What's your greatest regret? Be as cryptic as possible

Choosing the university near my home village. If you're still in secondary school, only apply to units far enough away that your parents will have no choice but to let you move out.

i “retired” at 40 am now 60, my regret is not retiring sooner. i had a near death experience at age 35, where I genuinely thought that was the end, this was the catalyst to changing my life. I would recommend an NDE for anyone to bring into focus what is important vs what you think is important

This happened some time ago, but I did something kinda bad/cringe and afterwards I thought "I really shouldn't have done that" and it haunts me to this day. That is my biggest regret.
