Regrets

I want to read about other people's regrets. Not trivial ones (I ate too much and then felt bad... I should have eaten less...) and not life-altering ones either – for example, even though I might not like the fact that I was born in this part of the world or that I have poor health, I can't regret these things because they were dictated by fate, not by my will (or lack thereof).

I have no major regrets, only minor ones.

I regret not buying a Yorkshire Terrier at the market two years ago. I would have brought it home and said to my family, "Well, now it lives here. What do you mean, you don't want a dog? Too late!"

I regret listening to Lok in that game...
but seriously, there weren't any particularly interesting choices. Like, it wouldn't have been good to go to the graduation party and spend money on it, or to not do or say something, or conversely, to do and say something.

Oh, I remember now. I listened to Arandor when he promised it would be fun in the expansion!
Actually, it was fun, and I'm happy with everything, but it was a time when we got stuck on a puzzle with chairs and statues for a week.

I regret that old age came so soon after childhood. Not in terms of physical health, but mentally.

Did this happen by your will?

The combination of factors, plus my will, yes.

The past doesn't exist, the future is unknown, there's nothing to regret.
The only thing I "sort of" regret is that at 18, I rejected a girl because of her PIMPLES, even though overall, her appearance satisfied some of my main preferences, and her personality was very good. But sorry, for me, that's too much.

Oh well. Acne is temporary.

You endure for a few years and then you're happy. Well, not...

Well, if we're talking about major things, I chose a major I didn't like just to prove something to someone, I ruined the life of one girl, and I haven't gotten any pets in recent years, even though I always wanted to. On the positive side, I've been sober for almost six months. I don't regret much else; most of it was beyond my control, and the rest contributed to my life experience and wisdom.

I missed out on Tenshu, and I had a falling out with a dozen very good people who used to be close to me. Imaris is just one example.

It’s still quite difficult to live in a dead body and in a dead land.

Von Nebas, with his dead heart (as he claims), is living – and that’s fine.
