My regret: being too anxious and not assertive enough, I regret not coming out sooner. Wasted years worrying about it, worrying about pretty much everything. All the time,being too afraid to live.

I used to think my family can't survive without me, so I wasted enough time trying to be almost everything possible for them, but I was totally wrong.

What's yours
Exactly same to me wasted my 20s and early 30s building family business.... At the end turns its our work and its my money... Anytime I remember those hardwork dedication commitment I wished it was my business then... But we move

I regret snubbing a very attractive 42 year old American lady because of 10 years difference in age.

I wanted to leave the country back then.

Got admissions everywhere England, Usa, and Poland I felt finally I have arrived but unfortunately I got dupped.

Lost every penny in a flash, I couldn't even afford to feed myself.

That day I died inside and till today I will never recover from the shock.

The only reason I'm still is because I'm a coward that can't bear a little pain to end it all.

I wish I could go to bed and never wake up.

Though i believe the situation can still be remedied. But time is not my friend atm

Bro remember the decision to either be sad or happy lies in you.
You just have to keep pushing.
There are millions of people that you are better than.
Don't write yourself off.
If I tell you my story,
You won't believe it.
I am going to 40, still living with my parents, no job, no child but I keep believing that one day it will be fine.

I do understand how you feel but if you get to hear someone's else story out there, you will thank God for yours.

Personally, if am to calculate how much I lost within last year and this year, it will be close to 20m+ (failed agritech investments, amz withholding my money, hacking of my crypto wallet and all funds been wiped out by someone I don't know and some others that I can't mention) but despite all of this, I didn't allow them to move me or make me fall into depression. I am of the believe that as long as I still breathe, I can recoup all my losses (taking a cue from Job in the Bible). So when life knocks you down, you have got nothing else to do that to stand up, take lessons from your mistakes/bad experiences and move forward now being more careful. As long as you do still live, you still have the ability to do and achieve great things than you have in the past. Know that God still have a reason for keeping you alive till now, and never consider suicide as a option.

I have this saying that keeps me going on in life despite many setbacks which I will want you to ingrain into your heart as well and make use of it - " You're not a failure when you fall down but a failure when you refuse to get back up and try again"

My regret is not having the courage and stubbornness to make my own decisions and take my life into my own hands.

You have to study medicine...okay! (Even though Economics was the love of my life then)

You have to go to OAU or UI..okay! (Even though OAU no give me any course for five straight years)

You cannot go to poly or do NCE,it's for never do wells....okay! (My mates who took that route have longed obtained their HND and some even travelled abroad for their Masters)

I hardly think about it now cos the pain is suffocating and sometimes lead me to thoughts of suicide.

Ironically though, I am now being asked why I didn't take the steps I had in mind then lol.

Not having the right opportunity at success early enough, not being connected to people that are genuinely interested in my progress and provide the opportunity and connection to achieve my desired growth.

"Whosever says progress isn't a slow process isn't talking about me"... I'll get that growth for sure, it's just painfully slow and very challenging, but as God live and as I live I will attain success and progress.
