Regrets and Missed Opportunities
Hey... As I was exiting the TTC sardine can this bright and fresh morning, a thought popped into my head about how many things I've regretted not doing... then I remembered about this really nice guy I ran into at the guv recently.
When we were just leaving scumfrog he just up and intro'd himself. He said he's been here for like a yr and half and was going back home to the USA in 4 mths. I was so caught up in leaving for home that I totally bailed on extending a big welcome (and I could tell he wanted to hookup as friends). Now I regret not extending a big TOTA welcome. Wow... I really screwed that up...I cuda made his last 4 mths a memorable party(only) time in our big TO.
So I was wondering...have any of you TA's gone thru this too? How about sharing some stories here.
BTW...Missed romantic encounters count too

I had one big regret, but as it turns out, for certain things, it's not too late to change things around...
I used to like a guy in my high school but i left in gr 10 without ever hooking up with him. Turns out 7 years later we hooked up after all, and now we've been together for 2 years hehe
Hmmmm what else... I regret not having taken better subjects in my A-Level, i'm screwed now because of that.
I regret not having kept an eye on my dog before she got taken
I regret going out with a bunch of losers till i met my bf (haahahahaha who doesn't tho??)
I don't regret not having a lot of girl friends though. That's one thing my mother always said i'd regret but i still don't. Guys are so much easier to get along with! (minus some rare girls who are totally cool)

ROBBIE WILLIAMS - NO REGRETS
Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not estranged
I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...
*CHORUS*
No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now/ they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
I know from the outside
We looked good for each other
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother
I don't want to hate but that's
All you left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of
How we all could live
*CHORUS*
No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets now/ they only hurt
(we've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(you're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you
(goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead
Remember the photographs (insane)
The ones where we all laugh (so lame)
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you it was a real blast
No regrets/ they don't work
No regrets/ they only hurt
Write me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine
Everything I wanted to be every
Time I walked away
Everytime you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Everytime you looked at me and
Everytime you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often i sit down and think of you
For a while
Then it passes my by and i think of
Someone else instead
I guess the love we once had is

I agree with you. I feel like I can trust guys more, and I feel more comfortable with them. Alot of girls I know have back stabbed me, or they are just too much drama for me to handle.

That may be, but guys aren't as pretty.

regrets....
somone once told me it's better to regret the things you have done, than those you haven't...and convinced me...
but the same person managed to prove that that isn't always the case....

Regret is the worst feeling in the world.
The only way to avoid feeling it is to treat everyday like a fresh canvas and learn from mistakes.
Most regrets seem to be caused by not having the guts to action things your mind is telling you to do, or being forced by someone else to not do the things you really want to do, and the second is usually a sub-genre of the first.
