What changes am I talking about? I talking about the things that you regret about your life, or to be more precise, if you could live your life again what would you change in it, what would you do different?
I wish I had not been so gad damn shy and asked out that girl next door that I really liked.
I wish had studied French harder and learned German too.
I wish I hadn't started smoking.
I wish I would have worked out more often instead of being such a couch potato most of the time.
And the list goes on...
What about you? What are your greatest regrets?
 
I regret:
Dropping out of Uni
Picking a Uni course 'cos "it sounds interesting"
Never learning to play an instrument (I'm much too lazy to start now)
Not putting more effort into my social life
Not keeping myself fit

Not really anything too interesting. It basically boils down to me not ever having put much effort into anything.
 
Yeah, now when I think about it most of the things I regret not doing/doing differently are the things my parents always nagged me about. I guess they meant well, but my revelation comes a decade or so too late.... human nature never ceases to amaze me :D
 
I'm sure I have more regrets than just these, but to list a few:

I regret not inviting Dove over to my house that night after the party. I regret waiting a month to speak to him again.
I regret having moved in with Tyler (my ex).
I regret signing up for the Navy.
I regret not going to Germany when I had the chance for an all-expenses-paid trip.
I regret not going postal on several people who deserved it.
 
I make a rule out of not regretting anything.

I believe that we have everychoices in life and that we live with the consequences of every one of these choices.


But i do regret one thing in my life.
 
Not buying a lot of tech stocks in the 80s and early 90s and dumping them all in April of 2000.
 
I'm only 18 but regret so many things, I'm going to devote the rest of my life to discovering the laws of time travel and if possible, time reversal. I'm serious, I'm already on my way to becoming a physics engineer.

I have to pretty much agree with Ugly John, there isn't anything in my life which isn't my own fault. Plenty of little regrets, but nothing important.

The only thing I regret (of any importance) is my introverted personality, which while I don't lack for friends, has always failed me in the field of love. That, however, is part of my personality. I can regret it, but it doesn't do any good.
 
I don't regret anything.

Life is too short to be wasted on regrets. Move the fuck on and deal with your mistakes.

Ditto. Can't believe I let that one slip by.

A life without regrets is easy when you are young. It's harder the older you get.

A life without regret is a life without reflection. One can learn from other's mistakes, but you can also learn from your own. To understand yourself is important in learning not to repeat your mistakes. Can't really do that unless you reflect and acknowledge your good and not-so-wise decisions.

That said living in your regrets is useless. Your past is merely the story you tell yourself to explain, and perhaps put a little humor in, your history.

Do I have regrets- shit yeah. I regret having read about Watergirl's continuing romance to Dove, for example. But some things can't be helped. They are structurally there. But as UJ and others pointed out, we are often victims of our own choices and mistakes. Most (but not all) of the problems in your life are of your own design.
 
Life is one big regret, that’s why its called living.

But then again, who knows, maybe it’s all for the best. I mean, who knows how your life would turn out if you would do, or not do that certain thing you regret about.
 
If you could go through your life again, but still remember your first go, you would probably do it much better this time around. Like, graduate from high school when you're 2 years old.
 
There is a name for it: DAY TIME DREAMING

the biggest question in the world is “WHAT IF”.

what if I had a billion dollars....

what if I could control time...


there are 1000 and one whatifs'
 
To acknowledge a wrong you've made, to regret something, and to truly wish you could actually go back in time and revoke a choice you have previously made are all three different things. To truly regret something which you've done in the past and really wish to have it undone, that is equivalent to admitting that your present is worse than your past, since any path in life other than the one you have walked is unknown.

Do you really? Can you imagine what impact such an alteration of the past would have on the present? Either you just wish you knew how to fluently speak those languages right this instant, or you're in a situation which you would willingly trade for another, unknown course in life.

"WHAT IF" is not a question; "WHAT IF?" is. Besides, there are bigger questions in the world such as WHAT IF?

I dunno, but you'd probably not be posting here.

Perhaps you'd be in a band or something? *drum roll*

Makes you think, doesn't it?

I regret giving up the violin.

I regret not being there when my late best friend needed me.

I regret I never took love seriously until it was too late, and still fail every day to have learnt something from those mistakes.
 
With regrets come life lessons-

For example-

Well there was this girl in college. Who knows, had things worked out differently....

I think it was my third year and there was this girl that was just incrediable. Hot. I had known her for a year but was seeing someone and she had been seeing someone when I was free, but it ended up that we were both single at the same time.

So I overcame my shyness and asked her out. Dinner and dancing, some drinks later, some flirting and petting, and things are looking pretty good. She asks me if I want to get out of there, and I can see by the look in her eyes that it's going to be good.

So I'm thinking I'm going to take her home, but it doesn't even get that far. In the car she's on my like a squid, and everything is coming off and our hands are all over, and the windows are steaming up. Her hands are in my belt, unbuckling (Ohhhhh baby! I'm thinking) and next thing you know, she's going down.

And it's great.

ANd then, right when things are climaxing....

I let one go.
Was it the alcohol? the heat? the moment?
It's a real rip shit tear ass fart, loud and long.

She looks up at me surprised, her nose wrinkled in the new aroma.

I shrug. "Don't quit now. get back down there, bitch."

Regret- Sure, who knows were that relationship could have gone. Still, it was a good fart.

Lesson- When you are getting blown, don't break wind.
