Not Saying Goodbye To My Father
My biggest regret ever is not saying goodbye to my father. He was in the hospital, sedated and dying, but I didn’t realize it. I was in denial. We all thought he’d get better, and I never took advantage of any time I was with him alone. There were always nurses in the room and I felt awkward. But a few moments of awkwardness would’ve been better than a lifetime of regret.

Giving My Heart Away Too Easily
My biggest regret ever is giving my heart away too easily. I know that I fall in love waaayyy too easily. I love the idea of being in love, what can I say. People take advantage of this though — again and again. My heart should be more closely guarded.

Being Afraid to Try New Things
My biggest regret ever is being afraid to try new things. I like to stick in my “comfort zone.” I realize, however, that I have missed out on many awesome things that life has to offer because of this tendency.

Getting Fat
My biggest regret ever is getting fat. I was in pretty good shape at one time but have let myself slip into a world of obesity. I turn to food when I’m sad or stressed. It doesn’t help that my roommates eat nothing but junk food 24/7. Breaking this cycle seems impossible.

Not Getting In To the College of My Choice
My biggest regret ever is not getting in to the college of my choice. I worked my ass off in high school and it seems like it was all a waste. I thought FOR SURE I would get in. I guess I’m not good enough in their eyes.

Not Believing in Miracles
My biggest regret ever is not believing in miracles. If I’ve learned anything in my near 60 years on this planet, it’s that miracles DO happen to those that believe in them.

Letting You Go
My biggest regret ever is letting you go, letting you walk out of my life. I should have fought harder to keep you and to show you how special you are. Too little, too late.

Attempting Suicide
My biggest regret ever is attempting suicide. I tried to OD on pills when I was 16 years old. The hurt I caused my family and friends is something I’ll never get over.
