I think we all have things like that we wish we could take back. Most of the time I don't think of mine, but every now and then when I am alone with my thoughts I replay interactions or conversations. It's an endless road of "what-ifs" and it can really be a hot mess if you let it. My brother in law told me a long time ago to "run from regrets" and I think that fits really well in the times when I get in my head too much.

I have a relatively regret-free life fortunately. I don't have a "one that got away" or any horrible decision I made that ended up seriously hurting someone. I suppose in that regard the regrets I have are pretty minor. I once met a guy that had paralyzed his friend while drunk driving. That guy went to jail for a bit and has been completely sober ever since, but he has to live with that for the rest of his life.
I can't say the same thing, but luckily none of my screw ups are that significant. I know I have hurt people and I regret that. It's just the way things worked out though. I wouldn't necessarily take it back, I just might do it differently.
