The Things I Regret Most For A Short Story

“I will not regret a thing.” was what my six word memoir was about. To me it means that whatever happens you should never regret your actions and what you’ve done in life. I chose a girl looking at the sunset for my picture to show that she has no stress and has no worries because she is not looking at the past. She looks so peaceful while she is trying to look forward and take life one step at a time. When you regret things you are just stuck in the past so when you don’t have any regrets you would be a more relieved person.

When I think about the past there are a lot of things that I wish I had done. Whether it be, standing up for myself, defending myself, gone zip lining, taken back some of the things I said or tried harder. It is important to not think about regrets too much because in fifty years any of the mistakes you've made aren't going to matter. Even if you think that it is the biggest mistake ever, nobody will remember it in fifty years. It is still important to make mistakes and have regrets because in the long run you’ll have nothing to look back and laugh about, or give valuable lessons to other people

Was there a time that Regret came up because someone either did or said something? Regret leads to life changing decisions. Many people make mistakes, however there will always be regret and wish they could do something about. In “ The scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, the Narrator feels regret, which leads to how he thinks and treats people.

Have you experienced regret before? If so, when and why? Well, the majority of people regret from their poor decisions that they have made in the past. Specifically, this idea is shown in the poem "make em laugh" by David Silverberg, where he uses multiple metaphors and similes to prove that poor decisions often lead people to regret later in their lives.

I have many times I sometimes wish I could change but then I realize that if I didn't do what I did or if others didn't do what they did, I wouldn't be who I am today. The only thing I want to change about myself now is become more successful and you do that by moving forward, not looking

Mistakes and regrets will always happen. Step by step I changed my outlook on life. Is this reminding you of anything? The Indigenous culture. There was a dark past and there needs to be a change.

I chose to read the article by Ellen Hendriksen titled Why We Do Stupid Things. In this article, Hendriksen talks about the three reasons why we still make regretful choices, despite how apparent it is that the choice is very wrong.

As I look back on my life, I wouldn’t change what happened. Because I was expelled out of school, I had to attend an alternative program which caused me to rethink my life choices. My friends changed along with my relationship with my parents. Since graduation I have been in a serious relationship and gave birth to my son, Austin. I also experienced a serious health problem called graves’ disease that required a thyroidectomy. All these events are making me a stronger person to take back my

According to Forbes, many people stated that their biggest regret in life is “working too much at the expense of their family and friends.” Some people make decisions that they later regret in life. Sometimes decisions are made without realizing how these choices can affect a person’s future. A person’s decisions and actions can considerably impact and change their life.

My dog Arthur has been with me And my family since before I was born. At first he was just a puppy that my brother had gotten as a present for Christmas when he was 4, at the start of the new millennium. But soon enough he became a family dog when I was born a year later, he wasn’t just my brother’s dog anymore, we all took care of him. My parents rather had to because my brother was only 5. We didn’t really spend much time with him which we all now regret. He still really loved us! Sometimes I would go play with him in the

When looking back in life, my parents have always told me to enjoy life while I was young, and I see why because when you grow older that is when responsibility kicks in everything that my parents have said they were so correct. I have lived my life to the fullest and with no regrets I have played sports throughout high school I ran track, basketball, and I played girls football I was very athletic. I started partying at a young age, and my parents were afraid for me I have been in two club shootings from the ages of sixteen to nineteen, and I kid you not it was no fun, but I do not regret it I look at it as a lesson learn. I can say that I have lived my life now that I am older the things that I have once done does not excite me anymore. I rather stay home and enjoy my child before I go to the nearest club I look at it is I can be gone from here in a blink of an eye. My parents always have told me that, a bullet has no

A really good song called “A Teardrop in the Ocean” by Ron Pope reminds me of this everytime I listen to it. Ron mentions “I don’t want to waste the weekend,” (Pope 2009). What I take from this is that he doesn’t want to live a boring life full of regrets. He wants to live his life to best of his ability. Another quote I like from his song is “never counting regrets,”(Pope 2009). Regrets are things that happened in the past. We should let them go and enjoy the future. This reminds me of a time over the summer. My grandparents wanted me to go to the beach with them. I wanted to go but not without my friend ashley, so I told them no. I ended up not going and I regret it now. It would have been really fun just to sit on the beach and relax. From now on I am going to live my life to the fullest no matter what. My life doesn’t have room for regrets. With this I am sure I will be able to have a positive

"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person." - Rita Moreno

Everyone has had to deal with some sort of regret in their life. It has to happen to everyone. No one can say that they have never had a time where they regretted something.
