What mistake made in your youth do you most regret now?
I can't believe I've completely forgotten about this blog. I created this in 2007 and only posted thrice. But I'm back, and hopefully this time around it's for good. =DFor my first comeback post, I shall answer the question: What mistake made in your youth do you most regret now?
I think the one thing I regret the most during my childhood is my neglect for activities outside of school. My parents wanted my sister and I to enroll in other classes, things like martial arts or swimming, piano lessons or even voice lessons...those kinds of things. I wasn't particularly social; I was shy and hated to be around strangers. The simple task of introducing oneself and making new friends has always been horrendously hard for me. I wanted the usual surroundings, the usual people.
...so I passed up all those chances. Whenever they would bring the topic up, I would quickly say no and that was the end of it. Thinking back, I wish I had taken even just one class. Be it a karate class or piano lessons, I would've had accomplished something beyond schoolbooks and report cards, and the world that I know would've been a whole lot bigger than what I know right now.
