One regret thus far in your life...

So a couple months ago a couple a couple friends and I were lifting weights and talking (We were HS Seniors at that time). Some topic came up and as we talking I think my words were something along the lines of "Screw Religion".

I dunno, it keeps coming back to haunt me. After I said it I didn't immediately feel what I had just said, but as I got in the car to leave, I sat there for a second and it just sort of sunk in. I really couldn't believe what I had said in there. I never say things like that, but it just came out; even my friends who are by no means very religious, were taken aback that I would say such a thing.

I'm still not at the point where I feel I have completely gotten over this incident. But I do know, as I think about this every time I go to church, and Bible-Study that it is, thus far, the single greatest regret I have in my life.

Comment or not, it doesn't make a huge difference to me but has anyone else done something like this in their lives...it is pretty much the worst feeling I have ever felt.

I dunno, I just had to put that out there; maybe at least acknowledging that I said it and that I have prayed for forgiveness (I'm Lutheran) will help me get over it.

One regret?

Probably losing my virginity at 14 then moving to the US the next day. Not so much the losing my virginity part as much as the her telling me she had an abortion a while later. That hit hard. Of course she tells me she was lying 3 and a half years later.

It's all good! Like I said, I just had to put it out there, and I knew you were just messing around.

I do feel a little better after posting this though. I never ever talk about feelings and stuff. I guess that part of me could be described as Chandler from "Friends". Most of the time I just cover if a joke or something stupid.

At any rate I do feel better 🙂

The one regret?

Basically, I've lived my life without regrets. But I will have to say the biggest whoops! or do over I would like to have is with a girl, Eliza. As I recognize her now, this poor girl was fun, wholesome, and genuine. And me being a selfish, egotistical bastard used her trust, her belief in me to just use her and toss her away.

 
Everything I've ever done... Everything I thought was a tragedy at the time... It's all led me to where I am. And I like where I'm at.

So it's hard to feel regret for anything I've done or any bad choices I've made along the way.
 
Not taking the time to visit or even send a letter to my grandmother for a long while. She died after quite a while of myself and my brothers more or less ignoring her. 🙁
 
I actually regret a few things, but just right now. I regret not pushing myself to full potential in high school, and letting that carry over to my first year of college. I regret this because I couldn't go straight into a university and I kick myself even harder because screwing around my first year of college has prolonged this even farther.

I plan to do something about it though, and taking action this term, picking up my grades and just getting my life together as a whole.

Your friends have forgotten it already. You were probably just angry or felt really comfortable around your friends so you said whatever was on your mind at the time. It just slipped. You obviously know you didn't mean it, so get over it. It will do you a lot of good. Live in the present tense. Download Present Tense by Pearl Jam. The chours lyric is:
"You can't spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets. Makes much more sense to live in the present tense."

That is hard advice to follow as I find myself always looking into the past. Even what happened this day instead of being excited for the next day. My biggest regreat is not making the most out of the moment in high school. I had so many oppurtunities that just passed by. I did fine academically. I graduated with honors blah blah blah. But I never really developed close relationships with either my male or female acquaintances. Carpe Diem. I will try to too.
 
I regret taking the advice of a friend who suggested I start watching those stupid asian soap operas. Now I can't stop watching them! I hate him. :|

Stairway to Heaven is a good korean drama, you should watch that also 🙂.
Good korean drama...
 
Things are said in the heat of the moment. Especially when working out and hormones and adrenaline are pumping... I wouldn't worry about it too much.
