What was your "should've, would've, could've"?

I should have brushed my teeth and kissed my best friend. Also I should have rocked her world instead of pushing her away.

I regret being so anxious and unadvenutrous in my early life. I wish I had done more physically challenging stuff while I could have.

Pretty obvious one here. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about quiting smoking or regret starting.

I have tried pills, patches, and crying into my pillow. Nothing works.

I WILL DIE FROM SMOKING..

So kids, let my death be a lesson. It is so terribly expensive to smoke for 30 years. And stairs are a obstacle now. And I stink and non-smokers don’t want to kiss me. Please don’t start. If you don’t start my death will be worth it.

I regret this *&%^$$#@!! recession that has left me teetering on the brink of destitution in my middle age after years of solvency. I wish I would have finished my education years ago and not married young and I would have a really good career now.

@johnpowell I hear ya, I have been on the smoking merry-g-round too. Oh well, we have to die of something, and who knows, maybe smoking won’t kill you, maybe you’ll get hit by a bus or struck by lightening or mauled by a grizzly bear or maybe you’ll trip over your shoe and fall down the stairs. lol

If that doesn’t cheer him up, nothing will. ;-)

At least that shit is fast and won’t bankrupt my family.

I should’ve been a better daughter when I lived at home. I was such an ass at times and I regret those days now. I know I put my parents through hell.

I should have accepted myself earlier. I could have avoided that depression.

I have a lot, maybe too much,
Sometimes when I drive, always alone,
They all line up, and parade inside my head,
Oh, how I wish I were dead

Occasionally, I’ll find myself screaming,
Screaming at my mind, SHUT UP!
I KNOW WHAT I’VE DONE!
LET ME BE! I know what I’ve done…

Once I had to pull over, the pain was so great,
Regret and hatred raging at my sins,
I stumbled to the tall grass and puked,
Never made it to school that day

I wish I could take it all back,
All the pain I so carelessly caused,
And inside I know I want to cause more,
And inside I know that’s the me that was born

I see him everyday I look in the mirror,
His smug face leering back,
“Come play,” it says patiently,
Like it’s only a matter of time

But would it be best to take it all back?
Because if I never wronged her,
Would I be living, striving to become,
Someone of whom she could be proud?

Doesn’t matter, this is my path now,
No turning back, no turning back,
All I can do is strive… and fear the coming time,
When it and I switch places in the mirror.

I wish that I would have been a good kid when I was 5 to 10 years old. I made my family’s life miserable. I’m so sorry for that.

I coulda bin a contender…

When I was about nine, I killed a cat by shear stupidity. It was in the middle of giving birth, the kitten was half in, half out. It was a breach and stuck and the cat was howling. I tried to pull the baby out, but it wouldn’t budge. I was just eviscerating the mother in the process. I panicked. I thought that I could just put her out of her misery by putting her to sleep, so I tied a plastic baggie over her head. I thought she would just quietly go, but instead she struggled for nearly an hour, heaving, trying to get air, struggling to live. I’ll never forget it. It bothers me to this very day.

I have no regrets concerning the people who’ve come and go in my life. I feel things could have been no other way given the circumstances. Playing square helped. And I’ve been very lucky.

I probably should have been more ambitious money-wise. It just never interested me. I took great gambles, risking total insolvency, and later even homelessness, in order to have freedom from the corporate life and wage slavery. When I had a steady income, I should have made a few more minor investments. It wouldn’t have affected my lifestyle, much. Counting pennies and watching stocks always bored the hell out of me. And in my last profession, I saw many people who regretted not taking their liberty—sailing the seas, tromping through Europe and Asia, or just stabling a horse for weekend riding—while they were still young and healthy, and this was strong impetus for me to live for today. So, it’s not regret, really. Staying out of debt accomplished the same thing, I suppose. But a few more long-term investments would have been the wiser thing.

@Espiritus_Corvus Oh, poor kitty, what a sad story. Killed her with kindness.
I understand your sentiments perfectly about not playing into the corporate scene, never was my thing either, one of the reasons I divorced my corporate sociopathic ex husband. Sure, I wish I had made some different choices here and there myself but, what price freedom? I enjoyed a lengthy stretch of freedom until my titanic hit the ice berg of this depression.
Sail on, sail on sailor.

I killed a bird with a BB gun when I was about 10. That’s the day I learned what death really was. Nothing could bring it back and it floored me. That said, I love bbq chicken – so I guess I got up off the floor.

I also quit my first, really successful job out of sheer, stupid, short-sighted, naivety.

Should’ve stayed married longer, been more mature about working things out. My kids suffered. I should have just waited a few more years.

I should’ve acted more quickly on things, not let them get out of hand.

When I was about ten, my best friend begged his mom for over a year to get a dog. Finally, she told him that if he could bring home an A-average, he could have one. I don’t think she really believed that he could, she just wanted him to shut his pie hole. We were all blown away when this jerk started bringing home straight A’s. His mom begrudgingly got him the cutest little border collie pup. Then, because this asshole kept his grades up, my mom started in on me to bring up mine. I couldn’t go home without her nagging at me day and night about my grades. My “best friend” was ruining my life. So one day when nobody was home at his place, I threw the goddamned dog in the river. His grades bottomed out and my mom finally got off my back and everything got back to normal again. Thank God.
