The Things You Wish You Had Not Done
Are there things you did in your 20's that you wish you had not done now that you are older?
For me, I wish I had not wasted both money and time "experimenting" with drugs and alcohol. I wish I had not wasted so much of my time here on earth without taking the time to really know me. I wish I had not had a closed mind, thinking I knew more than I really did. |
I wish I had spent a lot less time listening to others tell me how to live my life.
I wish I had taken the time to realize that I wasted many years not listening to my gut feelings about so many things rather than giving others the benefit of doubt. I wish that I had been less generous in my life. Now that I am living on limited income and those folks are no longer around nor did they appreciate it; I could sure use that cash!!! I wish I had spent more time with my mother. Other than this I have no more real regrets. This is a great thread! |
I wish I had listened more and talked less.
I wish I had spent less on crazie ideas. I wish I had taken better care of my health,now im paying for it. I wish I had bought more land and less horses...would have worked out better. I wish I had stoped trying to prove something cause I didnt need to,I was fine the way I was. So much more ,but later. |
I wish I wasn't sitting at that red light when the truck behind me plowed into me.
|
I don't regret anything when I was young. It was good a time.
|
I wish I hadn't grown up. The 20's were an awesome time!
|
I wished I hadn't tried for so many years to make others proud of me when I know now I'm all that matters.
I wished I'd NEVER said I do, when I knew from the beginning I really didn't want to. I wish I had not stopped in town the evening Cindy died. Sure I wish I hadn't wasted some of the money I've spent over the years. All in all I've learned much from my mistakes in my life and there are only a few things I can honestly say I wish I had not done. |
I wish I had not done a lot of things....marry to get out of an abusive home....spend money wastefully....make poor decisions regarding trust....as I am sure that I could get to where I am now without many of them. I'd be much better off, I dare say.
|
There was only one time I ignored warning signs; it damn near cost me my life.

I started this thread because I feel that it's important to know what our regrets are, so that we understand better where we are and why, and what, if anything, we want to change about it.
I truly appreciate everyone's honesty. Sometimes I can see myself clearer through others and their experiences. For this reason, I am truly thankful for each and everyone one of your replies. Jesse |
I wish I had been bolder, experimented more, fooled around more, been braver about trying new things.
I wish I hadn't always worried about being a good girl, and that I had done more that was dangerous and a little risky. I wish I taken a cross country road trip, and that I had slept with more unsuitable butches, and drunk more tequila. |
i wish i hadn't spent some of my money the way i did
|
I wished I hadn’t believed that time was running out and always rushed to find out what was behind every corner. Though I’m grateful that I have experienced more than many because of it, I often wonder if I missed making the most of what was around me because I was always too busy packing and planning for the next leg of my journey.

I rarely have regrets. I have learned that every action has shaped who I am as a person, and I like who I am today.
In my 20's I wish I hadnt taken a bath in Lysol because I thought I had chiggers and read on the internet it was a home remedy. :seeingstars: |
BUMP........

I wish I hadnt believed the lies I suspected were lies
I wish I hadnt stopped working on my credentials. I wish I hadnt been sitting at that red light where that semi hit me in the front and then in the back (nodding to the Guy in Florida) I wish I hadnt used that damn hand held gas powered fence auger by myself that almost tore off my right arm I wish I hadnt fallen off my horse and broke my tailbone, broke ribs, suffered a head concussion, detached retinas, and lost my hearing for two weeks I wish I hadnt been such a piss poor mother to my child when I was drinking. I am so glad I am a much better mother now. |
I wish I hadn't fallen into the "do what's expected of you" trap that involved the marriage (to an abusive deadbeat loser) and the (falling down) white picket fence. I wasted so much time by trying to hide the "real" me...
I wish I had gone on to college instead of working 3 jobs to support the deadbeat, the deadbeat's juvenile delinquent teenage sister, and the deadbeat's drug-addicted homeless uncle. My son and I would be much better off right now if I had finished all my schooling early. I wish I had taken better safeguards with my finances, instead of getting completely hijinxed and railroaded from the identity theft by both the deadbeat and deadbeat's sister. (I'm still finding out about credit cards from 10 years ago that I never knew existed...) I wish I had never believed the old saying drummed into me by my family, of "you've made your bed now lie in it..." |
...wish I would have listened to my best friend and not have paid for a particular ticket.... she's very wise and knew I was wasting my money because there was no guarantee and it was sold "as/is".
....wish I wouldn't have left the Logistics field....I'd be an Operations Manager by now. ....wish I would not have wasted (spent so fast) the lump sum of money that I got last fall from my "retirement refund". Even if most of it went to bills and rent, I should have rolled it over into a Roth IRA (especially since I have no retirement fund after struggling as a single parent) and/or spent some to purchase my COBRA insurance. Yeah, I wish I woulda kept my insurance. ....after having insurance for 8 years, I wish I would not have waited so long to see a specialist about my Lupus...or left PA without talking to either of my doctors. (dinner's almost ready, catch up with ya later...) |
