If you could take back anything you did in life, erase the slate, would you?
Knowing that doing so may change you, change history.I regret my reserve, my unwillingness to give without restriction. So many people have wandered into my life and my reserve has held me back. how many more friends may I have if I lost my reservation? I would gladly take back being reserved.

That is a whole lotta question you got there. What is life without a few regrets? I don’t have a good head for quotes unfortunately.. but there is some perfectly good saying about.. Great love and Great Success aren’t acheived without great risk. And sometimes, one takes a huge risk on the wafter thin possiblity that something.. completely wonderful will result and we have to be prepared for whatever destiny or fate throws our way. Sometimes … you are left with a bitter taste in your mouth.. and an ache behind your eyes, and a massive weight on your soul. Regret. But.. there are also lessons to learn. And promises to make and keep. And opportunities to grow.
Let me… do some inventory, darlin.. And get back to you..:)Hmmmmm…I think I would take back not speaking up for myself at a younger age…Being a shy, reserved and often quite little girl, buring my feelings deep within me. And the feeling of my true spirit being held hostage…
So yes…even tho it may change some things in my life…still… it would be nice to go back and have that chance…

Failing my tests waaaaaaay back in elementary school. With my superior intellectual resources now, I’d ace ’em big time.

Aww come on Diablos. Think hard. There must be something else you regret more.
We’ve all slipped and shone our slipshod-ness in elementary school – anyways hey; it’s elementary school; marks don’t count. But failing tests – isn’t that a _lack_ of doing something? Verses the topic of this thread – if you could take something back that you _have_ done? Meh. Whatever.
The only test I ever failed in my full 14.99 glorious years of life – was way back in grade 3. I got 18% on a Math test – I forgot to borrow and carry numbers
. Heh. Got grounded for a month: no TV, no phone, no friends, no outside etc etc…I can think of one thing I regret the most doing. I broke someone’s trust forever and threw the rest of my life into a paper shredder. Okay I’ll admit it. I ran away from home when I was 11 – too young to know any consequences it would give – and went to my dad’s house for refuge to hide. For reference – I left home out of fear… not as a rebellious act. But meh, I did it so I did it and now I suffer the consequences of my actions.

Quote:quote:and threw the rest of my life into a paper shredder.Whoa girl, you did this at 11yo?. Dont be so hard on yourself there is 6/7ths of a lifetime to go OK so you broke a trust, you just need to work a little harder to re-earn it again.
Say, every time I prommised to run away from home my Mom offered to pack a bag for me.
Maybe funny now but wow what that did to my view of my own importance at the time was about 2 points below devastating.
Actually your life is a little richer for the experience, dont be so negative.rhiannon

PrettySelena888 liveI know it sounds simple n’ childish…
Every kid considered running away at some immature point…
But if only you know WHOSE trust I broke…. You’ll never meet a person like them. They’re not one for “re-building” things – ever again. Okay sheyah they full-out hate me. Bruises n’ scars tell stories ya know.. (Well at least I have my lifeguard first aid certificates… I mend myself! Hospitals suck my di-.. oh dear nevermind. )Here’s a hint of garlic – Okay so I’ve had to see 2 guidance counselors and 1 social worker on a regular schedule in the last… 5 months – because I can’t cope with my consequences. (I was also offered a shrink but I refused.. ) …And I always am stocked on gauze. Meh. That’s all I’m saying for now.
Let’s hear someone else’s story!

I threw my life away when I was 9 or 10. It’s solely my 4th grade teacher’s fault, I swear.

I use to think that there was alot that I would change given a chance, but as I matured, I relized, that everything I lived through, good or bad, has all been part of who I am now, I think of it as lifes learned lessons…..and being able to say your comfortable with who you are…..is a good thing…..so I definatly would not change anything…….I didnt turn out to be so bad after all……smiles

I have regrets, and things I would love to change, take back, and undo. Hurts I have caused with my temper, or my sharp words. Things that I have said and done, that changed me, I wish I could undo. Time lost with my mother, when I had her. Time spent being angry or hurt with my dad, who is dying now. Time worrying about unimportant things, when I could have been sitting on a creek bank with my children, fishing or just talking more. Any or all of these things might change me, and the future, but I think each change would be for the best. I think I would love to have the chance to be a better wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend,…. a better human being.:)
We never lose the ones we love, we lose the person, but love never dies. 🙂
I would take back the way I treat an online friend, I always took for granted that she would always be there after 7 years of talking to her daily, so I said things alot of times that were not nice, if I could take that back I would, now she does no longer talk to me and I have only myself to blame.
