You know, I don't really have any regrets.

I think a regret is when you look at a situation, know you're making a mistake, do it anyway, and suffer a poor outcome.

ie: I ignored the red flag regarding my ex

I would have been nice to have the self confidence I have now when I was a teenager (who wouldn't). I used to regret never asking out my high school crush. If she said 'no' it would have devastated me. We graduated, she moved away to university and I couldn't ever find a way to connect to be able to talk to her. The odd occasion we'd see each other I'd always revert back to the too shy to talk kid. Even drunk at the bar. Heck I bet if I met her tonight, I'd be the same way.

I regretted taking the chance as once high school was over, who cares.

Then when I moved away to university, I did ask out a huge crush of mine. To say that went poorly would be an understatement. It did make me no longer regret asking out my high school crush, as I'll always have positive memories.

That said, I've been with my wife for a decade now, I have a 1.5 year old who is the absolute best. I'm beyond happy, so who cares about past mistakes?

I wish I knew about the warning signs of my cat being sick. However, I know the biggest signs never happened around me (up until the end she was normal with me in the room). 5 years is far too short for a little furball that lives in your heart.

I wish I still played hockey. But who has the time, or money? Frig. Goalie gear is damn expensive.

I wish I correctly picked last week's 649.

That said, regrets? Not really, but I'm sure I'd do things differently with a reset.
