I went from acne to rosacea. Both are annoying. sigh. I'd say the rosacea is worse because it can cause acne as well.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Yeah, I've got that, too, Burrell. I suspect I should cut back on the red wine, but I don't wannaaaaa.

Most of my regrets are about playing it safe. Which should be a lesson to my present self.
Me too, Sue.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I did the stupid things. My fuck-ups were epic. There'd be poems and songs, but I'm trying to keep it quiet. Some things I regret. Some... I dunno. If I'd known at the time what my choices would lead to, I wouldn't have done those things. But if I hadn't, I wouldn't be here now. I might be someplace better, but who knows. I do wish that, if I was going to waste my twenties (in the sense of not getting started on a career or grad school or something sensible) I wish I'd wasted it traveling and doing useless artsy stuff, instead of wasting it on someone who never loved me.

House-ma Nora!
If only I could go back in time and jump a certain guy's bones. So what if he had a girlfriend!
ETA to protect me from him Googling himself.

The FACE LASERS have been about trying to take a hit out on my rosacea. Doesn't seem to be working.
And definitely, it's the things I didn't do (including things I didn't even think of or seriously consider, like "why didn't I up and roam around the world after college instead of trying to get a job" or whatever) that I regret. Even if there are some very awkward "I'll regret it if I don't at least try" moments that occasionally float to the surface of my memory and make me cringe horribly.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Regrets. I have a few. And not too few to mention, either. Still, I'm enjoying a lot about my current life: a decent job, the ability to schedule and pay for summer vacation somewhere near Lake Michigan, my cat, my garden, etc. Would I like someone to pay me to wander around Europe and drink wine in charming cafes? Sure. But until that happens, my current situation's pretty good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I did a LOT of stupid stuff in my youth but I don't have a lot of regrets. And my attempts to be practical and responsible have rarely worked out well for me, so maybe I should just go with my strengths...

Our wings are not tired.
House~ma! Closing that chapter would be good.
There are plenty of things I would do differently given age and wisdom, but I am not convinced I would be in a better place. We are in the end the sum of our choices and experiences and there is no going back. I'm trying to make better choices going forward. And I am suddenly reminded of dude in 'Prelude to a Kiss' saying if he had it to do over he would floss regularly.
