If there are 2 things we regret doing or not doing...

Okay, I'll go first. For me, since I love travelling globally, that would be learning at least 3-4 languages. While I do understand a few basic for the sake of getting by depending on which country I'm visiting. It would have been nice.

What I regret, still have to do with travelling (hehehe), I had a golden opportunity at age 24 to work abroad as I was in the advertising world at the time. I turned down the opportunity thinking it was the worst request to ask...hahaha. At that time a few co-workers around my age jumped at it and I know a couple of them are living in Europe AND they have learned to speak other languages...As to why I would always seek to keep travelling.
Other than that, I believe we cannot keep thinking about regrets unless we seek to do something about it in a positive way. We ought to be kind to ourselves as well. What about you...

I thought a nice hobby would be learning Sign Language. I think I'll look into that some day.

I lived in Rochester, NY for many years. Home of National Technical School for the Deaf. I could never understand why ASL was not a language option in schools.

Sandi passed from a drug overdose. My mother was very worried I would do just that but it did not happen. I never knew she had a drug issue at all.

Should have paid more attention to the daughters hurting.
Wish I hadn't kept teeth as a trophy.

Sometimes we get so wrapped into our own lives that we forget that there are hurting people around us. Hope you are able to move on and I hope you are not blaming yourself for the unknown. The good thing is that you "did not know". If you had known, you know within yourself you would have tried to help. Stay up and be well.

I regret smoking and drinking. I don't regret quitting both.

Yes, I understand. As good-natured human beings we always wish we either knew more about a situation in an effort to help or we wish we had paid more attention so we can help. But don't feel too bad and be hard on yourself. Good natured people go through the same...Be well.

Hmmm, not sure I understand fully. But hey...once you are at a better place. Whatever works for you.

I couldn't possibly be honest in the thread. I appreciate the topic though.
