If you're still in secondary school, only apply to units far enough away that your parents will have no choice but to let you move out.

[โ€“] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

This happened some time ago, but I did something kinda bad/cringe and afterwards I thought "I really shouldn't have done that" and it haunts me to this day. That is my biggest regret.

Okay as cryptic as possible, hmm, let me see... I encrypted everything and lost the keys?

[โ€“] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

i "retired" at 40 am now 60, my regret is not retiring sooner.

i had a near death experience at age 35, where I genuinely thought that was the end, this was the catalyst to changing my life.

I would recommend an NDE for anyone to bring into focus what is important vs what you think is important
