Hey, I've been thinking a lot about death lately (sad huh?), and I've come to the following question:

If you died today, what would regret?

The only thing that comes to my mind is things that I didn't do. Things I did't stand for. I used to be a worthless piece of ****, but I realised that maybe, just maybe, the world is not as bad as I think (honestly it was before DRRR!).

However I am still someone that is not happy with my life right now. I have a great family, great friends... But I feel empty. I dumped my ex-girlfriend recently because I got bored of her... It just seems like I am missing on life, and the time is going by...

I don't know if I am the only one that feels this way, but what would you do to change...?

I joined the Dollars because of that. Because in the end I am lonely in my life. Because in the end I feel worthless. Because in the end, I want to become a part of something. But it hasn't changed a lot...

We have respectful members, but most of them don't care about anything... Maybe it is just my opinion, or my experiences. But come on, The Dollars is TOO much of a good concept to be treated like that.

Sorry if I am ranting in here, but I had to say it to somebody that would listen. And I think you just might. =S

Animated's AMV (Live) never goes out of my head. ''Life Is Beautiful''.

In the end, I regret not living.


~Toxical.

"Because in the end I am lonely in my life. Because in the end I feel worthless. Because in the end, I want to become a part of something."
I feel the same way a lot of the time.

"We have respectful members, but most of them don't care about anything."
I have to disagree with you on that one. I think the majority here are at least caring in some way, as well as intelligent. The lack of trolls most of the time is great, too.

Now on to the topic.. I regret not standing up to my dad a lot sooner. He was abusive and I gave him the control he wanted for almost 18 years. I regret ever being friends with a girl from the "bad crowd" your parents always warn you about. She brought me down a self-destructing path, then took off with my money, friends, and self-esteem. I regret not getting a job when my depression/anxiety wasn't as bad. The lack of experience is coming back to haunt me. And finally, I regret forgetting sunscreen on my white water rafting trip a few months back. Worst 2nd degree burns ever!

Thank you Whisper! =)

''I have to disagree with you on that one.''
That might have been my experience anyways. As I said, I wanted to be a part of something. The Dollars didn't fit that at first. Maybe I just did not fully understood the concept. Or maybe I didn't want to, it is not that romantic (haha).

''And finally, I regret forgetting sunscreen on my white water rafting trip a few months back. Worst 2nd degree burns ever!''
Made my day. Thank you very much!!!

Again, thank you! =)

If you are dead, how can you regret? I suppose you meant in a more metaphysical way... Well, if I died, I would not really care honestly. I have done what I have done with my life. I am quite proud of myself, for I have never really done anything stupid, I promised myself that I would never do drugs or drink alcohol when I was five or so (and kept that promise) and I have been one of the only people I have ever known to know 'the truth' (Yes, I am arrogant). Also, nobody would really miss me. That is a comforting thought, for I would hate for my death to strike misery into the heart of a loved one (Or perhaps, loved ones) if I were to have any.

If I had to regret anything, it would be not being able to see all my friends once more.

That and not going out with a bang.

Me, regretably, I havn't yet picked up the violin seriously. I feel like I shakilly stand for things, and I really need to reinforce those feelings. I haven't wrote the story and published the book thats gonna leave a mark on the world. Haven't spent time with my fam like I shOuld.

>>4 You have loved ones. Don't tell me that you don't. Even if people may seem harsh there is always someone that cares about you. And you will leave a blank if you leave.

>>5 Then go see them! =P

>>6 You probably still have time to do the things you love. Please, Please don't follow the mistakes many have done. Follow your heart (cliche huh?), it will get you there =P.

Thanks for all the answers, I feel so much better just by talking =)

Honestly, I would feel terrible about never telling by best friend How much I love her. I just can't bring myself to do it. It really does suck.

Oh. And I regret eating those two whole cheesecakes. My stomach catching hell from it, and that's the reason I'd die.

This is reminding me of the book were reading about death in music how most people see death as a ar away thing or ignore it. If I would die right now I would have to many regrets to much unfinished business.

