Missed moments

[exsanguis]

It is surprising just how much we, as mere mortal shells, find ourselves losing as the years go by. We have our memories of course, but there are almost always times in those memories where we wish we had done something different, said something wiser or more amusing. I was just wondering if people would be willing to talk about them, to post what they miss most about thier lives so far. To start the ball rolling, here are three from me. More to follow later I imagine.

 

1. I regret not having a camera with me so that I could have taken a picture of the sunset yesterday. It was amazing, and well worth the rain that followed.

 

2. I regret my actions following the break-up with my first girlfriend. I lost a lot of friends due to my excessive self-pity, and missed many oppurtunities to make new friends before I got over it.

 

3. I regret not having the guts to ask someone I met in college to go out with me-would it really have been so unbearable if she had of said no? It seemed so at the time. Now the chance is forever lost-barring an unforseeable incident of course.

1.) I regret breaking up with my first boyfriend and getting together with my second. My second was a jerk and put me through hell and my first turned his life around and would have been a great friend even if we had broken up, but I ruined that by breaking his heart.

2.) I regret attending Bishop Ireton. I wanted to go to public school but I wasn’t allowed. Instead of speaking up for myself, to be passive to my mom. I was really unhappy there, and it took a huge event to convince my parents that I was better off. And if they had allowed me to go to Mt. Vernon, I would have been a full IB Student with a large amount to college credit and a better chance to have gotten into a great college.

3.) Even though I was unhappy at Ireton, I made some really great friends in Theatre and I could have remained friends if I had not cut off anything Ireton related. And the same thing goes with George Mason; when I left there, I cut off my friends, too. And now, I am left to only have friends from work, and I hope maybe the Pen….please be my friend???

4.) I regret not taking more walks and not going to D.C. more often. I regret not enjoying the experienced I DID have and writing them down so I could recall them now.

5.) I regret not signing up for yoga, exercise classes, and cardio kickboxing when I had more time.

6.) I regret not being appreciative for all the things I take for granted.

7.) I regret not spending more time with God and His Son. I really miss Him and it’s hard to maintain that relationship.

8.) I regret that I have had super-low self esteem when I could have been happier.

 

I am sure there are others, but these are the ones on my mind.
