiences, and it's been quite a ride.

I regret I didn't believe I was beautiful, brilliant and capable when I was 16.. Bulletproof was not the same as confident....

Non! Je ne regrette rien...

Everything that's happened in my life, even the really bad stuff, was for a reason and made me the person i am now.

I've made mistakes. It is called part of life. I have learned from most of them. In a few cases, I have not and was doomed to repeat them. When I screw something up, I take it apart, much like I took apart every broken toy as a kid to see how it worked, what could fix it, etc. Make mistakes, try to learn from them, try not to make them again, keep moving forward all the time. That is what I do.

Guess we all have regrets~But with every regret, is a life lesson. At least from my experiences.)

This is really well put, thank you.

The band The Oh Hellos have a great song about the matter of regrets:
