    Default some mistakes in life that you wish you could take back

    list some mistakes in your life that you made that you wish you could take back. remember: your actions make who you are, iam talking about mistakes that have no positives to them.

    ill start. i was dating this girl who was a total control freak, i actually have just gotten out of a relationship with her, but my point is she was a control freak. my good friend was sent away to iraq in october till august. he wanted to hang out one last time before he had to leave, i could not because i was working 50 hours a week and my g/f at the time would go nuts everytime i would try to do something with one of my friends. she would just get mad and say "your not making any time for me". so i ended up not being able to do something with him one last time before his deployment to iraq. i have not heard anything from him for a while now, i cant get a hold of his parents. right now iam just hoping that everything is alright. this is something i can never take back and i can never forgive myself for.

    1) Running from the police and wrecking my first car, almost killing myself and two of my friends.

    Lesson Learned: Don't run from the police.

    2) Going to my girlfriends house, then getting seduced by her sister and cheating of her while she wasn't there.

    Lesson Learned: Don't cheat.

    3) ALMOST doing something I'd regret with a girl that wasn't of legal age.

    Lesson Learned: Forbidden fruit is forbidden.


    Actually, I don't really regret the last one since I stopped before anything happened. Had I actually done it, then I would have probably hated myself for all time. Real talk.

    Barely getting by in high school when i had the potential to be an all A student. (basically slacking on work/skipping class type of stuff) i could've had college freaking paid for.... but slacking and paying way too much attn to "other things" (ex girlfriend) screwed me over on that...

    and not going to college when all the other was fresh on my mind... now i'm 22 i've got a decent paying job and all but i still wish i had gone... cause now i can't really afford it nor do i have the time.

    In all our seriousness, nothing. I do not think people should have regrets, because at one time, it was what they wanted. Second guessing yourself later after the result is just poor judgement. You would not have made that decision if you did not think it was appropriate at the time or situation.

    Sleeping with my best friends girl while he was passed out. They are now married and he knows now. We were all hammered beyond belief. All is good now between the three of us now but I still hate myself for it.

    i realized that everything that was a regret, made a difference sometime in my life.

    1. meeting my exboyfriend who introduced me to drugs.
    --- even though this was one bad mistake, i'm glad it happened. who introduced me to my next boyfriend.

    2. meeting another exboyfriend.
    --- who cheated on me, which made me want to cheat, and made me lose my virginity.

    3. meeting an exbestfriend.
    --- even though she was a whore, she got me to hang with her boyfriend, who is on here. and he went to car things. which introduced me to many people.

    sooo i basically regret meeting alot of people. but i now realize that it was great that it happened, because i wouldn't have met all the good people i know now.

    1. Showing off in my car when I was inexperienced and immature
    -12k worth of damage to car/all graduation money spent on insurance deductible($1500)

    2. Breaking up w/the love of my life over another girl.
    -Didn't speak for a year but now things are on track to get back together(yay)

    3. Choosing "temporary" friends over life long friends
    -Caused a lot of drama,has taken a long time to get back to normal..still not the same..

    Overall I try not to live in regret, life is too short to worry about the past..

    i have no regrets, i understand that in this life, everything that happens to you, good or bad is your fault.

    "either by your actions or INACTION, what happens to you in life is YOUR FAULT. what we should strive to actively work on in life is MINIMIZING YOUR MISTAKES..."

    that's a little something i came to realize after the last "badstreak"(see, poor decisions) i went through years ago....then life flashed before me, all my choices and the consequences of them i seen and i wrote the statement above down and it all made sense.

    in this life people, the one thing we have more control over, yet blame people for, and misuse.... is FREE WILL.

    every choice has a consequence, from what to wear to what to do, and there is a good and bad consequence of everything.

    you just have to weigh everything out. man up to what you choose and anticipate the consequence, which puts you back at a choice.

    the cycle never ends.
