I've had those same regrets. Though, of course, not in the same ways. ANd I always wonder which I regret more--what I've done or what I haven't. MY friend/sister Lucy suggested that the regrets for deeds done are things you can never take back... while regrets for things undone...
But even those can't be taken back or recreated. We are the sum of our longings. and the totality of our regrets.

I sympathize.
