Writer's Block: Youthful Transgressions

[51stcenturyfox]

[Error: unknown template qotd] I. Regret. Nothing.

We learn from our experiences - especially those stemming from mistakes - if we're paying attention. 

You know what's even worse? Regretting things you didn't do. I grew up hearing: "I should have done X." and "I really wish I'd done Y."  Although... that probably prompted me to accomplish certain things so I wouldn't have similar regrets later.

Guess what? There is no rewind and I think dwelling on the past is a waste of a perfectly good present.

Dwelling on the negative is a waste of time too, but that's a post of its own. I feel it coming on, too.

Yes, I sort of...blew my best educational opportunities too. But I think the results were interesting, though - I wouldn't have done the things I *did* do if I'd been traditional there. A lot of my school friends ticked every box properly and yet aren't happy, or have careers they don't enjoy.

So... it's sort of YMMV!

Hooray for awesome!
