Hi
What are you biggest regrets in life?
Mine is breaking up with an ex a few years ago. I broke up with her due to my own insecurities. The thought of never holding her in my arms again kills me.

Also losing the love of my life, but I think all of us have done that at some point.
I wanted to....I just couldn't get the words out.....looking back I think he was waiting for me to say it....I just.......(shrugs)
Edited to say that I should have told others to fcuk off way before I did. Would have saved me a shed load of hassle.
Lol ......... i can't say i'd have been too bothered if mine hadn't had me either.
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption:D
The only regret I have was that I started smoking when I left school and burnt money up buying cigarettes until I saw sense at 40. :mad:
My take?
I love travel and since the age of 35 (I am now 54) I have travelled a lot - the outside Europe ones are the most memorable for me - India, Tanzania, USA, Bolivia, Thailand, Australia, South Africa. I wish I'd been able to start doing this a lot younger - and maybe that I'd done a 'gap year' somewhere along the way rather than going school/ uni / teacher training / teaching with no other experience.
Aniothe regret is not thinking through some of my financial decisions - I've had some nice home improvements done over the years and as of now our house is as we want it - but the way we did it was to extend the mortgage and that may mean me having to work till I am a lot older than I would have wished to. In the next 3 or 4 years I will be doing all I can to engineer retirement but it may be financially impossible - someone should have advised me better along the way.
after 15 posts,
I hope so
Buying a house in 2008:D
Now my digital profile will be on the internet for generations to come and I will be judged because of my digital footprint: [A digital footprint is a trail left by an entries or interactions in a digital environment; including the usage of TV, mobile phone, internet and world wide web].
Digital footprints provide data on what information you have searched for in the digital environment; and are invaluable in assisting behavioural targeting, personalisation, targeted marketing, digital reputation, which other social media or social graphing services can use to there/their advantage - which is something we all leave on t'web....
It is something that wont be erased no matter what we do, so future and present 'googlers' will get a false impression of what we mean to others...
Try it - google your name and location and witness your history in the making.....
Not saying 'I love you' and 'Thank you' to my nan and grandad before they died
Not doing well at school, although I think I havent turned out that bad
Not coming out when I was in my teens. I feel I've missed out big time
Not buying two, when I could have done.
Ending a relationship because he told me he loved me, i panicked, it was too late to fix.
Not staying on at school for sixth form, resulting in me dropping out of college twice and uni twice....
Moving in with my best mate, ruined our friendship.
Choosing the wrong people as my friends.
Getting myself into debt.
Starting self harming, vicious addiction.
There's more. But that will do for now.
Also, I was quite needlessly a c*** to someone I was fond of and it still bugs me to this day that I was that way with them.
I would have to include my grandparents as well.
