10. Dancing / Raving
11. Writing / Music Journalism
12. Making music
13. Getting a decent career??!

yeah to me the answer is "cos i was doing other things" - we only have one path

lifestyle regrets are for milquetoasts

Pretty much entirely #13 atm.

that's not to say i did everything RIGHT though? I did some of the stuff I mentioned but there was an awful lot of dossing around and/or making mistakes and/or barking up the wrong tree.

Thought about the career thing; things have got much better over the last five years or so, and I'm now doing what I thought I might want to do when I was about 25, I just didn't know how to. Turns out you just ask! Sort of. So I vaguely regret not 'asking' sooner, but at the same time my 'fallow' years of 'career' gave me plenty of time to do other stuff (writing, etc, mainly). So I'm not sure how much I do regret it.

Answer to converse thread: going on ILX

all said, i've achieved so many more of my twenties lifegoals in my thirties, i don't regret it so much. there are things i think i could have done better or followed through on but i'm sure i had my reasons at the time not to. so it's all good really.
