[DesertPirate]

That I didn't call in that bomb threat to delay your plane.

 

[Misty_Morning]

That I didn't call in that bomb threat to delay your plane.

Dude....you are so lucky you didn't.....hell hath no fury like a lesbian that has gone 2 years without sex.....

 

[phoenixangel]

[DesertPirate]

Dude....you are so lucky you didn't.....hell hath no fury like a lesbian that has gone 2 years without sex.....

I thought it was your return flight. I was gonna make you stay longer.

 

[SeaCat]

Regrets? I have plenty.

On the other hand the past is the past and it can't be changed.

Then again there are many things I don't regret, those to me are more important.

I am very close in my thoughts to you Cat. It's there but it can't be changed.

Life's too short for regrets. I've made mistakes, some serious ones.

But I can't change that and I won't waste my energy fretting over them.

Better to do your damndest not to repeat them.

 

[TE999]

I like the second line...it sums up how I feel about things.

"Regrets, I've had a few,
Then again, too few to mention..."

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

That I haven't seen more of the pictures of the trip... YOU know which ones I'm talking about!

you'll be surprised to know we didnt take any...wait...many like that...that's if the ones she did take of me pass as the ones you're talking about...and i'm not sure they would. And no, you can't be the judge of that.

Regrets...the same ones as Misty...we made some memories, i would have liked to have made more...

 

[impressive]

My only true regrets involve the times when I've cause others pain. I never intend to hurt. It might be something that absolutely had to happen, in which case my regret would be that I could not find a less painful path.

Have a sticker on my laptop that reads:

Fear is temporary. Regret is forever.​

Almost every decision I have ever made.

I completely agree with this. Going down the road of regret is to some degree living in the past. I'm all about going forward. I truly believe that living with regret will stunt you and keep new and good things from coming into your life. Let go of stuff and I bet you will be surprised what comes your way.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I think people confuse regret with remorse.

 

[trysail]

Learning requires making mistakes. That's fact.

The idea is to learn from the inevitable mistakes but not get bogged down dwelling on them.

Warren Buffett extolls the virtue of what he calls a "bathtub memory—" one where bad stuff eventually goes down the drain.

I regret that I didn't give it my all when the opportunity presented itself...

I was once asked in an interview what I would change if I could go back in my past and change one thing. I could've said that I'd have been honest about the damage to a van that I drove at work, because lying about it got me fired. I could've said that I'd turn down the guys who helped destroy my self-esteem, or that I'd have worked harder in high school. I could have said that I'd have moved halfway across the country when I was just nineteen to be with my first love...

...but I don't know where my life would be if I actually did any of these things differently. It could be better, but it could be a whole lot worse.

As far as other things, wishing that I hadn't said I'd do her a favor because it meant staying at work an hour late, or wishing I'd said something or not said something...when I find myself regretting something I use it as a lesson for next time. "Okay, next time don't say you'll do it when you aren't sure you'll have time," or "say it, damn you! You missed the opportunity then, don't miss it again!" or whatever. And move on.

Making mistakes, or not even making mistakes but doing or not doing something and then feeling that you should have gone the other way help shape your life, and make you who you are. You can learn from these experiences or you can think about it and mourn that you didn't take the chance, or did take the chance, way back when.

So what did you say?

i agree, i wouldnt be where i am now if i hadnt gone thru what i did. i cant change the past but i can influence and accept my future. how i do this will determine the speed with which i get to where i want to be and the feelings i have for getting there.

The sword cuts both ways; you can do everything 'right' and still be miserable down the road becus the old you is bored out of her skull or whatever.

When I was 17 I followed his orders; when I was 30 I followed his orders; and at 60 I'm still taking orders. And the 90 year old me will be wiser, yet.

You are so bringing back memories of the week Min and I spent at Cape Cod when I asked her to marry me, and then had to go our separate ways, not destined to be together again we thought until Christmas, 4 months on. Come October we finallu thought, 'fuck this', which is when I gave up my job, closed up my flat and flew to Phoenix to be with her for the next 3 months.

I'm sure you'll be together again soon. I'm hoping for it, praying for it.

My regrets? That Min and I didn't meet sooner.
