i really regret being an asshole to my parents when i was a teen. making them stay up all night wondering if i'd come home, if they'd get 'the call' from the police. for making my mom cry and throwing a comb at her head. for tacking my dad into a closet and breaking the house phone numerous times. for not sitting with them at dinner and instead wasting my time with people who are now the reason i avoid facebook like the plague.

One of my exes
Every encounter I've ever had with my crush (I'm a bit of a spaz)
Every drunk text
The beers and fries I had at lunch

Am I crazy? Or am I rationalizing potential regrets?

About 5 years ago, a very good friend of mine asked me 'What have you done that you would never do again?' and I realised every fucking stupid thing I've done, I've done at least twice. I then asked him what he would never repeat and he chickened out of telling me.
Basically, I believe until you learn, you will do it again and again.
For those who suggest you're 'rationalising', those people obviously don't believe it's possible to change your behaviour to make better judgements in the future or that you should live your life as though you're not in control of it. To which I say bullshit.

Oh.... ok, then.

I am 4 weeks without one now, and though sometimes it's not horrible, I must think about how much I want one at least 100 times a day.
Worst thing I ever did was start.

I've tried to quit a few times, and my friend calls this 'the finale' and I feel like it is.
I bought myself a new Michael Kors leather with the 200+ I've saved (ok, fine I spend more than I've saved, but thats another reason to stay quit).
It sucks, but I am doing it.

That said? I wish I hadn't told several epic lies in a bid for attention, and I wish that I hadn't opened the window right after I moved my kitty to a new apartment.

And I agree. It's like they say in Rent: Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.

Other than that, I largely agree with Hortense. My experiences, good and bad, have made me who I am today. I could regret being a selfish wench to my first boyfriend, but it made me realize how not to treat men. My ex learned how to not be a pushover. We all win!
