I have that inner monologue too, and it makes me feel unattractive -- unlike yours, it's simply a whiny little voice that tells me I'm not good enough, but it has done damage that shouldn't have been done.
I regret that I wasn't strong enough to keep my son's family together. I'm best friends with his mom now, but back then when I was even less wise than I am now, I wasn't able to do anything but watch our love and friendship evaporate -- thankfully, temporary, to be resurrected in a different form.
I regret dropping out of college. I'm paying for it now.
I'm sure other things will come to mind, but I'm not in the mood to wallow. It's a good evening and I'm still breathing, I'll take it.
