A very lovely person in my life shared the following link to a blog post titled "Regrets of the Dying".
I think it is noteworthy that some regrets are not only for the dying.
I wonder if the living have more regrets, particularly at the various crossroads in a lifetime. Since the beginnings of my quarter-life crisis (perhaps I am over-dramatizing this period of transition), I have certainly regretted letting go of certain friendships, not making the right decisions that would have made me happy, etc.
Biggest regrets right now:
1. Not doing the things that make me happy
2. Not letting those that I love just how much they mean to me often enough
3. Not taking my time in college
4. Not being more considerate of others
5. Not taking enough risks
All "nots", but hopefully I can change more of that. I wonder what everyone else regrets in the moment, not just at the verge of death.

At this moment, I regret playing Tetris and Web surfing instead of going to sleep. Though I am glad to read this post; it led me to one of those "self-reflection" moment.
