@minstrel - I'm with @jannert. You could probably go back. Alternatively, there are other places in the US that are very different from LA - have you thought of moving within the US? I realize that when you are with someone else, that can complicate things, but if a move will make things better for you, that's a conversation worth having. As for the extra pounds, that's correctable. Start now. It's not as hard as it's made out to be. As for my own regrets...hmmm...I regret not buying Intel at 6...I regret voting for Richard Nixon in my very first presidential election (it wouldn't have made a difference, but my conscience would be clear)...and I definitely regret not kissing that cute little Irish girl (she teased me mercilessly!) when I was in Dublin in 1963.
I regret the same thing, so I could be a Ghenghis with more interesting stories. And I regret not becoming a gun runner in South America, or a firebrand, heart throb communist in Cuba.
I don't really regret it - you can't project mores/behaviour...well we do so often...to when you were, say 17-21.
I really regret that one night I got really drunk as a 16 year old and threw up on a girls lap as I tried to ask her out.
Holy crap, Lemex! And I thought I was bad that one time I drank three Blue Moons and couldn't go to sleep due to the raging headache that came as a direct result of it.
I regret clicking on Bieber's 'Baby' song on YouTube when he started his 5 minutes - in my defence, a friend said it was a 'good song'.
That's the hex that I placed on myself earlier. At least there are plenty of chances to scream 'nooooooo' during the song noise
I am beginning to regret remembering a catchy tune because it's now in my head!! Walking with the dinosaurs, Walking with the dinosaurs, Walking with the dinosaurs, Walking with the dinosaurs! DO DOO DE DOOOO 65 million years ago DO DOO DE DOOOO
I regret not working hard enough in school to earn a scholarship, and instead selling myself short to settle on learning a trade rather than going to college. I regret a bunch of other serious stuff, too, but we'll stop there for now ...
Word pixy gave Slob three wishes. She was magnificent, graduated in a tinsel ballroom. No longer would she sweep hair, tint grandmother's pubic zone. But for ying there is yang, and a world away Zhang-Lee was discredited, his diploma burned, the barber's shop his only alternative on the stark mountainside where once born he must now return to marry Lee-Hog-Hin. [descends into quasi-racist, simpleton drivel] Chapter 2 The clouds over mountain top...
I once saw the cutest little ornament in a charity shop. It was a small block of wood, and on that stood five different types of nuts. Each nut was decorated differently with goggly eyes, hats, ties, moustaches and looked utterly insane and adorable. On the block was written these words: We're all nuts! It was £2.50. Very cheap. But I thought to myself, "No, it's a pointless novelty. Let's not waste money." So, sensibly, I walked away. Just to return for it before the day was over. To find it'd already sold
I regret dropping English Literature after my AS instead of Chemistry. Oh and dropping Drama GCSE and taking German instead. I regret not working harder and reading more around my degree subject. While I had a lot of fun, I kinda regret not making more of the educational wealth of being at university. I regret not learning to drive when I was 16/17 since my parents were even paying for it! Now if I wanna learn I shall have to pay for it myself I regret quitting my job at the Japanese school - only I had no choice with that one since I got pregnant lol. (Don't regret getting pregnant though ) Really loved that job. I regret not working harder on learning Japanese and Czech! I also regret that my Chinese isn't better, that since my parents abandoned Chinese education for us as children, that we just... let it fade. Soon I shall regret why I haven't been writing for the past 9 months and once the baby's born, I shall not have this kinda free time again! All right, enough with regrets. Now I shall be off to bed
I regret leaving having my dreams but something I do at night and not in life. I regret spending WAY to much time and money on drinking in younger years. (Way to much)
No, you just created a thread encouraging people to talk about serious regrets and then judged any and all posters for not being light-hearted enough. What's the point of doing that? So the thread will look the way you want it to? It felt direct, it hurt, and I no longer wish to interact with you further.
I guess you have never read any of my posts? I'm never rather serious and I'm not here to judge people. It just so happened my post came after yours, it wasn't on purpose that it did. Lighten up a bit good Lord.
I regret going to bed so late last night, and subsequently, waking up late as a result. I regret not drinking that milk earlier because now it's 1 day out of date and I'm not sure whether to risk it.
How about you apologize? Telling someone to lighten up is just an easy way to get out of taking responsibility for what you do, especially when you offend someone and they try to have a serious conversation about it. Especially when you invite people to talk about serious regrets, personal regrets, and then try to play it off as a joke.
