As I think about my biggest disappointments in life, they all seem to revolve around a center thyme - Regret.
Regret in not seeing her that night she called because I was miffed at missing the second cup.
Regret in not taking the control stick instead of punking out and going along for the ride.
Regret in taking a pass thinking it would come around again.
Regret in wanting to but not acting to.
Regret in all the coulda, woulda, shouldas, in my life.
Some say they have no regrets in life and would do everything the same if they could do it all over again.  Not I.  What's the point.  There are somethings I would definitely do differently, and therein lies the rub.  You can never go back.  So take the best turn at it and forget the regrets.  That is why I'm going to do many things with my ATF without regrets.
Cause in the end, we all will regret the regrettings and wishing they were something we could be forgetting.

Odd type of question on a fuck board....

But at least it isn't about your lingerie :D

Aw, forget about it.  This board is beyond redemption.  Every time I walk in here the estrogen gives me temporary man-boobs.  Gotta go!

He came...he saw...he left :(

And I have it on good authority those aren't temporary :D

and he is now crying like a biaatch playing the victim lol. Biggest regret for life in general....too many to list.

All of mine are things I did. Run a red light, tell someone to "Fuck off", taking some pills in very large amounts, let fear and anger rule me, acts of violence, cowering in fear, running away, drawing certain court papers, are my biggest regrets in my life. There is nothing I didn't do except telling someone I loved her before she died. The only thing I  would have changed if I could is running the red light. I would do almost anything to have not done that, but the past is unchangeable. Does these mistakes make me a bad person, maybe. I cannot be the judge in that.

The acts of evil I have done will always have happened. All I know is my failures made me who I am, and that person has value. If that value makes up for the pain and harm I have done, I don't know. All I can do is learn and grow from my failures, never repeat them, fix what can be fixed, and teach others what life what I learned so they can avoid them.

This is a depressing topic. I hate reflecting on the past as it is full of pain. Pain I have caused, and pain I have suffered.

Education was the biggest inducer of regret, followed by career, romance, parenting, the self, and leisure. The rankings turned out to be remarkably consistent across studies of people in different age groups and locations. Roese thought education might consistently top the list because it is a part of life with endless opportunity, and opportunity breeds regret. “

stop contemplating on how spices ruin your life.  or at least, don't use thyme, use oregano or dill weed or something.
