CarraghsGem 92 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ive thought long and hard about this , thinking maybe i should come up with a meaningful , honest , view of the regrets in my life . I have none . I regret nothing ive done . I often think things could have been different , maybe i should have madethem different , but i did`nt . At the time i did what was right , and i was being true to myself and my feelings . The outcomes are not always as we would like , but we are all responsible for our actions . I would change a few things about myself though , or maybe im mellowing with age ? I am unable to bite my tongue when its needed most and if i feel ive been `wronged` i can hold a grudge untill hell freezes over . I can easily hold people at arms length , and people that are very close to me are very few in number , again , my choise . But thats just me . Ive always made my own decisions , and stood on my own two feet . Do i regret who i am and what ive done ? No . Maybe i should make the effort to be a bit `softer` round the edges ....... sounds like your describeing me there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

littlefish 586 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Despite some of the awful things I've been through - and there are a good few of those - the only regret I have is not learning to drive when I was younger. Everything that's happened to me has happened for a reason, in hindsight, and it's put me where I am today... happy with my lot, tho there's not a lot that I have. I do have good friends, great kids, and a good man. Don't need much more than that. Can you drive now? If not, make it your next project! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simoman 110 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I think we all have regrets of some sort BUT you only get one shot at this life so enjoy what you can from it, Iregret wasting giving time, money and any scrap of emotion to a couple of people, my life has changed dramatically over the last few years but i'm now happier than i have been despite less money, smaller house etc etc, as you get older you realise your partner, family, great friends and lifestyle are all you need.......... Best not to dwell on regrets, you can't change it, i have my kids, partner, some great friends, my dogs and touch wood my health, anything else is a bonus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferretess 230 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Wished I'd done a few things differently, but then again things you do good or bad , daft or clever make us who we are, and if others don't like me, well thats there loss, as long as you learn by your mistakes and not daft enough to repeat them. life is for living not regretting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
