What did you stop doing that you now regret?

8 comments

1. I used to love playing piano and guitar. I even attended music school and was passionate about music. But after I finished, I gradually stopped playing, and now I regret it. I miss the joy and satisfaction of playing and wish I had kept it up.

2. Trying to make friends. At some point in my early school life the abuse by my peers got so bad, that I just shut myself off, thinking I’d be better off by myself. Turns out I was dead wrong and today, making friends is hard and feel pretty lonely.

3. I dropped out of college and I regret it

4. Dress up, look/act like a woman. School drained me.

5. Exercising. I just “don’t have time” for it anymore. I used to be in the gym for 3+ hours a day, constantly going out and trying new things (I found out I love indoor rock climbing!), and was part of a competitive ballroom/Latin dance team (but I wasn’t any good).

   I miss it so, so, *so* much.

6. Being the creative person I once was.

   I haven’t completely stopped but it has drastically reduced due to dental school and work.

   I was so passionate about it. Whether it was drawing, painting, sketching, crafts, stitching I can do it all, but I don’t anymore.

7. Playing squash. I loved it. A great way to whack away all the frustrations in my life. I’m now too old to start again.

8. Drawing and working out
