If today were your last day, what would be your biggest regret?

Not having played more vidya and watched more animu

I surprisingly don't regret much about my life despite having excelled at nothing I've actually 'achieved'. Got a master's degree I shrug off, not for lack of use but just having no real interest in being a high-brow academic. Likewise if I look back, I wouldn't have been in a mindset to become a blue collar worker, nor would I have had a much different life if I pursued marine biology as per original intent. I've heard only just now that our version of high school which is all books is gonna add classes for artisan type shit. I honestly think trying that sorta stuff would've swayed a lot of my peers away from "books are for smart people and I'm smart".

1. True to yourself being what? Breaking up with the wife and sucking cock? The only way I can relate to this is to "talk to people I built an illogical hatred towards", which is exclusively during high school/uni and can be undone with one good message on facebook. The only reason this would fail is if they're actually still bad people, or have a family and would require physical presence to be able to keep the link going. You get nothing from texting a friend who lives 2 hours away.
2. Working 'so hard' only really applies in my country to those working more than the usual 37 hours, so entrepreneurs and tryhard lawyer wannabes putting in extra unpaid hours. It's a failure of mindset to not leave work at the door, and if you physically can't because of duties, you should at least make a lot extra money.
3. Fumbled the bag. A very real issue if not the fact most of these answers came from normies who rather engage in mindgames or social grifts than go "ayo i dig ya cut G".
4. Why didn't -they- stay in touch? Were they worth it? Nostalgia? Most people don't change from the point at which you cut them out, especially during youth. The few successful reconnects I've had, they were basically the same people but with beards and kids. My 'best friend' from public school just tossed his new daughter into my mom's kindergarten. He expresses interest in reconnecting, but he just.. doesn't? He want ME to talk to him first, by asking my mom to relay it. Nah nigga fuck off. Flaw of character.
5. Negative visualization. I have an apartment, a car, a cat, a job. This is great. I make more in my bottom tier job than most of you probably do in good jobs. It is indeed a choice.

If I could change anything, the only thing would be to push my past self into a job. Mature quicker, get a more realistic understanding of life, be more inclined to find a job during uni, easier time transitioning into a real job. Or realize humanities is a lost cause and choose a better uni degree. Literally only not getting a job 18 would I change.

I mean what wouldn't I regret? I regret every choice I do or don't make, no exceptions.
"What could have been" is the greatest curse of all.
 
If I died today, I'd regret not bothering to improve myself sooner.
