    Not dropping out of a college course as soon as I realised I wasn't getting anything out of it.

    Only learning to drive this year.

    Feel like I've wasted 10 years of my life.

    I try not to regret. But sometimes I just cannot help regretting decisions I made in the last few years. I have cared too much about what people have thought of me, taken on too much of other peoples stuff and forgiven a lot. I also annoy myself at how negative I can be. This is why I probably try not to regret!

    I kinda have the same, my granda was diagnosed with cancer and was dead 6 weeks later. It was the time of my Leaving Cert and he was a builder and I made a point of asking him questions about my construction project but we never had time. I got maybe half hour with him asking about it and I wish I had more.

    However I try not to think of this (much), instead i think of the days i went fishing with him. He was the guy that taught me the knot to tie a hook/trace/anything to your line so the more its pulled on the tighter the knot.

    Thats something i'll always remember about him and treasure. And its a story I mention to anyone i show the knot too and some day i hope i'll be able to teach it to my kids and grandkids. And i just hope they have as fond memories of me showing them as I do of my Granda showing me

    I'm sorry for your loss, we all have to go through stuff like that and you're right with hanging onto the nice memories.

    I've lost all my 5 grandparents due to cancer. With most of them we knew it was going to happen. The grandpa I mentioned in my previous post was the shock. I guess that's why it's hard even years later. Because I only started to be around again after years, I wish I had more time. We brought him to the hospital because he wasn't feeling well. They found out that he had cancer everywhere and he was gone within a week.

    He was an extraordinary man in his own right and he was great with us all. He built swings and all sorts of other things for us, he took me for walks with the dog, played board games with me and taught me not to be a sour loser, I nicknamed him after a certain type of mushroom and he always sang to me. Always. He laughed when I gave out to him for snoring. He snored so much the windows rattled and had the best laugh. I told him stories when he was rolling his cigarettes and he always listened :)

    It's hard to pick one.

    Not driving at an earlier age is a big one for me. It's amazing the difference having your own car makes.

    Giving up martials arts as a youngster. I had potential but got lazy.

    Pushing my ex girlfriend into a lake on a warm day. It seemed like a funny idea at the time until I realised she couldn't swim. Needless to say she wasn't impressed and I didn't get the leg over.

    I have made some monumental f**k ups in my life that, if I had to do again, I would have done differently but they all led me to where I am today and I wouldn't change that.

    Wasting my time in the same fee paying same secondary school from first to sixth year.

    I have many regrets in my life but for me acceptance is sometimes the hardest piece of the puzzle to fit in, Time heals so many things, and the regrets you have will fade and be replaced by new and wonderful memories.
