I couldn't work out my differences with my
father before he past away!
I regret saying "tomorrow" too much.
I regret using credit cards irresponsibly. I think
my life would have been much better now had I
been more careful.
I regret not breaking up sooner. Like years
sooner. I was young and so in love.
I regret not doing the things I love to do.I regret
not breaking up sooner. Like years sooner. I
was young and so in love.
I regret getting involved with a guy who turned
out to be a sociopathic, obsessive stalker. He
has taken away a few years of my life!
No regrets, only lessons!
I regret wasting time, saying "tomorrow".
I regret not following my heart and dreams
when I was younger because of my fear of
failure.
I regret nothing for if I regretted my life would
not be what it is today.
I regret not loving him the way he deserved to be
loved.
getting married to someone that possibly
doesn't respect me. . .
I regret that I didn't do an exchange program
while in college.
Knowing that there are a few ways in which I am
actually less wise then I used to be.
I regret the fact that I regret anything in this life.
Not flying home for my friend helen when she
needed me. I miss her so much!
Staying married for the sake of our children...
I regret not living up to my potential. And now, it
may be too late. Ordinary it is.
I regret not forgiving my father for his past... he
has made himself into a great person, but I still
can't bring myself to tell him that.
I regret never learning my lesson the first time
around.
I regret being too scared to find out the truth
about my biological father until after his death.
July 19th 2007 I met him and my life has gone
downhill ever since. It's one of the many things I
regret but the biggest because I can't seem to
make myself leave him alone and things just
keep getting worse. He is wrong and I won't be
right until he's gone...

i regret every tear I've cried over somebody who
didn't deserve it. I regret all the time I have
wasted worrying that I am not good enough.
I regret being so hard on myself about my
appearance. I regret letting people make me feel
bad about not loving them like they want.
I regret being weak and accepting someone's
help that I knew had strings attached. I regret
regretting all this stuff so much, and not letting
myself off the hook for being a human!!
THE END.
It's funny how time, and retrospection can make
even the biggest things seem like no-things..
Childhood is beautiful, precious, and fleeting.
And when I think back to my daughter's age of
wonderment, 8, to be exact, I regret not taking
the time to allow myself to invent, daydream and
conquer the world with her.

I regret the abortions I had that took the lives of
three children.
I regret not taking the dog, that I hit with the car,
to the family and offer condolences - that would
have been the responsible thing to do. Instead,
I kept driving and was too scared to even look
back. I was a child then and I guess things
don't change.
I regret not being myself. I hide myself. Always.
I regret putting in too much faith in a
relationship. I regret not seeing the flags
beforehand.
I regret never fucking a black guy.
I regret not living more fully in the present
(spending too much time thinking about the
past and/or worrying about the future). 'So
many good reasons to be more
present-focused, but a recent article by
Margaret Gunther(Modern Love, 3/29 NY
Times)seems to sum it up quite well: "It
doesn't seem fair that we can look back and
connect the dots in life, and see what led from
that to this, but we cannot look forward and
anticipate in any way what constellation today's
dots will form in the vast space ahead of us. I
guess it's just best to assume that heaven is
right here, right now, and let the stars fall
where they will." That's what I'm trying to do.

I should of stolen from my boss - he was
such a dick.
I regret not being a bigger bitch to guys
when I was hotter.

I regret not being a bigger bitch to guys
when I was hotter.
I regret dropping out of N.Y.U. after my
freshman year although if I had stayed, I
wouldn't have gotten to see the world on
someone else's dime.
I regret spending so much time trying to make
other people happy. In the end, I don't know
what makes me happy.
I regret falling in love with the man of my
dreams and not being able to tell him. I will
never know what could have been. I regret
meeting him, getting to know him, kissing him,
looking into his eyes, letting him look into my
soul. I regret kissing him on the back of his
head, where no one has ever kissed him
before, giving him goosebumps all over. I
regret letting him play games with my heart
and mind. I regret not being able to let go and
move on. I regret losing time, years, five years
and counting. I regret the tears I shed for him,
for missing him. I regret not being able to give
anyone else a chance, for comparing everyone
to him. I regret crying every now and again,
thinking that I will never have the chance to
feel that type of love for someone again and
never have it returned.
I regret thinking all of the what if's... I regret
hurting anyone. I regret hurting anyone that
has known me...

I regret taking some random persons' side
instead of my boyfriend's.
I regret not appreciating time by myself until it
became a luxury rather than the norm..
i never stole, oope i mean "borrowed" that
dope hat from rani... trivial but true.
I regret not keeping in touch with people I
cared about.
I regret being such a doormat. Am working on
that...
I regret hurting anyone. I never meant to. I
regret the way "my friends" reacted. But, I do
not regret my actions.
I try not to live with regret in my life.
I regret being too stubborn to learn the lessons
I could have from my mistakes.
i regret getting into an argument with my
father's best friend. the last memory he had of
me was in anger, and there is nothing i can do
about that. today would have been his 46th
birthday, and i want him to know that i'm
thinking about him, and that i am sorry.

I have no regrets because I didnt ask to be here,
so everything I do is in the process of being a
better person.
I regret falling in love and believing in that love
for 11 years. Kept me from moving, kept me still,
kept my loyal, encouraged me to sleep around to
keep him happy, taught me to build walls and
close the door to people i should have let in. I
should have enjoyed my twenties more now all I
have is a picture and memories that that don't
amount to anything...
I regret taking my good health for
granted...especially now that it is deeply
damaged at the young age of 31...
i regret realizing so late in my life that loving
myself is so much more inportant than someone
else loving me.
I regret not finding this site sooner!

