Well honey, some of us are fogies, as much as we hate to have to admit it. Doesnt mean we have to
think like one however. As to having regrets that we are wishing we had not made. Yes we do. Some more
than others, however: i doubt that anyone can live a great deal of time, and do a lot of things. So they
would not have quite a few things that they wish they had done differently. That is one of the tenants of
Brokeback Mountain. Learning to live with your past bad choices...They are inevitable I believe. We just
try to learn and then not repeat them if we have learned anything by them. In otherwords, like Ennis
learned the fact that you let the time go by and dont do some things that you should, you may not get the
chance again to do it differently.
I dont regret them like he does, but yes I do have some regrets. I am sure you do too. Even if your
life is so much shorter than mine. We are human after all. Thus we do make errors......So good to have
you here. Talk to you again soon i hope.

Regret, Oh god, I hate that word. If i was to say i had none it would be a lie. But i wish i had none. Some regrets can eat you up from the inside out. They crawl in from a darkness we try to leave behind. They force them selves to change the descions we make.
I had this conversation with a old guy at work. He was telling me about all these regrets he has. Divorce, marriage and children. That stuff. I started to tell him some of mine. He cut me off and said "Your to young to have regrets" This really annoyed me. >:(
I'm 19, I've lived a quater of my life. Thats 25% Thats 6 935 days..........
I have regrets. I've lived a good part of my life. I've earned the right to be respected by those who are considered to be more primed.

I read a great little speech about that....can only remember the gist of it.
that your teenage years are spent in so much turmoil....dealing with grown up feelings and changes without any of the tools adults have to deal with them...they say 'these are the best years of your life' but they really aren't.
I hope you can understand that....yes, you are MORE than old enough to have regrets...

They are in so many ways, But they air'nt in so many more. If that makes sense. :-\
Everyones different, so some people's teenage years are hell, so are great, some are a blur, some are to clear for their liking, so end adruply, some end tragicly.
A lot of it comes down to the kind of kid you grow up as. The way your parents grew you up as. Blame the parents :-\ In many ways yeah, ;D
Than you hit this age where you know that it up to you live with the concequences of your choices ;)

Reminds me of the time a person who worked for me complained that they didn't write music like they used to - how back in his day they wrote better songs, etc., etc. I asked him just how old he was?
"Twenty-two."
I told him I just had to check, because I thought for a minute I was listening to my father. I have a theory that many people are born young and stay young. Many people are born old and stay old.
