Of course don't let guilt and anguish over mistakes weigh you down. But like others have said, we're human and we fuck up. How are you going to not regret the day you hurt someone you care about for no reason? You are and you should.<BR/><BR/>But it's what you take from the regret that counts. I think the saying should be "Learn from your regrets" instead of live with them.<BR/><BR/>Just my personal take on it!Lopzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746662835146630607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-88246711145523863172008-11-25T15:21:00.000+00:002008-11-25T15:21:00.000+00:00I am quite surprised by everyone's replies.You are...I am quite surprised by everyone's replies.<BR/><BR/>You are all more regretful than I thought.

For one to say they don't regret any of those mistakes, well...maybe they're actually just not facing the fact that they made them.<BR/><BR/>Everyone has regret, they just handle it in different ways.<BR/><BR/>Maybe?Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254165746352156499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-2341550560654944902008-11-25T13:14:00.000+00:002008-11-25T13:14:00.000+00:00I don't have regrets, I have lessons.

Every stuff up I've made has been an important lesson... and much as I have often wished I could go back and change things, my decisions and mistakes have got me to this point. <BR/><BR/>That said, when I was looking back over my archives yesterday I found a few posts that I wished to hell I could have magically commented on and warned the past me about what would happen - it was like I could see my fall approaching, weird feeling. <BR/><BR/>I think we have to appreciate regret in a way, otherwise we will never learn those lessons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-539374571213632892008-11-25T11:58:00.000+00:002008-11-25T11:58:00.000+00:00I think you have to grow from your regret, learn f...I think you have to grow from your regret, learn from it and move on, thinking about it 24/7 will kill you, you cannot ever forget about it, and least I try to forget about it at times. <BR/><BR/>For me, I have regrets about the girl that got away, I lied, she foung out, and I truly believed that we could have gotten married, had I not stuffed it up...my fault, I think about this at random times, and it hurts like hell!

But I think, since I'm a pessimist by nature, it comes with the territory that I dwell on the past negatives of my life. <BR/><BR/>Actually? I think the smug 'no regrets' folks are blatant liars.

Thankfully, as time passes, the sharp pain of regret is blunted. <BR/><BR/>I think that this is why people adopt a no-regrets attitude - in order to be able to function and just get on with life.. otherwise, the regrets may totally swamp them...<BR/><BR/>It's difficult thing to balance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-11158307697232678942008-11-25T08:50:00.000+00:002008-11-25T08:50:00.000+00:00Ok this is the full version!Ok this is the full version!pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-55349966772875972512008-11-25T08:36:00.000+00:002008-11-25T08:36:00.000+00:00haha kitty I published this by mistake again!
