Title: Do you have regrets?
Post by: whiteACID on May 17, 2007, 08:13:16 PM
Do you ever wish you could go back years or months from now and change things, or the way you did things?

or do you believe that it all happened for a reason and you wouldn't change anything, it all made you the person you are today?

I have tons of regrets, but it doesn't mean a thing 'cuz you can't go back and fix them, so I try not to dwell on them (I often fail at that part, but I do try).

Yes, I regret renounced my job on january.  Will come back soon.  You americans bitch TOO much for your own good (Sprint collections here), but you guys just LOVE using your credit cards.  Comissions and bonuses for the win.

Post by: Mupepe on May 17, 2007, 08:23:31 PM
kinda yes/kinda no.  My life was very uncertain senior year in high school.  I was in advanced classes (doing well), taking college at night, but I had no urge to continue my education.  I simply wanted to do drugs.  Then I got my ex wife pregnant, and after that, I really couldn't afford to go to college anymore.  

But that experience actually set me straight.  I stopped drugs, became responsible and received the most precious gift in my life.  I also have a good job now.  But I really wish I had finished school, but I don't know if I even would have.  I'd probably have dropped out and began working at a mcdonalds wishing to achieve nothing more than being able to barely pay my rent and buy a QP of some ganja.

ya never know.

(oh and yes, there are some things I horribly regret.  but only one even comes close to life altering like this.)

I regret that I have so many regrets.  It's pretty pathetic to regret things because it's wasted energy wishing for things you can't change.  That said, I regret more things than I should, and regret not taking chances I should have.

Regret is wasted energy, but everyone has a few.  I got a (mercifully small) tattoo on my back that I regret immensely.   

Protip:  Don't jaunt out for a tattoo when you're 17 and drunk.  Especially if you're deciding what to get on the spot.  :-\

I do but I don't think about it now as I did in the past. Regrets are to be used to learn from your mistakes and thats about it. Perpetually banging your head over something you can't change is...as Cyanista stated, wasted energy.

Theres a local rock channel called WAAF here in Massachusetts. They seem to advertise this product every other commercial break.

http://www.wreckingbalm.com/

Check it out. I don't know if its any good though.

Also, I have a tat on my wrist that I got when I turned 18. I like it though, it looks unique and I think of it as a marking of my 18th.

Don't cry over it.

What if it's in your eyes and it's boiling hot?  And not only that, but it also fell on your baby nephew that was crawling around on the floor, now he's screaming and has awoken the neighbors, and you would see the light in their apartment go one but you can't because you have been blinded by the boiling milk; so they call the the cops and your ass gets arrested for child abuse -- not because of the milk but because you had your child porn on the kitchen table as the cops broke in.  Now your blind and labeled as a sex offender in jail.  Do you cry over that?

I read up on it and I guess blue and black are the hardest inks to remove...and of course my tat is all blue and black.

Dude, when (if?) you lose weight you're going to have tons of stretch marks all over your body, and your skin is going to be really loose and flabby looking.  That's not a good look for a tattoo.

Actually there are a couple of things I wish I could do all over again if I could...but sadly we can't.

I guess I don't regret it, because you learn from the mistakes/wrong turns that happen and make you a better person from them.

Tattoos on a girl can look very very nice. I'm personally into that punkish look on girls though. Theres one type of tattoo thats a bordered star (you usually see it on a guys shoulder blades or top of their chests). When girls have it on each side of their belly...omg :drool

I regret a lot, actually.

How I treated people in the past. How I let myself be treated by others in the past. How I spent so long not caring about my grades. How I stayed friends with people who were awful. How I tried to abandon my family and the people I love the most.

But I don't know what I would change, if anything, and I think that's the worst part.

Do you ever wish you could go back years or months from now and change things, or the way you did things?

Yes of course. But i rather not say what those things are, lets just say i was not thinking the way i think now.

Or do you believe that it all happened for a reason and you wouldn't change anything, it all made you the person you are today?

I believe the things that took place in the past, well it was my fault, but people learn and then they wake up. I been wide awake since i was 15, so now i'm 25 and everything is cool.

No, everything I've done has brought me to here, and I'm happy now.  The only time that will come to pass is the future.  Sure you can think and talk about past events, but you're here now and dealing with you have now.

If you're happy now, then technically there shouldn't be any regrets, right?

If you're depressed now then I'm sure you have plenty of regrets?

This is such a deep question.  Not really a knock, but you're smokin pot again aren't you?

It's hard to want to change any regrets, because you have the knowledge now that you would regret such a thing and if you changed the action that caused the regret, wouldn't you lose that knowledge and just eventually act out the regret due to ignorance?

Not really a knock, but you're smokin pot again aren't you?
No, I'm really not. But damn, I could use some right now, I'm trying to stay away from it though...that's why I don't really hang out with my sister and her husband, which sucks but in this case I'm putting myself first.

Yes. But if you could go back and change them, it doesn't necessarily mean your life would turn out better.

For instance, I regret not sleeping with more girls in h.s./college. But, then again, I could have knocked one up or caught a VD. So, maybe in retrospect, it was better that I was a one woman guy.
