Not making better use of the times I used to spend with this younger, absolute sex kitten when I was with her, who was up for anything. Now I'm older, settled and committed to my partner - who though I love deeply isn't half as adventurous)I look back and kick myself!! I suppose I just took her for granted and didn't take up half of her 'offers' because of it. In hindsight...
I've had some big regrets. I know some people say, they have no regrets, everything happens for a reason, yardy yardy yar, and that's great for them and a good way of thinking.
But I don't believe everything happens for a reason, I think sometimes things happen just because someone has made a big and stupid mistake. Sure you move on from them and life continues but I regret some of my mistakes however much my life has moved on from them now.
I don't really fret over my mistakes (except perhaps on those sleepless nights when everything bad you've done since you were about 3 comes back to haunt you!), but I still regret them.
Thanks for the input every one..........i too legend have suffered a loss of a child..........which i think about every day although sometimes i wonder if he had survived ,would i have my other son today??
i regret how i have acted in the past, but understand that it has made me also the person i am today.Maybe a good thing,maybe a bad thing.......im not one to judge myself,i ll leave that to the heir archy.........
i agree fully ratter........but i know i have bimbled through life for quite a few years (not for about 8 years now),as im quite childlike,have nt wanted to grow up.But when finally ,i thought about someone else it hit me like a ton of the preverbial....... i found patience and empathy, quite an enlightening experience
