What are you wistful you will never do, be or see?

[CoddlingMolly]

It's hard to explain what I mean but I'll try!

One relating to the future...I feel sad that I won't be around when humans inevitably connect with some other form of life or some incredible space discovery.

There's one regret I have about the past...That I wasn't around for the hippie era.

One that's kind of odd and I can't put my finger on why I feel like this but...I was a teenager in the late 90s/early 2000s and I always had this weird regret that I couldn't ever experience being an American high school kid or going to an American college. Nit sure why but that's really strongly connected to that era and my age then.

Just wondering whether anyone else gets these wistful thoughts!

It sounds so weird, but I wish I was on more photos as a teen, I felt really uncomfortable in my own skin and I was so insecure about how I looked that I avoided being on camera with my family and friends (I always offered to take the photo). I also wish I'd worn the clothes I didn't feel confident enough to wear- I look back and realise how healthy and curvy I looked, but at the time I felt that if I wasn't stick thin I just couldn't wear what I wanted.

I went to Moscow 6 years ago. It was amazing. If it ever becomes possible, do go.

I will never feel the sand under my bare feet and dip my toes in the sea again.

I will never see the Northern Lights.

Your daydreams must be dull as shite

@decionsdecisions62 SS Uganda perhaps? It was a cruise ship for school trips from 1968 to 1982 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Uganda_(1952)

I guess not having a child. Even though I don't actually want one, lol.
Never having a successful career doing something meaningful and creative.

I have always wanted to go horse riding in Mongolia. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Russia, I too am interested in their history, it would be my dream to go back but obviously it’s not going to happen now.

I wish I had gone to uni and ended up with a job like Lucy Worsely . Or been focused enough to be a writer. Liked to have more kids. Liked to have married a decent guy . Just made better choices in so many different ways.

I wish I had had more idea of what I wanted or do when younger and tried to get to uni or done something more useful with my career. Admin has been beneficial and I've worked for some interesting companies but honestly I would love to have done archeology or something to do with museums
