Any Regrets?

[TehCookie]

A lot of relatively minor things, nothing like "I wish I didn't smoke, or do drugs" because I never did, but more like "I wish I wasn't a dick then" or "I should have told her how I felt about her".
Gah, bad memories, back to being socially awkward and emotionally repressed!

Pretty much this, the first one coming to mind is me being completely tsundere to the first voice actor I met. Still feel bad about being a jerk when I asked for his autograph then embarrassed for stuttering thank you while running away like a schoolgirl. I laugh about it in hindsight though.

The most recent one would be procrastinating on my homework. I should probably get off the escapist now so I don't regret it further.

I have plenty of regrets. I'm not telling you, though. I don't know you.

I don't have any huge ones that come immediately to mind. Little ones like lost loves, missed opportunities mostly.

Nah, I'm good. I've said and done my fair share of stupid shit, but what's done is done, and you can't change it. I try not to dwell on things I can't change. Sure, I'll wish I hadn't done something, but that doesn't last long and I just move on.

I acted wrongly, made bad choices and lost the love of my life. To this very day I see her everytime I close my eyes and think of her as soon as I wake up.

I regret a lot of my life.

I live in the moment though.

And sometimes in the future

I have more than a few things that I regret, but when it comes down to it, why beat myself up over it, I cannot change my past, what's done is done, what's important is learning lessons from one's mistakes, and moving forward.

Though that isn't to say karma can't be a *****, just saying, you may never live something you did down, but don't ever let that be because you can't move on yourself.

I dumped my high school girlfriend a few months after graduating. I feel really guilty about having done it but during that semester of college I tried it became painfully obvious that she and I had no business being together in the first place (I didn't want to go to college to begin with).

Spoiler: gory details

She and I started dating when we were Sophomores. She went to Japan in our Junior year and we were back together for Senior Year when she came back to the states. After high school I got a job and she pushed me to go to community college at least. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and still don't and, at the time I wasn't willing to spend money on an education I wasn't sure I was going to use (it also seemed like a waste taking a bunch of random classes for things I probably wouldn't pursue anyway). Anyway, while in college I met more people and ended up making out with one of them (think Triana Orpheus' Mom at Triana's age). That happened, I was struck by guilt and realized if I could so easily start pursuing other people then the best thing to do would be to leave the one I was with. I know the break-up was the right thing to do, I just should have done it much sooner than I chose to. I would have probably been better to have done it 2 or more weeks before/after her birthday instead of a few days after. It probably doesn't help that I had and still kind of maintain a crush on her best friend (nothing happened).
