Not having our last dog put to sleep the second he started to develop spinal problems. We were talked into a course of treatment that caused him a lot of stress and pain and that will haunt me forever.

Being too lazy to go to my usual gym class, so I changed it to 2 days later. That night I was t-boned by a speeding driver and was in a horrific crash that nearly killed me - my partner and parents were told to prepare for the fact that I was probably dead. It's changed my life. I'm not sure I'll ever forgive myself for changing the class.

Letting a bad person back into my life. My gut was screaming at me that day she got in contact. I so wish I did not ignore it :-(

@Atnaforange

When I was 21 my best friend asked me to go out for a few drinks with her as we hadn't met up in a few weeks. I said no because I had a date. My friend was killed in a car accident the following day. I regret so much that I didn't meet her that day, she was wonderful.
I'm so so sorry x

Not studying abroad, and on a related note, every single time I've taken my mother's awful advice. I soon figured out that things go better if I do the opposite of anything she says Grin.
