30 Days of Truth: I wish I hadn't...

22. Something you wish you hadn't done in your life.

There are a great many things I regret, although most of those are things I wish I'd done.  So which one of the things I regret doing do I regret the most??  I have no idea.

I try to not regret my choices, because I don't really believe you can live happily if you wish you could take back everything you've done.  That said, I also know you can't not regret anything, as there are always some things you just know were stupid.

So I'm gonna go with fucking up school.  I won't even be specific about when, because, let's be honest, I've fucked up school pretty bad every time it counted: high school, all attempts at post-secondary....

I also wish I hadn't taken journalism, that I'd taken something more secure in college: paralegal, law clerk, some sort of tech.  Even cabinetmakers have it easier.  Journalism is super hard to break into.   Or maybe I just suck as a writer??   It's also changed since the heyday of investigative journalism, which, to be honest, was the reason I got into journalism in the first place. 


So there you have it.  Maybe I'll write a normal update soon to go with this one.  That'd be great, don't you think??