If I died today, I probably wouldn't care. It would kind of be a relief to have my thoughts just end suddenly. Unable to suffer, unable to do anything.

if i died today, i would regret not being able to achieve my dreams. other than that, no regrets. just make the death an epic one!

If death came I would be content, since I lived life quite well so far. It just means that my time here would be up.

I honestly don't have any qualms about dying even if it were to happen now. Maybe just enough time for me to delete my internet history or something :P The only thing I ask is that it's a quick death, no starving or dying from dehydration. if that happens I'll fucking haunt someone. But yeah, in all seriousness my beliefs lead me to just not give any shits cause when I die there be a whole lot of nothingness.

I can't think of a single regret, wierd.

I would regret a lot of little things. Regrets are an important part of life, in my opinion. If you have nothing to regret, then you learned nothing.

When you regret something, it's a moment where you remember that you've done something wrong. You realize that you're not perfect and still have a great deal of room for improvement. If you push away bad situations and say that you want to die without any regrets, you're really saying that you don't want to become anything better than what you are now. You're saying that you don't want to improve for the future or avoid what's happened in the past. You're saying that you want to die thinking you've done everything right in your life when, in all honesty, that's beyond impossible.

If I were to die today, I wouldn't be content. I would be frustrated with everything I haven't finished and would cling onto life until the last second with a stupid amount of hope. Yet, I would be aware enough that, if I had a chance to say goodbye to my loved ones, I'd say it just in case.

I'm not going to share the regrets themselves, but can comfortably say that anyone here who says they'll die with them has the potential to become so much greater than what they are now, in their own eyes.

I'd regret all the days I spent doing nothing...

...If I died today...I would't really regret anything...No body notices me...No body talks to me...And sometimes...I wonder what it would be like if I really WAS dead...But when I think about it...What is dying like? Is it painful? Sad? Upseting? Or...Blank?

>>17
Ummm... I don't think those are good thoughts...
Nobody is totally alone. Trust me.
^-^
I'm not saying you should get help or whatever, which would be a tad helpful, I'm just saying maybe try making friends. Start conversations with people, let them get to know you. Try and be a little outgoing.
If you don't try, it will never happen.

>>17 I don`t belive it is blank. But my beliefs don't matter atm.

If you live like that, you must want to change, right? That wouldn`t be a regret?

As for >>15 Amazing answer!! =) Really pumped me up

ah! I just found something to not die for! ... I was thinking how soon it would be if I died today cause :
1) I haven't smoked all the types of w**d I wanna smoke.
2) Ayahuasca
3) I still wanna f*ck my friend and play the bass (somehow that's connected)
4) (on a more serious note..) I have to see how far I can go. Misery or happiness, I don't care. I have to see this life through because if I don't it will just be a waste.. you know.. the people I've become close to, those who know my secrets, those who understand to a slight degree how my inner workings propel me to function everyday... Those people cannot see me go, they can't watch me die. I know how much they care and how much they've given for me so I can open my eyes again so fucking trucks can try to run me a million times over, but screw that. I'm not dying first.
5) because music.

If I died today (and was somehow still conscious of it) I would be really pissed off about it. If I were to make light of the situation, I might focus on the fact I no longer have to deal with my almost constantly boring and so far incredibly disappointing life.

But, on the other hand, I'd regret the fact that I just allowed my life to pass me by without experiencing... well anything interesting. Come to think of it, one of the reasons I haven't just killed myself already is that I'm sure that when I'm finally free of this dreary pit of boredom that I currently call home, I'll be free to finally experience the life of social freedom that I've so enviously observed of others. In other words, my main raison d'etre (reason to live) at this point is just knowing that someday I will be free to choose my own path in life, to spit in the faces of all those bastards who were sure that I'd amount to nothing.

So in a sense, I don't really consider my life to have begun yet, rather, I'm waiting for my time to come. And when it does, I sure as hell won't waste it. I'll fucking show them all who I really am.

"I'd regret the fact that I just allowed my life to pass me by without experiencing... well anything interesting"
YES! I feel the same way sometimes...

What is stopping you from living right now?

I don't know, I feel the same way, and I can't answer that question =/
