Top Five Regrets of the Dying

June 2, 2023


  1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
  2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
  3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
  4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
  5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Thinking back on my life, I have a lot of regrets that I've accumulated.

This list is a good reminder to not let another day go by without being true to myself, to remember to take breaks and enjoy life, to have the courage to express my feelings, to call up my old friends and check up on them, and to remember that happiness is a choice.
