Taking that first hit of crack. Led me to getting addicted and wasting four years of my life. It was a blessing in disguise though. It led me into the rooms of AA, CA and NA which resulted in me getting clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol. It was a mistake but it eventually gave me the knowledge that I needed to let all drugs and alcohol alone.

I dont really regret anything but did miss some windows of opportunity.

itā€™s interesting, itā€™s dual, you end up wanting to say no regrets,
cuz you donā€™t want to carry it.
and you end up lying to yourself.

Lets not turn this into an argumentā€¦
I regret running into the mental health system for depression but walking away from it smoking pot. Clearly my issues were much deeper and much more based in paranoia with some hindsight.

I wasted some years there before getting on meds and getting so much better!

I let people use and abuse me. It took me until the age of 30 to learn to stand up for myself.

I never tried in school and gave up second semester of highschool. I was a true idiot. I developed my intellect after I got sick and made it to college but never went far there. My Alter Ego will never forgive, heā€™s my potential. Iā€™ve always been confused about potential, I was delusional, had sz symptoms since a very small boy.:disappointed:

A mistake I made that has affected me for most of my life was letting a particular girl get away. I wish Iā€™d never met her now.

I regret marrying my ex husband. When I was diagnosed he left taking our son with him. I have not seen nor heard from my son since, nearly 10 years now. I doubt I will ever hear from my son again.

I should never have married him.

As eminem said:

ā€œWanna copy me and do exactly like I did? Try ā€˜cid and get ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  up worse than my life is?ā€

Probably doing psychedelics. Sent me into psychosis and cost me the chance at a normal life.

he is a true artist. I guess artists like him like to experience. better doing than not doing it. sort of what the heck kind of an approach. I saw the movie of his life and how he started off on the battles. lots of talent on eminem. Remember however songs may not represent a true life story. remember that themes are chosen by popularity. what people most relate to. money making yo. so the idea is reach as many people as possible. Not always a song comes from a true story but from an imaginary one like Stan which is also a master piece along with Dido.
