Regrets.

[so serious]

Yo, I know I cannot possibly be the only person here with mad regrets. Shit not even crimes etc, but just regrets period. How do you deal with your regrets, do you try to change it if its not too late?

I'd probably have to say my #1 regret was smoking weed so young and not tryign my best in school. On the real, that shit kinda shaped my life into what it is now (not saying its bad). But once I smoked that first blunt with that "in crowd", shit just started happening. Banging, dropping out of school, selling drugs, getting arrested, a lot of bullshit. An it seems like shit happens when you're down and feeling hard, than its just harder to get back up.

An I know that Jay Z song always pays in my head when I think of this type of crap. "This is the number one rule for ya set, in order to survive gotta learn to live with regrets.." And also "IN high school you was the man homie, the fuck happened to you??" But its just hard. It's like once you out grow that thug, street phase in your life (if you go through it), you look back on the your past like.. Why??

Excuse the rant..

[Ntalek]

yeah I feel you..on that smoking shit..shit fucks your life up...I think you explained the cause and effect of it well..becuase it lead me into some of the same shit..and now I can't hardly do half the shit I want/need to do in order to continue advancing in life..because of records/felonys/fucked up credit..and a economy that's bout to hit great depression all over again...so yeah..that IN Crowd trying to be with the cool kids shit fucked my life and I'd have to say that's one of my biggest regrets..Another would be leaving California..that was a big mistake to come back to this Chicago shit hole..when I had every opportunity to stay away..but like a nigga I had to come back and get into more shit..it's like the "good life" wasn't enough...and I felt i was missing out on the so called "thug life" but I feel you dude..I feel you..

[doesnotexist]

can't change shit, just deal with it and move on nah mean


i dont really look back on shit and go why...cuz even if it was dumb all that shit together and all those experiences brought you to this point and made you who you are now.

[Chris Black]

I don't have any regrets. I needed my mistakes to make me who I am.

[Ntalek]

lmfao and word to Vanja and Chris....but I always think about how much better I could be doing if I haden't made those mistakes..not saying I'm doing bad..because I'm doing fairly well..but it's still a few things that my past mistakes have held me from accomplishing..

[Chris Black]

Lol. That reminds me of a time I was about 11 and the 14-year-old girl was making me do flips off of fences and things at the park. She flipped to but I was better. At first it was fun. Then it just turned into her dragging me around, getting me to do flips off of everything. It went on for hours, then she told me if I spent the night over her cousin's house(my neighbor), she'd give me some pussy. I was actually scarred and felt used. After that, I ran to the lake and reflected and decided I would do no more flips, nor would I go to my neighbor's house that week. The girl was a good looker too, with a great body. I felt retarded, two years later. Lol.

[Zed Peace]

lol at keeb.

anyways, i haven't done much to have regret. i'd say life is all good for me and i gotta thank my family for that. i do regret for my country tho, we could've been big on the world scene, prolly end up like a singapore or a malaysia before. but oh well, its nice to come from a place that no one's ever heard of.

I see everything as a learning experience.
Your life will never be perfect. You'll never
reach a point where you say, Wow,
I'm here! everything is perfect!
Just enjoy the path you lead.

[Ntalek]

word if it wasn't for the bad you'd never know the good.

[Born To Kill]

I think Frank Sinatra said it best...

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life thats full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

I don't have any regrets. I needed my mistakes to make me who I am.

^^^Grown ass man talk. Word 2 it. Regrets, my ass, every action makes you who you are, be proud of that. If you aren't proud of your actions, then, recognize that you realize that and consider it a character flaw that you now have past experience with and have sought to correct. And, the more flawed your past, many times, if you get through it to be good, the more help you can be to troubled people.

(God has a plan?)
