The Things You Wish You Had Not Done

katsarecool · 10-23-2010, 11:26 PM

I wish I had spent a lot less time listening to others tell me how to live my life.
I wish I had taken the time to realize that I wasted many years not listening to my gut feelings about so many things rather than giving others the benefit of doubt.
I wish that I had been less generous in my life. Now that I am living on limited income and those folks are no longer around nor did they appreciate it; I could sure use that cash!!!
I wish I had spent more time with my mother.
Other than this I have no more real regrets. This is a great thread!

I wish I had listened more and talked less.
I wish I had spent less on crazie ideas.
I wish I had taken better care of my health,now im paying for it.
I wish I had bought more land and less horses...would have worked out better.
I wish I had stoped trying to prove something cause I didnt need to,I was fine the way I was.
So much more ,but later.

I wish I wasn't sitting at that red light when the truck behind me plowed into me.

I don't regret anything when I was young. It was good a time.

I wish I hadn't grown up. The 20's were an awesome time!

I wished I hadn't tried for so many years to make others proud of me when I know now I'm all that matters.

I wished I'd NEVER said I do, when I knew from the beginning I really didn't want to.

I wish I had not stopped in town the evening Cindy died.

Sure I wish I hadn't wasted some of the money I've spent over the years.

All in all I've learned much from my mistakes in my life and there are only a few things I can honestly say I wish I had not done.

I wish I had not done a lot of things....marry to get out of an abusive home....spend money wastefully....make poor decisions regarding trust....as I am sure that I could get to where I am now without many of them. I'd be much better off, I dare say.

There was only one time I ignored warning signs; it damn near cost me my life.

I started this thread because I feel that it's important to know what our regrets are, so that we understand better where we are and why, and what, if anything, we want to change about it.

I truly appreciate everyone's honesty. Sometimes I can see myself clearer through others and their experiences. For this reason, I am truly thankful for each and everyone one of your replies.
