I said goodbye when I should have just taken a breath and given us both a little time. No turning back from that one :( It taught me something important though. When you think you can't handle something anymore, before you act or react just take a little longer to think and reflect in you, instead of them. What's going on with you that you can change and that might reduce the tension. That was my lightbulb moment.

but I truly dont have any regrets. I have learned from every experience (be it positive or negative) thought it has taken me a long time and much inner exploration (emotonally and mentally people) to get to this aspect. If you had asked me this only 2 years ago and I would have written a list that may have taken up a large proprotion of the screen but now my outlook has changed and I do think Im beginning to grow up....sigh...

I only have 1. Not pulling my head out of my ass much earlier, if I had the mindset and mental "toughness" I have now, I wouldn't have squandered the best thing that ever happened to me.

I've done plenty of stupid things and will probably continue to do so. I'm a slow learner but I'll get there in my own time. “Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.” ― Henry David Thoreau - Posted from rhpmobile

Other people were hurt, some were saved, others who shouldn't have benefitted BUT ultimately I lost the one thing I believed defined me....myself. Someone said in a recent forum about bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. It's true. But I have to have faith that someday no matter what, I'll be back on top again. Growth through adversity, I am not who I was but I can be better than I was. Every seed, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit and in 3 words I can sum up everything I've learned about life, "It goes on." Promise Yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.” ― Christian Larsen

I don't have a true regret... Yet. But I have a feeling that one day I am going to look at my life an regret that I didn't take more risks. I sometimes feel that me being a responsible adult, which is a bloody chore by the way, is just me playing it safe.

Leaving a job I loved for the woman I loved..........at the time and now 15 years later I find myself in a clapped out relationship, clapped out business in a clapped out town!! LOL, I feel better now, phewww its off my chest. Regrets are just that though arent they, we really do love to dwell on the negatives in life sometimes but I guess if we were happy with everything we would still be swinging around in the trees!

For me ,the very worst things that have happened , have also been the very best.Sometimes life happens when you least expect it and the changes that come take you to a better place,literally.

Good point Freya, one door closes and another opens. Sometimes it takes a fair bit of inner strength to push that door closed though doesnt it!

There's a million things I would have done differently, though I regret none, I don't see the point. Dare i say it, but its all about 'moving forward', so many of us live in the past ..for some, it's a way of life. There's no time like the present. Regret not living in the now instead!! Mr S

A friend asked me to go on a long distance trip with her and another friend so they had a third driver. I said no, because I was in year 12 and had exams coming up. Told her I'd catch her when she got back though. She never made it back. The other friend fell asleep behind the wheel. He survived, she died instantly. Biggest regret of my life. So much guilt.

I dont regret many things in my life .I have made many bad choices along the way but these mistakes I have learned from and as a consequence have made me a stronger , better person. The only true regrets are when those poor choices affected people I trully cared about.

Theraputic hopefully . I regret going down for an afternoon nap when I was about 6-7 months pregnant with my now 20 year old daughter! I regret that nap as I don't know what happened...I woke up thinking EVERYTHING was poison! I stopped eating and even stopped drinking water or any other liquid! I got to the stage that I would only eat Teddy Bear biscuits and never the first or last one in the pack as I thought if they were poisoned it would be the first ones that would be affected! When I got back into cooking, I would cook only once in the pots and pans and then throw them out with the dishes and cutlery I used! Medication including Panadol had me paralysed in fear (and still does). I went down to 32kgs and noone was able to help me...I rang the Anorexia society and they told to ring the Bulimic Society who told me to ring the Anorexic Society and so the circle of hell began as noone knew what was wrong with me! . My biggest regret of that day was watching the news (There was a poison scare on Colgate) before my nap! My biggest regret is allowing he fears to take over my life! My biggest regret is still having those fears and many more and not being able to find a way out..even with professional help! My biggest regret is...I lost me and I can't find her! xFunlovingx

I only have one. Not speaking to my best mate because his EX WIFE assumed I was sleeping with him, this prompted her to abuse and harass us both and it was easier to avoid than deal with, or so I thought. He was my dearest friend and had been since I was 13, I hadn't spoken to him in almost a year when he was killed in a motorbike accident. True regret to me is something you can never get over, I will never get over this. My lesson, never turn away from the people you truly love.- Posted from rhpmobile

Hi! Hun :) I choose to look at Life's experiences as part of My "Life Journey" Learn Positive lessons from them . I've no time for regrets that's negative and keeps us tied to the past blocking our growth to be all we can be..At that time given what I knew I felt they were the best choices . Frankly there was no reason it should have all fallen in a heap I never burnt my bridges as they say but the actions of others turned My Life into years of upheaval and Loss in everyway.. In hindsight would I have changed things YES! Do I regret My Journey NO! Slowly I'm striving to be all I can be and hopefully helping others along the way . Mind you winning the Lottery wouldn't go astray he!he! .Cheers Lu :)

I only have a single regret & that woman is now gone forever from me, even though we are still friends. What we felt for each other was amazing & I've never had it since & doubt I will again and I was too foolish to realise what I could of had. It's the only thing I regret in my life and it's frustrating how age & experience show you what you should have done even though there's nothing you can do!

I only have one regret in life and that is not being able to say goodbye to my mom. My daughter was in hospital at that time struggling with her own life. I was torn between being a mother and being a daughter. My mom would have understood why I couldn't go back home to be with her but I regret not giving her a last hug, kiss and tell her how much I appreciated and loved her. Now, I take the time to tell people that I care about how much they mean to me.
