I made a really horrible/more or less stupid choice when I was young, like 14. I got in trouble by the police over something I didn't think I would get caught for. Honestly at that age, I thought I was invincible. "That wouldn't happen to me?" kind of mentality. But I spent the weekend at the local training center (which, sunday was recreation day and that was also the first place I saw the movie Scarface - which if you never saw it, it basically teaches you how to be a criminal,lol) So, you tell me,lol, but really as much as I wished I never made that stupid decision, I'm glad it was a humbling experience and I was young and never made another stupid decision to jeopardize my freedom like I did before. I learned about how much I really enjoyed my freedom and the choices I had to and have to make. That's what I believe is most important, learning from the bad mistakes to make better choices because life is not a spectator sport. If you give up when it gets bad then you only started on the wrong foot.
First off, Everything happens for a reason. You may have made really horrible, regretful mistakes that you simply wish to undo. But here's the thing. You learn through your mistakes. As you make mistakes, you gain experience. Look at it as a positive ting.
1) My last girlfriend I wouldn't have dated at all. The first girlfriend, I would have been more gutsy and independent. I would have been quicker to see some things I should have seen ahead of time and take care of those issues right away. I would have made better choices with handling people in general, and stopped dealing with people that were just trying to bring me down.
2) I had the opportunity for a non paid internship at a graphic design firm. I wonder what would have happened had I taken that job instead of putting school first. I suppose it worked out though, because just after I graduated, there was a nasty professor that gained control of the degree program I was in. Had I chosen to delay my college career, he might have had more influence over my GPA, and would have attacked me more than he did when he was professor. So, perhaps I really did luck out in being able to leave before he got too much power. But part of me would have liked to have taken the internship.
3) I would have made better career choices, and NOT advertised with certain people I shouldn't have advertised with. These advertising companies made promises that weren't kept. and they wasted a lot of my money. I would have joined my chamber of commerce earlier. And I'd probably be better off financially.
4) I'd have worked out more, I think.
5) I wouldn't have worked for certain companies that cheated me out of money promised, and would have made smarter choices about how to handle these companies.
6) I would have ultimately gone for a different degree, or at least went for an extra degree sooner.
i have one regret. it was having a one night stand when I got out of the army, I was 19 she was 27, I was drunk, when I sobered up and seen her, I totally lost my drive to finish, so I faked it. I guess when I was drunk I gave her my number, and she always blew up my phone, she was my only, not so attractive in so many ways, kinda girl and I just wish I didn't do it. thank god she didn't become pregnant.
Alot of things.I'd say a good 50% of my choices.whether they be.
- quitting a specific job/burning bridges - not talking to this one guy or acting a certain way around this guy.or how I handled situations with guys from my past - spending money on stupid things when I could have saved
Well one thing that I would like to erase from my life is when I was 4 I had gotten rapped and I would like that to erase from my memory. But I wouldn't want to redo anything because things happen for a reason.so I will just leave it like that
I wish I hadn't been so NICE during this one incident. An ex-boyfriend was trying to have sex with me. I was saying no repeatedly, and he was still trying. Pulling my clothes off and such.
I wish I hadn't been so scared of hurting his feelings that I didn't actually do more about it at the time.
The way I look at it, if it once made you happy, then you shouldn't regret it. Like everyone else, I've done things that, in hindsight, I'm not proud of, but at the time those things made me happy. I won't regret anything that made me happy, even if it was only for a moment. So, no, I wouldn't change what I've done.
I think everyone at one time or another has did something that they are not proud of. The thing is we can only learn from our mistakes and try not to repeat them.
Umm.I would redo letting go of this awesome guy that I let go . now I know that Karma is a witch so let that b a lesson to everyone. No but I stopped all contact with him which was the biggest mistake I made when he really liked me.If only we had the chance to redo or have second chances with someone in my case it would be great but life don't work that way sadly.=/
I don't think I've ever made a horrible mistake that had a huge impact on my life. They may have sucked in the moment, but I can't even think of one right now. . .I try not to worry too much about the past--it happened, and that's just the way things are.
I think the main thing for me is that I've always been really shy, which is something that's affected my entire life. I definitely have regrets because of how quiet I am, but nothing about my life would be the same if I changed that, and my life isn't that bad.
