One thing...

Yeah I regret alot, I regret moving to WI and moving in with my physco path Mother in Law.

If their was one thing I'd change it would be the relationship I have with my father. For no particular reason at all we were never close, even though we have so much in common.

Every morning I see him at breakfast and every evening we sit at the same table for dinner. I just don't understand why were this way... He's the type that doesn't show his emotional side. in a way I'm like that too. He never talks about his past or his dreams or love...nothing. I can honestly say in all my life I can only remember him giving me a hug twice. It's sad...

i'm upset and yet no regrets :)

JJ, that is sad but maybe you can seize on some ideas to eventually add some emotional warmth to the relationship with your father. I think that deep inside a lot of men would like to have a close relationship with their daughters or sons but sadly they don’t know how to show affection. With me, a good father-daughter relationship has sometimes been the saving grace in my life.

This is an interesting question about the thing we would change because our lives are the result of the decisions and choices we make. But we can make bad decisions that still produce good results or good decisions that have bad results.

When I was a teenager, if I had followed conventional wisdom, I would have paid attention in school, studied hard and set goals for myself. Instead I did none of those things. I was probably the worst student in the entire state and I may have graduated from secondary school only because they took pity on me which I didn’t deserve. If I had aimed higher, my life would have been different. But I got married at 18 and had a great marriage, even though it was short lived and ended by death (not mine). But I would never trade anything for the memories we had together or the two kids we had. It took a lot of effort to re-educate myself but I have no regrets for all my bad decisions and stupidity during my school years.

Last February I went on an ocean voyage with two friends that was intended to last for five weeks. It was a perfectly good decision under the circumstances at the time. But as things turned out, there were some horrific, unintended and unforeseeable consequences as a result. I ended up with some injuries that have me sidelined from my normal lifestyle and will probably take until next year to heal and I also have some very bitter memories (unrelated to my two friends aboard). But if I had it to do over, knowing what I knew then, I would make the same choice. I can’t look back at my decision and say it was a mistake.

One thing I would change? Probably my decision to call two raises on fourth street in a hand of Texas hold’em when I had a flush draw but there were a pair of tens out on the table. That was 1991 and I’m still not over it. ;-)

Well said (person above me).

I think I've regretted a lot of things, but where would I be without mistakes? what would I know? how would I learn? theres so many things in the moment I would want to change. But what would be the point? Everything happens for a reason, I strongly believe that.

thanks Lydia

I regret alot of things but without mistakes life would be boring! But the most thing i regret is changing who i am due to others around me. I learnt the hard way....just be yourself, don't change who you are for anyone! =D

No regrets. Almost.
