I just recently found out that one of my best female friends from college passed away in May. I discovered her funeral arrangements on the internet. I really regret that I came across this because I was actually searching her name to see if she had divorced her husband and was finally free.

When we met things were so different. Our world — Catholic High School was safe, not real at all. Christ, we were just kids. You are still a kid and our ten-year-old daughter needs a father, a man. That’s why I pursued Jimmy. He’s trustworthy, an earner. He’s someone good from our world. There are so many assholes in Jersey. You and your boys are assholes. I don’t regret running off with Jimmy, I regret the day you walked up to me and said hello all those years ago.

I am sorry for what you are experiencing and I am not responsible for your emotions.
I am sorry that Life with me was not all up — you sure enjoyed the top of the roller coaster. I’m glad you didn’t fall when you got off at the bottom.
Now the chain is clanking and my car is on the way back up. I’ll wave from above.

I regret not taking the opportunities when I had them.
I wonder what things would be like now…
My heart nearly shattered because of the insecurity you made me feel.
But maybe we would be one step closer to love instead of walking the path of pain.

I regret being there… the day I met you. I don’t want to love you crazily and leave everything else because this is the only way to love you. I regret this love.

I regret not pulling you close and telling you I love you. I regret ever looking at one second of porn. I regret not listening to God every time he speaks. I regret the friends I have lost. I regret the things I have said behind people’s backs. I regret ever feeling unloved. I regret so many things it is hard to count sometimes. I mainly regret ever thinking I was good enough to live my life alone.

I regret I am responsible for the difficulties you face today, the time and energy wasted and any more suffering you have to endure. I am sorry that I hurt the person I should look after the most. Hope you can forgive me and I promise things will be okay soon.

I regret not kissing you when I had the chance. If I had known that I would not see you again for a while and that we’d grow apart I would have madeout with you that day in the woods when I had the chance. You meant a lot to me and I’m sorry that things had to work out the way they did and that you moved on. Maybe it will change, but if not, life goes on.

I’m sorry I said no and avoided you. I wish I could turn back time and say yes to make you happy. It’s too late now, you have someone else.
I love you but it’s better if we avoid each other or else it’ll rip open healing wounds.
Have a nice life and please don’t completely forget me because I won’t forget you.

I regret falling for you. I should have known we would decide not to risk our friendship. I regret letting you think I was over you. That just gave you more options — more ways to torture me, though you did not know it. I regret ever letting you go after her. I regret encouraging you. I know that she will hurt you, giving me cause for more grief and regret. I regret letting myself care for you so much.

I never thought I’d be a person who regretted her health, who is pursued by pain, who wished for something better from her body, from the quality of her days.
For years, family and friends have assured me it will get better, but now I’m growing older and I’m losing the vitality that helps me overcome my afflictions. Is to suffer so much what it is to be human? If so, I regret that, too. I hoped it could also mean feeling well, here and there, alive with freedom of one sort or another and grateful for it.

I regret falling in love with you…

i regret saying no way too fast when they asked us to kiss that one time.
i didn’t want you to say no before me, then it would seem that i liked you way more than you liked me
so i said no, then you did
it was a missed chance
and now i would trade anything just to go back, and not say no first

i know that this isn’t something you’d like to remember, especially since you’ve moved on to my best friend.
but i regret that one time at adjas birthday party. We had been going out for like what, 3 months? and all we had ever done was hug because we were to scared.
we were hanging outside with our friend and her boyfriend. they were telling us how we were too shy around each other.
“hug”, they said. and we hugged
“kiss”, they said. and we didn’t.
i hurriedly said “no”, and you did too right after i did.
dear daniel, this was my only regret with us.
it was a missed chance, and now sitting here i realize it was all i ever wanted, but when the chance came i quickly declined so i wouldnt be put on the spot and have you say no.
I know they say “the only regrets in life are the ones you don’t take”
that is true. and this is my biggest regret
i still love you

