regrets-- ive had a few :) but then again to few too mention ;D

i try not to regret if i can possibly help it,i think,whats the point in
regrets,it only eats away
at a persons good memorys,so i do just that,focuse on the good memorys,and
ive made sure throughout my life to clock up loads and loads of those
,amaizing exsperiences with fantastic memorys attached and no one can take
those away from you ever remember that ;)))
