The Things You Wish You Had Not Done

Chancie · 10-24-2010, 01:29 PM

I wish I had been bolder, experimented more, fooled around more, been braver about trying new things.

I wish I hadn't always worried about being a good girl, and that I had done more that was dangerous and a little risky.

I wish I taken a cross country road trip, and that I had slept with more unsuitable butches, and drunk more tequila.

I wished I hadn’t believed that time was running out and always rushed to find out what was behind every corner. Though I’m grateful that I have experienced more than many because of it, I often wonder if I missed making the most of what was around me because I was always too busy packing and planning for the next leg of my journey.

I rarely have regrets. I have learned that every action has shaped who I am as a person, and I like who I am today.

In my 20's

I wish I hadnt taken a bath in Lysol because I thought I had chiggers and read on the internet it was a home remedy.

I wish I hadnt believed the lies I suspected were lies

I wish I hadnt stopped working on my credentials.

I wish I hadnt been sitting at that red light where that semi hit me in the front and then in the back (nodding to the Guy in Florida)

I wish I hadnt used that damn hand held gas powered fence auger by myself that almost tore off my right arm

I wish I hadnt fallen off my horse and broke my tailbone, broke ribs, suffered a head concussion, detached retinas, and lost my hearing for two weeks

I wish I hadnt been such a piss poor mother to my child when I was drinking. I am so glad I am a much better mother now.

I wish I hadn't fallen into the "do what's expected of you" trap that involved the marriage (to an abusive deadbeat loser) and the (falling down) white picket fence. I wasted so much time by trying to hide the "real" me...

I wish I had gone on to college instead of working 3 jobs to support the deadbeat, the deadbeat's juvenile delinquent teenage sister, and the deadbeat's drug-addicted homeless uncle. My son and I would be much better off right now if I had finished all my schooling early.

I wish I had taken better safeguards with my finances, instead of getting completely hijinxed and railroaded from the identity theft by both the deadbeat and deadbeat's sister. (I'm still finding out about credit cards from 10 years ago that I never knew existed...)

I wish I had never believed the old saying drummed into me by my family, of "you've made your bed now lie in it..."
