Title: Have you ever wished?
Post by: ariansworld on May 01, 2009, 07:34:34 PM
That you could go back and change something?  I do.  For a while now, I wish that I could go back and change the way I let things go for me in highschool.   If I could I would go back and do everything differently.
Some of the things that I did have been bothering me lately.  Not chasing girls, being a lonewolf etc.   But I did always view that most people that I went to school with were very childish.

Don't let it get you down too much :)

I usually don't regret even the worst of things I've done.  Just made me who I am today.

Each day is a brand new day to be the best you that you can be.  And just think, after any mistakes, there's always a chance that the you today is gonna end up wiser & better than the you from yesterday. :)

I wish I would have served in the Military.   It is a regret I have and think about at least once a day.

As much as an "ism" as it may be, hindsight is 20/20.  Of course it would be easy to go back now knowing what you know...

Live with what you've got and enjoy it -- I think Txmom wrapped it up well.    :aok

+1 on that. Probably my biggest regret too.

I salute and thank all the veterans who served while i was young and just cared about "me".

Don't worry about it.  The further you get from it the more you'll realize how little high school matters.

Not on a personal level, but i always wondered what would happen if I could take my computer back in time and give it to someone like edison, or einstein, and then see what the world would be like now.

You have considered the negative, right?

I regret, but to err is to be human. I regret having a girlfriend who lives some distance away with no personal transportation on my part. I regret goofing off and playing Aces High when I could be studying or doing homework. Regrets are ways to make us not make more mistakes of the same caliber.

Of course, but i'm still interested to know how it would turn out, as long as I could change things back to normal.

Regrets are pointless.

Do not look back.

If you are not happy with your life as it is now, don't regret the failure to take the paths you currently desire to be on.... Do something about it.

I have done things that I regret doing but I also realise that I have learned the greatest things from my worst mistakes.

Without mistakes you cannot appreciate correct actions. Mistakes and regrets provide perspective... so don't dwell on them. Use them.

Perhaps Windows would acually work!

Amazing coincidence, Both my Mom and my brother called me last week regretting things that happened over 40 years ago. I'm not joking. I told my Mom, you know we all did what we thought was right, we may not remember the why but with what we knew at the time we did the best we could. I added that any one who thinks they know best how to raise kids hasn't had any. I think she cried.

My brother brought up an incident where we were fighting over a bicycle and he punched me in the nose.  :rofl :rofl :rofl I told him my nose was too pointed anyway and that we were kids.

Personally, I have so many regrets and embarrassing moments that there is no way I could make them up. I ask God for forgiveness and thank him each day for what I have and what he has protected me from even though I have fallen short. I believe, as my brother said, God wants us to remember these things so that we hopefully won't repeat them. Maybe better yet, so your kids want repeat them of folks you love.

The only thing I will tell you is this. What you mention isn't anything, but maybe only to you. I've done much much worse. Those things you talk of can be corrected with some effort. Forgive yourself and move on.

I like what Texasmom said, these are the things that make us who we are today. The fact you understand what has happened and that you have a conscious shows the decent person you have become.
