in your life, do you more regret things you have done or things you didn't do?

If it's what you haven't done, are you inspired to change that? If it's what you have done, care to share?

i think everyone has things they regret not having done.

as far as things i have done, i regret letting myself fall into the patterns that i have as far as my interactions with other people. i wish i had been able to see how other people view me. unfortunately a lot of the time people, at least in the past, have seen me as kind of an asshole because of the way i interacted with people. i would jokingly make fun of them and myself think they would take it just as a joke, among other things, but i came off as being a jerk, even though i knew what my intentions were. my way of connecting to people was through gently criticizing and attempting to pass it off as a joke and even though i personally meant no harm in what i said, it was often taken that way. long story short, i've needed to reform my ways of interacting with people, and it's been a long process. i wish i had noticed it sooner.

Things I didn't do

way to contribute

you can't be fond of living in the past,
Cause if you are then there is no way you are going to last

"Don't ever let anyone ever say to you you shouldn't regret anything. Don't do that. Don't! You regret what you fucking want! Use that. Use that. Use that regret for anything, any way you want. You can use it, OK?"

I don't have to explain myself to the likes of you.

No regrets, that's my motto. Well... that and everyone Wang Chung tonight.

we were so
in
phase

ive been thinking about this a lot lately... i moved far away from anybody i knew to a kinda shitty area to pursue what i thought i wanted to do for the rest of my life, but come to find out i think im going to go back to school, which i discovered all of two months after moving and starting a new job.

so it would be really easy for me to condemn my decision in the first place and regret the hell out of it, but i doubt i would have gotten to this decision in the first place without this kind of body shock, yanno? plus, i think of it more as an adventure, and theres always time to do more things.

plus, who knows how my current situation will help my grad school apps? maybe im a hopeless optimist, but i cant see regrets that way. unless you like, killed some guy or something. i might regret that a little.

makes much more sense.........................

i thought this would have been the second or third post

If you want to pull out the juicy personal stuff you gota be more subtle, T.

this must be one of those vicarious threads where theresa reads what we have said and then she later imparts her wisdom upon us as to why she said this and the reflections based on the thread responses

kind of the story of pj's career since 2003
