What's your biggest regret?

I once passed up buying a pair of forest-green suede shoes... went back to the shop the next day, already sold... sigh.
: (

I still think of them sometimes, when the weather's cloudy, the sun is low in the sky and the leaves begin to turn... ah, such sweet sorrow...

I regret not thanking Holdfast for not buying that pair of forest-green shoes.

They look marvelous on my feet.
 
Most of my regrets come from situations where I had to make a choice and would have been screwed either way. So they aren't completely regrets.

But sure, there's a woman out there who likely would have destroyed my life forever had I pursued her completely. Now I just miss her. I think I made the right decision though as not being destroyed completely has its advantages.

I had a similar experience, but it was a baby blue ribbed quarter zip pull over. I still miss it. More than that woman.

That's because when it comes to the women, we know we made the right decisions!
 
“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.” ~Sydney Smith

Pretty much the plan to go with. Man up and do whatever it is you're hesitating about. If it doesn't work out, that sucks. If you never try, though, THAT is the thing that will suck forever. Everyone has those "if only" moments, way worse than the "wish I hadn't done that" moments (usually ;) )
 
Biggest regret: not sticking up for myself when I was in middle school and had a student threaten me with my life and push me up against the lockers. I should have popped her one or done SOMETHING to make HER fear ME. I was too meek then and needed a backbone.
Also not being friends with the right crowd of people. Most of the friends I had were either strange, rich, or just put up with my crap.
 
Mine is having screwed up a budding relationship I had with a woman several years ago. We kept in touch sporadically since then. She stayed single. I moved on -- for the most part. Nowadays we don't talk at all, but she's still on my mind. I feel like Walter Mitty, always lost in my thoughts, while my wife struggles to keep me grounded in reality.

So what's your sad story?

That's not that sad, that's more like self indulgent and disrespectful.

I agree, but doesn't that make it sad? However, perhaps in a different sense than what he meant. The wife keeping this guy together while he's thinking about another woman from years ago . . .

I don't mean to sound overly judgemental but perhaps you should appreciate what you do have, a wife who cares.

Try not to have regrets.... Just shrug em off and keep going.

But the first thing that comes to mind is a short film I recently wrote and directed, that was just.... Terrible..... How terrible? Well, the saving grace was I got to see the lead actress in her underwear. Only good thing about it.

You should be regretting that you hadn't made it a nude scene! :guffaw:

At the time, the CD single had four tracks, while the tape single had two. It is also physically larger.


:shifty:
 
I have some regrets.

Not reacting faster and thorolly in getting help for my autistic child. I know he is advancing well now, but I feel like I could have gotten help earlier had I not been held back by other things. I should not have waited for answers to come to me, I should have demanded them and followed my instinct instead of chosing the easy route of waiting for the doctors to act and I also regret bending to the will of the childs father. Which was "don't stirr anything up that takes time and effort on my part". Which brings me to the firery red biggest regret of my life.

Joint custody.


I also have regrets in other areas. You know.. the I love you's, that I didnt say to my mom and brother before they died. One always thinks that there is time to say those things. But I hope they knew anyways. Somehow.
 
My biggest regret?

Pushing Jeff Goldblum off that balcony in New Zealand.

Mine is forgetting my camera at the restaurant after I used it to snap a photo of Squiggyfm pushing Jeff Goldblum off of a balcony in New Zealand. I went back half an hour later, but it was gone... that's millions in tabloid photo money down the drain. :(