Sorry I didn't teach my daughter Hebrew as a part
of our lives. But it's never too late! The word for
today is 'charata' ('ch'is pronounced as a clearing
of the throat, 'a' is pronounced as in 'aha')- regret.
i regret that because i am stubborn i will never
speak to my father before he dies...
I regret not speaking to my grandfather before he
passed away. For days, I stared at his name on
my to-do list under people to call...knowing he
was sick but thinking tomorrow..tomorrow I will
call...Now there will be no more phone calls.
I regret worrying so much in my 20's. I thought
everything in my life was so serious, and I
cluttered my head with unneeded anxieties.
I regret no preparing myself to be more financially
sound and secure and worrying how it would
make the man in the relationship. A real man
would be proud of a woman who is taking care of
her business. I also regret not going away to
school, it might have allowed me to move on from
my family which are such a heavy burden for me. I
was forced to be an adult at the age of 9 so that I
could take care of my parents. No child should
have to loose their childhood!
I regret listening to others instead of my soul.
Now I live a life of mediocrity on ocassion
sprinting to reach that dream which should have
been my reality.
I regret taking for granted too many friendships.
I regret not recognizing the inherent beauty of my
youth; wasting years chiseling away at a "better
self" only to find it in the wisom that the next
decade delivered.
I regret not listing my regrets on here sooner
because it seems like everyone has covered
them already. Fuck me. Sorry, I regret that I just
swore.
I regret marrying the wrong person, but not the
beautiful children I have as a result.
I regret dating the same guy all the way through
high school. I regret all the guys I didn't date in
high school...
I regret not going to more softball games.
My sister got pregnant at 15 and had her son at
16. After I found out she was pregnant, I was
awful. I remember turning up the volume
whenever one of those "if you get pregnant now,
this is what the rest of your life is going to sound
like" commercicals. I gave her too much shit and
not enough support, which I've apologized for
many times. I wish I could go back to that time. I'd
go to classes with her, make food with her, take
walks, go shopping, hang out, whatever. I will
always regret my behavior towards her. It was
wrong of me.
The batteries in my toy died. I regret not having
more.
I regret every day that I'm still with him...
I don't remember whether I have any regrets.
I regret that I have lied to those people closest to
me and destroyed their trust.
I regret that my hog is so huge it really tears up
the ballfield.
I regret eating that burrito at 4am. Not the
smartest move I've ever made.
I regret going home with that guy . . . and being
greeted by his father in the morning. I guess it
wouldn't have been that bad, if I hadn't walked out
in my underwear. But then, I didn't realize 30 year
old professionals still lived with their parents.
I regret not saying everything I wanted to say, I
thought there would be more time.....and then it
was to late.
I regret not going away to college. Instead, I
stayed in the city and have been here my whole
life.
I regret not telling my sister-in-law what a two
faced c*nt she really is.

I regret not taking video film of my daughter when

I regret what I've done to my marriage. I am
haunted everyday by the memory of what I did. I
am very sorry and try every day until the day I die
to make up for it. I just think it will never be
enough. I HATE MYSELF!
I regret trying to be a good "step-mother". I
regret all the time and money that I wasted on
that illegitimate piece of crap.
I regret selling out for a life style. Remaining
married to a man who does not respect me and
lacks compassion. I regret that this is the role
model my children are exposed to and feel I am
sacrificing them.
I regret that at the end of my marriage I lied to my
husband constantly. I didn't think he could handle
the truth and I don't know if he will trust me ever
again. And I would love to have a mutually
respectful friendship for the sake of our kids.
I regret not taking more pictures.
I regret not telling more people to fuck off.
I regret not being able to say something to stop
my best friend from killing himself when I was 16
and he was 19... A few more years and I would
have known what to say to stop him.
I regret growing up gay and scared in the 80s
during the AIDS epidemic...I woulda, coulda,
shoulda had a lot more sex!!!
I regret not telling more annoying, yammering,
sex in the city, Friends wannabees, self-centered
New York cunts to "Shut the fuck up! No one
cares about your conversation!
I regret not taking a shit on my ex-boss's desk
like I planned to do when she fired me.
I regret not having any regrets because now I feel
like I should have a few regrets... and so now I am
wondering if that makes me selfish or
insensitive???
I regret not doing more coke, drinking more
booze, and fucking more women in my 20s. I'm
40.

I regret thinking that time will solve all my
problems. That time will heal my wounds. That
time will pave the way for me and that in time i
would have an established career and family. So
much time has gone by and I am still a nobody
with noone. I should have been more assertive in
my life. I regret taking time for granted.
I regret that.... although I believe 100% in the idea
that life is short and that we should live it to it's
full potential and that you can achieve your
dreams - I still work 9 to 5 in an office. What the
fuck am I doing.
I regret sleeping with 27 straight / married guys...
wait, no I don't. Maybe I regret not telling their
wives or girlfriends... but that would be cruel.
Maybe I regret being a gay man who craves the
challenge and hunt of bedding straight guys...
Mmmmmmm... naaaaaaaah.
I regret not moving to New York. "Not having lived
in New York" is a defining characteristic
synonymous with abstract fear.
I regret not taking a nap today. I know it isn't my
great regret, but I'm too tired to contemplate what
the great one might be.
I regret being too nice to people who are
complete fucking assholes!!!
