I regret not having sex with many of the girls that I could have taken the opportunity with on my trips in Asia..but was shy about it. You know, they helped you, so why 'take advantage' of them ?
Now with hindsight, I see that they may have helped me becasue they wanted me to 'take advantage' of them !
Won't happen again  |

Dog, they wanna marry you to get a citizenship. Let them, then divorce them and let them roam in your country. Then repeat. |

You can do it if you really want to!
Regret is impossible (for me) because regretting something presumes that you wouldn't behave in exactly the same way under identical circumstances. Of course you would (unless you knew then what you know now, which you wouldn't), so let it go.
Now is all that matters. |

* too much booze and drugs. Mis-spent youth
* being an English teacher and not a rock star. Still, it's my fault for letting Tool and Pink Floyd steal my entire back catelog
* Countless embarrassing displays of insanity
* believing in conspiracy theories
* disliking Israel, and other silliness |

Working when I did my dissertation, and during the semester breaks. We had the money, and could have comfortably relaxed the summers and winters away on a beach somewhere and seen some interesting places. I would have finished up my dissertation much faster, too!
In the end, nobody looks back and wishes they would have worked more. |

I have had more regrets than I can possible count. Even as a non-believer in godmen and religions, I condemmed myself long ago to as many hells as is possible for one soul to occupy.
But....in true spirit of the butterfly effect, if I had changed even one event in my life, I quite possibly may not be where I am today, and more importantly, with who I am today, and without my son and another on the way.
For those, I can deal with what I deal with. So, no regrets. |

I wish I had worked at least a moderate amount through high school and put it in savings. Would have been nice. |

I try to live a life with no regrets, but I have a few:
Not going with the boy whom I had the biggest crush on for the majority of my college years for someone whom I thought was "better". The guy was Korean (I'm not), the only child, and his parents knew about me. I didn't care enough about the Korean culture back then to understand that significance.
Declining admission to a top ranking university to be closer to home.
That's basically about it. Sure I could have made better decisions here and there but with everything else, I learned from. So it's 2 out of 5. I'm hoping it never reaches 5. |
I cancel my first regret. It must have happened for a reason. There's noway I'd be here where I am now and getting to know the person that I'm appreciating at this moment, if it wasn't for the simple fact that I picked the absolute wrong guy back then. |
