Modern Tempting

I'm striving to provide comfort to those higher thinking individuals in this world with the knowledge that they're not alone. You're not alone out there! Some of us have common sense and the desire to elevate our minds above the senseless masses.

If I could turn back the hands of time

Regret.
One word that is reflective of soooooo much in a person's life.
I can recall a line in the movie Center Stage (yes, I loved that movie - I actually own it and I'm not ashamed) where the bulimic girls mother tells her "I know what regret feels like and I don't want that for you, I know what it's like to look back and wish". I had no idea viewing that movie for the first time or the 30 subsequent times I viewed it after that I'd be able to relate to that line in any way before I was at least 40. As I sit at my desk at a job that I hate I've started listing me regrets. Here are a few:

5.) I regret going to an all girl's high school
I've mentioned this before so I won't elaborate but I and
wannabestarlet still have a tremendous amount of bitterness over our high school years

4.) I regret not having more fun in college
Why oh why wasn't I kicking it, hoe-ing out and just living life to it's fullest when I was college. Had I known then it would be my last chance to enjoy life essentially free of any real responsibility I definitely would have.

3.) I regret not being involved in any sort of organized sports team when I was younger
At least I would have been in shape at some point in my damn life.
I refuse to even start that rant.

2.) I regret every single day I've spent working at a job that I don't like
I hate my company and I've wasted soooooo much time here working my ass off for basically nothing, working for people who don't give a shit about me, and just wasting my talent and hard work in a place that does not respect or reward any of it's employees. This place is a fucking nightmare.

1.) I regret not having the courage to go to art school
This is my number one regret because everyday that I'm working anywhere I know I'll wish I had the guts to follow my heart and not my head which tells me it's not safe to bet on a maybe. I look at art students with barely concealed envy because I wish I had at least tried.

    First things first- I own Center Stage and will admit it freely- it's super corny and I love it.

    Regrets are hard...I try not to have them, but I share some of the same ones as you. For example, I wish that I had joined a sorority in college. And I definitely wish that I participated in sports as a child- I'm paying the price now!
