I regret not listening to my parents, who are two of the smartest people on this planet. I regret not going right after UG to start on a masters and having to wait 7 years to start on it.
I regret waisting the time of this wonderful young lady, when i knew that I really didn't want to be with her but I sorta kept her hangning on for almost a year. She is a wonderfull woman, and deserved to be happy.
I regret the first couple of years after UG that I waisted.
I am going to stop, cuase I got toooooo many regrets.

Nupe,
I know you wanted to add "I wished I was Light-skinned to the list"
, but I must say, you are taking it all in stride. You make me proud to be your brother.
No seriously, I think my biggest regret was not finishing school the first time. It's amazing how when you are young (17-23), you have no clue that some small decisions kan have such a big impact on your life. Then before you know it, you are almost 26 and wondering where and how it all went by. That's why I try to spend as much of my time talking to younger individuals, hoping that they want make mistakes similiar to the ones that I made. But 9 times out of 10, you can't save people, they are gonna do what they choose... just like I did.
If I wasn't light skinned, I probably wouldn't have been able to bounce back
