I've been going back and forth in my head all week about regrets I have and things I would change, and I have tried to tell myself this but all I see happening is the thing's I have done coming back around in another way to haunt me. Does this happen to everyone? "Karma" I guess it is. I don't want to get into any real specifics about what's going on right now, but the one person I have talked to about it says that what I did, and what's happening now, can in no way be related. I think now feeling like I'm being "paid back" for actions I took have made me a smarter, better person. It's made me realize with choice there is consequence, and everyone and everything involved in a situation should be considered before taking any actions. These are thing's I've always known, but for the first time I'm going to apply these things to my daily life no matter what the situatiion. Sorry for the short rant...I guess thinking about all of this and reading a few of these posts made me realize regret isn't always a bad thing, it can actually be turned into something positive. (for some reason that just sounded like one of the lessons from South Park to me)

I'm with bwind on this one. I may have done a few things in my past of which I'm less than proud, but I cannot regret any of them. What I've done and the lessons learned make me the man I am today. Wouldn't change a thing, no regrets.

I regretted eating a mixed kebab from a dirty-ass store...always seems a great idea when you're wasted.
Fuck this place, it's made me sick twice. I regret that, but, it's lead me to the resolution of reporting them to the health department. It's really NOT hard to not make people sick...all you have to do is follow relatively simple procedures, procedures of which you should be abundantly clear when dispensing foodstuffs. Assholes. Not quite on topic, but I thought I'd share. I like this thread, I'm happy with the level of honest contribution here, thankyou folks.

I have quite a few. I'm a very sensetive person if I screw something up. Not really the other way around.
I have no one to blame for my problems but me. I regret a lot of things in my past, but I also have to look at it this way. Where would I be today if I had not made those bad choices? Would I be in jail possibly? Would I not have any friends? You can't erase your past, and you can only reflect on it. And reflecting on it can only hurt you worse than what it was. Most people go into depression because of regret. Life is too short to worry about things that you cannot change. Move on with things. Don't keep on going thinking that you should remember things that screwed parts of your past up.

I have one regret: That i didnt realize what kind of people my parents were becoming earlier...
Recently i had along phone conversation with my mother that really changed the way i look at my past. Bree and I had been getting into arguments about my relationship with my family. i used to be VERY close to them, and we are currentlyin New Hampshire, one of the last places we want to be now because i wouldnt leave an area near my family when we first met. Since then, they have pulled some pretty inexcusable shit. We were practically ignored by them at our wedding. my sister promised us wedding gifts, which never came. my mom changed the music we were playing (we had the wedding in my parent's back yard.. mistake...) and when one o fht eother guests asked about it her response was "its my radio, i can play what i want". Real mature... Then, this past spring, i had been unemployed for months when the area got slammed with a week straight of storms. the river going through our back yard rose to thepoint that they evacuated the park we live in. And we didnt know if our insurance covered floods (we have since found out that it does). We shacked up with my parents, who proceeded to go on with their lives as if we werent there, which is fine, but they were doing it to the point that they had no sympathy for our situation. We werea bout to lose EVERYTHIGN as far as we knew, with a 5 month old baby, and they acted as if we were over for dinner the 5th time that week. they were even put-out that we asked if they would buy us a playpen so that Lily would have a place to sleep, because we didnt have money, because there was no income in our household, because I didnt have a fucking job. 2 days later, i had gone for a job interview, which went well, for a $76,000 a year job. Then later that afternoon, i got a call for a technical screening from a guy who didnt know what he was supposed to ask me. he was asking me how i would program somehting over a phone.... thats kind of like asking someone to describe how you would write a detailed research project over the phone, it's stupid and doesnt refelct your ability to complete to task in any way. So i found out the day after that, ididnt get the job, because i got panned for the screening. Talking to my mom later, i mentioned it to her and she said "yeah, whatever.." and acarried on as if i had said nothing..... fast forward to our last conversation, it came out that my family fully intends to treat my niece better than my daughter because of the circumstances surrounding her birth (i wont get into it). That was the last straw for me. I tend to be the kind of person where shit just rolls off my shoulders, but hearing that my daughter was going to be treated second class was it. If i had known that my aprents had changed into those kind of people, i would have stopped talking to them a long time ago.

One of the most important parts of a person's life is their parents....it's a shame that it gets abused so often. I think sometimes if I could have changed one thing about my life, it would have been the people I was born to. I know that's horrible to say, but the sad fact is that some people should'nt have children.
I don't blame you for breaking with them.

I think the "I will not change fo rany reason now" was what finished it. My parents have decided that they are what they are and fuck the world if they dont like it. It's a real shame too. My dad was my best friend outside of Bree.
We'll see if their attitude changes in a few years...

@ Vodstok I'm sorry to hear that. That is how all of my relatives besides my parents treat me. I technically do not exist. No christmas card, no birthday phone call, nothing. My relatives only come around if they want something, and they are your best friend until they get it, then it's bye bye birdie. You don't hear from them for months. Needless to say, we do not associate with our relatives...
