I did it every day of my life, until I understood that such a manner of thought doesn't help me at all.
We can't change the past and we can't make our life perfect, all we can do is try to make the future a little better.

Sometimes,yes,and even at times of not regretting the feelings overwhelm me.
This right here basically, i regret alot, and im sure ill regret more later. but i wont dwell on it because dwelling on it doesnt help any
this on the other hand i disagree on. you life being perfect is your opinion, so if in your opinion your life is perfect if you believe it is

I try not to look back...I do it all the time though bc it's so hard to just keep looking ahead.
i find on the days where I focus on what i've done wrong over the years I get super depressed and I lash out at the people around me.

Every single day. Especially when i go home and see where im living at in life compared to where most my friends are.
I just keep my head down, keep working, and trying to move forward. whats done is done. I just try to learn from it.

yes, heroin. or any opiate addiction. completely ruins your life in every sense of the word. finances, relationships, health, etc. and you can never, ever be happy again because you'll never forget the pure bliss of the feeling these drugs give you. any natural happiness will pale in comparison.. don't try these drugs, you'll be forever changed in the many ways. being completely unable to experience any kind of non-chemical happiness ever again. and a constant longing for the drug whether your clean and sober, or youve just shot a $20, you can never have enough. the only happiness you'll ever know is being high enough to sleep while having enough left-over to not be sick in the morning. sad.

Yes, I regret quite a bit of my life.
I try not to look back, but find it hard sometimes.
For years, I've tried to have the attitude of, what has happened in the past, be it 5 minutes or 5 years, it is in the past, and I should do what I can with this moment to improve my future.
I especially tend to regret things in my past that are affecting my current situation (like debt, not finishing school, etc).
I know that I can get out of debt and finish school, but I wonder if, even when I do this, I will be satisfied, or if I will regret not dealing with these issues earlier.
