There’s been some quite low points in my life like I am sure there has in most people’s lives on here. As long as my health holds out I will continue to enjoy what’s left of my life as all the lows have made me stronger. One thing I learned is it’s best not to dwell on the lows or on your mistakes. Draw a line under them and move on. Life changes so quickly if you do and your head stays up.
Wish I'd studied harder, and fulfilled my dream of being a fast jet pilot. Not many make it and I'd have probably fallen short anyway, but I didn't apply myself at the time.
Was an air cadet for years in my teens, loved flying, but I wasn't clever enough.
Did my apprenticeship with bae, and I've made a good living so can't complain.
Now I'm a bit older, and have a bit of spare money, I'm going to gliding school in May.
I do wish I'd stayed off the sauce and birds during my 30's and 40's, and put a bit more away, but as they say, you're only here once.

I regret my 3 marriages and the mess they left me in. I’m 52 now and have fuck all to my name; no money, no home of my own, a shit paying job and grown children who I hardly ever see. I was supposed to be meeting up with my son next week; have a day in Carlisle, go to the match, maybe an Indian afterwards… He cancelled on me last week telling me he’s going to spend the weekend with his mum instead. He views me as a failure.
I’d give ANYTHING to be able to go back and put right all the things I got wrong.

Regret nothing, life is a learning curve and there to be enjoyed. Nobody has a crystal ball as to what will happen, we make what we consider the best choices at the time, sometimes they work sometimes they don't. Don't beat yourself up about what you consider failures they can't be changed. Some old wounds can be smoothed over, some can't, you can only try. Be kind, be patient, listen to people. Smile often, eat and drink well, savour what you enjoy, from a cup of coffee, a walk, sex, chat, hug, sport. As the song says, No regrets!

What you have might not be where you want to be, but trust me, money doesn't buy you happiness.
Keep in touch with your lad, he only has one dad, and sooner or later you'll be muckers going to the game, I promise.
Try to keep positive mate, your lad will come round, he's a bright lad (unlike his old man lol)
Give it time, don't give up fella
