No more regrets....post them here!

Approaching 60, very fit and determined to do even more, regrets are inevitable. But that's okay. If I have future regrets it means I pushed the envelope. I'm okay with that. It won't be because I did nothing.


Anyone who says regrets are avoidable isn't realistic. Congrats on the milestone!
 
Life is a minefield of regrets. The question for me is how long will it take me to rise above it. None of us are perfect and we all make decisions that come back to haunt us. Even when we do our best, there's a jackass waiting to tell you where you screwed up. Don't be your own jackass.
 
Rent was good..
Ok great due to Edena

Hamilton??

Regrets? Not staying in engineering with B average
But.. life worked out
Wife and kids would all not be otherwise
 
Of course! I'm slowly coming to an understanding with that comment.
I've certainly made and will continue to make more mistakes. The important thing is to not let the mistakes define our existence. Make 'Em and move on!

I learn and build on all mistakes made. It might not even be a mistake. I learn and improve on all experiences I've had. If you want ask any question you want.

I tend to be too self critical and think every single l thing that doesn't go well is a mistake. That is definitely not the case. Thanks for sharing....
 
My only regret is not hanging with my Mom more often. Life gets busy then cancer can take someone in a heartbeat.
 
I regret not getting whatever this is checked sooner. OTOH there were umpteen and one other things which were equally urgent at the same time, and what's done is done.

Say five Our Fathers' and twenty Hail Mary's and come back to confession next week. You're absolved.
 
My mother is dying. My regret is that religion has done so much harm in my family. My mother doesn't even see this. I am trying to love her and be there for her. It isn't easy because her life is religion. Sometimes I just want to say to her fuck this shit. Why the hell do you think there's been one suicide and multiple suicide attempts in this family? C'est la vie, I guess.
 
I regret almost everything I have survived.
I regret being a shit for decades.
I regret not trying harder.
I regret my humanity.
It doesn't matter.
Here I am.
 
Nice to hear you’re not letting your past define you. I feel like we’ve all made decisions that end up weighing quite heavily on us.
 
That’s what being a human is all about.

Life gets mundane and the past few years I’ve learned if I want something nobody is going to hand it to me. That’s why I’ve been considering going back to school.
That’s drive is awesome! I hope it all works out for you.
