1: I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
aka i shouldnt have given a single fuck about what others thought of me and just shouldve done whatever the fuck i wanted to do.
"This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.
2: I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
aka i shouldnt have wageslaved. interesting to note that every single male had this regret, and most but not all females had this regret.
All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."
3: I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
4: I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying."
5: I wish that I had let myself be happier.
They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overcame them, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again."
FUCKING BRUTAL