To: Allie:
I regret not telling you my feelings for you. I was just too afraid of not being accepted by you, that I wasn’t good enough for you. So, instead, I just went to my corner and sat.
I think you wanted to talk and be more than average friends with me, but I was just too afraid.
Even after I worked harder to be good enough for you, my courage faltered.
Even after the day you came up to me after class and asked if I was depressed (and I was, but over you), I waved you off with, “I just had a bad week,” then walked off.
And as I remember these things, one quality of you stood above others: Your kindness. If someone was waiting longer than you, you’d politely inform the teacher that this other person was there, first. You genuinely cared for other people’s feelings, you’d act to not embarrass anyone around you and I’ve never heard any comment with sarcasm, hate or anything negative come from you.
So I simply sat and watched you, never acting and generally being an awful person to you, time passed. Soon enough, it was finals’ week and on the last day of school, I decided to tell you.
The whole day, I steeled myself, braced myself for the worst, thought of all possible scenarios, what I’d say, where I’d say it, when I’d say it, what I’d do after acceptance or rejection. All this preparation and I didn’t tell you after class. I walked.
I mentally slapped myself and after the bell for summer rang, I looked for you, resolute and determined. Once again I saw you and once again my heart skipped a beat and once again my breath stopped.
And I watched. I watched you walk down the stairs and out the door, your ever-lasting smile on your face.
And then I walked. I couldn’t think, I was stunned that I didn’t even wish you a good summer. I even went outside to look for you, but I couldn’t find you. I should have looked more, to at least wish you a good summer. I couldn’t find you.
You changed my life, literally. After deciding I had to be better for you, grades rose, physical fitness improved, my circle of friends grew larger than ever! Yet I couldn’t even thank you on that last day of school, let alone tell you why you changed me…
I regret that day more than everything else in my life. And while everyone else is celebrating, I’m sitting alone with regret. By now, just two days after, I wish I would’ve asked and been refused. Because then I’d have at least tried.
The thing that makes it all worse is that there’s nobody else to blame. It’s all on me.

mom and dad:
Im sorry you didnt want to take out a loan for me when I was kicked out of my ivy league school 3 years ago. Im sorry because of all the responsibility you’ve put on me to be your personal slave, Im flunking out of community college. Im sorry Im drowning in debt and I have no bank account. Im sorry I listened to you when you said I shouldnt get a job. Im sorry you prefer my other siblings to me that you make it quite clear that Im the black sheep of the family and that Im an utter disappointment. I overheard the conversation you had about me how you don’t think I’ll ever do well in life. You’ve officially sucked the life out of me. Im sorry Im overweight, I only gain weight to hurt you because I know how bad you want me to lose weight and because thats the only control I have left over myself I’ll continue to do so. Btw those diet pills the doctor gave me i sold them to my friend and I buy food with the money and the fact that my weight gain could kill me doesnt bother me because I feel like I died years ago and you’ve both been dead to me as well. My insurance runs out in a few weeks so even if I needed psychiatric help you wouldnt pay for it. And just like you predicted years ago that Id end up in community college? Thanks for cursing me. I also regret not taking summer classes last year and going away to school but instead I took care of you when you had that surgery. Thanks for ruining my life.

I regret telling you the truth. That the only reason why I turned you down was because I was a stupid freshman and I knew that my friends hated you. Who was I to give a crap about what they thought? I loved you, and you loved me, shouldn’t that have been everything? I hurt you one too many times, and now you’ve slipped away. I don’t blame you, I made the wrong choice. But I just want you back, I want to scream out to the world that I love you. And I know it could be really easy, I see you almost every day. But it’s not, and I regret what will probably never go down.

I do not regret being there for you even while you were with him. I do not regret being your best guy friend for months until it turned into something more. I do not regret any of the moments I spent with you or the fact that you are the first person I have ever been in love with.
I regret losing you. Losing one of my best friends. Losing the only person who has ever brought me to tears, of both happiness and heart break.
I have always loved you, and always will. This is why we cannot be “just friends.” I just can’t put myself through that pain again. Even through this pain, I wouldn’t dream of changing it. The time we spent convinced me that love is real. That relationships can be more than shallow meaningless flings, and the right person is out there.

I regret that I allowed myself to spiral out of control and let the bottle consume everything I loved about me and my life. I dont regret walking into that meeting and realizing Im not alone though. That silver plastic chip may seem insignificant to others but to me its a medal, proof that I will be victorious in this private war Im fighting. My enemy is a liquid I love to hate and hate that I loved. To the other alcoholics thank you for your kindness and hugs. To my husband that left me, Im sorry you could not be supportive and help me through this. I do not want you back after I am better. You bought the poison yet when it wasnt fun anymore you bailed? I held your hand through the nightmares of Iraq yet you could not hold mine through the withdrawals. Dear me, I love you and am sorry I hurt you…Love, Me

I regret making my boyfriend wait for me for 8 months because I am so ashamed to let him see me like this. I regret what I have thrown my body into. I regret being in the worst condition of my life. I regret not being myself. I regret talking to two other guys, who are both in love with me, while I was talking to my boyfriend. I also regret telling both of them I love them. I regret all the lies I told. I regret never starting over. I regret the nights I should have just been sleeping. I regret the cuts on me. And I regret putting my two cents in when you genuinely needed my help. I regret that my heart is now torn between three guys because of this. I regret that I am a proven mistake.

I regret making you feel like shit. I regret being the guy that should have made you feel better, but instead made life worse for you. I regret never having taken any time to get a gift for you, solely because I love you. And now you’re gone, with every piece of my heart. I took down the poster you made for me last night, and before I put it away, I kissed your lips on the picture. I regret never being able to kiss you again, or being able to feel you under the covers of my bed. But I’ll never regret loving you.
