I've done some pretty messed up things in my life and hurt alot of people. Although I'd obviosuly prefer not to have hurt those I love the most - The lesson's I've learnt are invaluable and have made me the person I am today.

I call mine a big REGRET. The whole time I was growing up I wanted to be an investigative reporter. I thought there would be nothing better than finding out the scoop & getting paid to tell about it. However, I was from a tiny town & had never been away from my parents. The closest college with this program was over 3 hours away & it scared me to death. My parents didn't encourage me to go, so therefore I didn't. I DO NOT consider it a mistake though. You might wonder how this could be???? Well, instead I got married to my husband & I have two children I absolutely couldn't live without. Since I got married at 19, if I had gone to college I wouldn't have the life, or the children I have today. I will not make the mistake my parents did however by not encouraging my children to follow through with their education. My daughter already has an uncanny fascination with blood & says she wants to be a doctor - she is only 6, and I say YOU GO GIRL!!! My son at this point thinks he wants to be an engineer so he can design & build huge bridges - he is 10. I hope I can keep these dreams alive in my children, or any of the other dreams they will change their minds to throughout their childhood!!
I still REGRET not becoming a reporter on a fairly regular basis as I have not been completely happy with a career decision thus far in my life, but I don't think I ever will be as my true calling was reporting. I work in the medical field now & I help a lot of people who need it on a daily basis, so if I had to settle for something I can't imagine anything better than helping others on a daily basis.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Get your education & follow your dreams while you are young, so you aren't 31 & regreting it!!

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and often wished I could back time.I have now almost got over this.Things that happen make you realise that you cannot do anything to change the past apart from maybe an apology to someone that you hurt. Live for now don't dwell on the past. There are people much worse off than you or me. My sister is very poorly with cancer.We all have regrets but put them behind you and concentrate on being a nice and caring person. To me that makes up for any mistakes you made in the past. Be happy.

Nope, because I am truly happy these days. Are there mistakes I've made? Maybe, but I don't veiw anything a mistake if I've learned from it. No regrets here. Are there things that have changed my life in a dramatic way? Definitely, but there's no point in wondering about all the what if's, I think about what is. If I hadn't met my partner, I would have met someone else who I would love and think I wouldn't want to live without.

I sometimes think i'd like to turn back time and do things differently but to change the past would not only change the bad times in my life but probably the good times as well and I wouldn't want that. I think it's important to, rather than think of them as regrets to think of them as life lessons to learn and to grow from. Instead of thinking about what might have been or what we could have done differently or better, i think we should think of the here and now and what we can do now to make the rest of our lives better.

We all wish at one time or another that we could just go back and redo something--but we can't. The way to look at things like that is it was a lesson to be learned. We all go thru life making choices---good and bad---we gain experience and maturity when we realize we made a mistake. It is part of growing up and it is part of life---good luck to you

We all have things that we wish we could go back and redo but for the most part I would have to say no. All the good and bad that I've went thru in my life has made me who I am today. I've celebrated my joys and mourned my losses but combined they have given me wisdom and insight that I would never have had without them.

I don't regret it, but I wish that I would have waited to get married. I probably wouldn't be with the man i'm with now and wouldn't care. I would be living the single life and enjoy just getting to know all about me. That would be by traveling, and dating myself. 22, and only made things worse for myself.

I don't know if the word is regret. I do feel like I make a lot of mistakes in realtionships. But I have learned from them. I am trying not to make the same ones again.
