 Posted: 23:49 - 20 Nov 2010 Post subject: Regrets. |
 |
|
I'm only 26, and already I've got a few regrets in life... mostly minor daft things but some (one) bother me more than others, the rest i've just learnt to accept as a "life experience" type thing.
in no paticular order:
1) - For my 18th birthday my grandad bought me a 1982 Audi Quattro Coupe (turbo), it was fuukin awesome, especially at 18 years old. like most yoof's would do, i raped it till it died (turbo packed up) then left it to rot as it was easier to just get another car, i wish i'd have repaired / maintained the car... it could have been stunning.
2) - my first "true love" cheated on me 3 times, each time i found out a little piece of me died.. at the time i was punching way above my weight, she was a proper stunner... yet i was so completely blinkered by her (rather amazing) bum and bed moving capabilities that i kept forgiving and giving her another go.. i wish i'd have told her where to go the first time she let someone else supprise sex her back door on a drunken sat night out.
3) - i dont get on with my mum, see her twice a year at most... we're just very different people, it's a really long story why we dont get on and it's not that we hate each other, but more that we've just learned to accept we dont get on and leave it at that, i wish i'd made more of an effort instead of just bailing at 15.
4) - (this i'm least proud of) after splitting with girl from number 2, i started seeing a girl called Laura, she wasn't anything special but was a nice enough girl who was in the (for her) wrong time at the wrong place - we went out for about 12 months, and within that time i cheated on her i think 6 or 7 times, including with her best friend, and her "enemy" as she put it... it wasn't a good relationship, and i wish i'd have never put her through it. (although i do take comfort in that i dont think she ever knew about the other girls)
5) - easy one - i didn't see enough of my grandma before she died, we were really close but i really should have made more of an effort to see her, just like i should now make more of an effort to see my grandad, i wish i could sort my time better to go see him more.
6) - the one that bother me still - as a child (up to 20ish) i had one best friend, James, we were inseperable. even after we left school we could go for months without seeing each other or speaking, but then just meet up one day and pick u where we left off, we would think the same things at the same time, if i found somthing funny i know i could look at jim and see him sniggering etc... just really good friends. i was / am really good friends with his parents too, to the point where if i called in to see them, they'd winge at me if i didn't just walk in etc... anyway, we both got partners and started seeing each other less and less, i heard from a friend of a friend that he had got married a few years ago, and was pretty gutted he didn't invite me, especially as he knew where i lived etc and i've not changed my number in years - so it wasn't a case of invite lost in the post etc.. i tried getting in touch but pretty much just got ignored. i got married 18 months ago (about 18 months or so after him) - i sent him an invite but heard nothing. i known he got it as his parents came. (then there was some form of a slagging match on facebook between my mum and his now wife, but i'm not on facebook and had no interest in knowing what was said). He was my best mate and although i genuinely dont know what went wrong, i really wish we'd have stayed in touch, there's times i really could just do with a chat.
I'm sure there's more things i regret, but to be honest i've just finished my pint and need to go get another one.
Anyone else got any regrets they want to get of their chest?? might make you feel better???? ____________________ Previous: Cub50, NRG50, TS50, YB100, CB125, NSR125, ZZR600, CBF1000, SV650s, ZX6R B1H, XT250, Mito Powered Crosser, WRF450, , FZ600, VN800, GSXR600 - Currently CB1000R |

Paddy i'd love to say perhaps it's not too late, and you could make some cheesy grand romantic gesture to show hoer how much you've changed and can be the person she always wanted you to be - but in reality, the ships probably sailed, and i'm sorry mate!
Also...
7) - having just finished my last bottle of Grolsh, and having to drink cheap champagne (it's all we've got in the fridge) from a pint glass, i regret not buying more beer earlier today when at the shop. oh the shame. ____________________ Previous: Cub50, NRG50, TS50, YB100, CB125, NSR125, ZZR600, CBF1000, SV650s, ZX6R B1H, XT250, Mito Powered Crosser, WRF450, , FZ600, VN800, GSXR600 - Currently CB1000R |

I don't think about it.
Regrets chip away at some folk.
I made my decisions/procrastinations in that time, not this.
Do i regret my failed attempt at leaving society and living in a commune....nah. Failed marriage....and the rest of life's blah blah blahs...nah.
I'm happy where i'm at. Even when it's shitty i have my music....Oh and bikes of course.
Live n learn ..Twee but true.

As with Ariel:
| Quote: | To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to others is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken,
because the greatest hazard in life is to do nothing.
The person who risks nothing,
does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave,
they forfeited their freedom.
Only the person who risks can be free |
I have many regrets, but the way I see it the past doesn't matter.
The past can be an indication to your future, but can also be learnt from to improve things next time.
Some things can never be redone, but life is never perfect and if was probably wouldn't be because it was . |

Think i've said this before..best mistake i made was becoming a Dad.
Believe me..i am NOT Dad material.
If i'd known that that night would give me a really nice human being, i still wouldn't of slung my leg over... simple as.
As it happens, my character has adjusted...well abit.
Get over it and get on with it.

If you don't have regrets then you have never lived in my opinion.
Our mistakes shape us and our opinions, the bad decisions shape who we are and help us experience life. No regrets = No life!
We all have a lot of regrets, my regret was driving home after the pub instead of the taxi. It cost me a career, a license for 12months and 5 years of ridiculous insurance policies.
But, Ironically, after going back to my old job temporarily, I'm still here 4 years later, and met my fiancee. Strange how things work out isn't it?
I also regret spending more time in the pub than in college
But as other people have said, I always regret the things I didn't do, the things I was scared of doing and the offers I said No to. It's always the way, you will always regret saying No, and not doing something, more than you regret giving it a go and it not working out. |
