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??
