“If you could go back and just change one thing in your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Would you choose an entirely different path? Or would you just change just one thing, just one moment? One moment you want always back?”
- One Tree Hill; Season 4, Ep. 14
Every time we encounter problems, most of the time, we wish we could turn back time to change certain situations in the past. We are left with the “If’s” and the “should have’s…” We think of statements like “If was only given a chance…”, “if it was not because of him”, so on and so forth. Then we look back and regret the things that we have done. Such situations can help us to move forward with our lives or can hinder us from enjoying our current state. Either we accept reality or become blinded with the good things that are ahead of us.
I remember when I was in my 1st year high school. I have a friend whom I was always with every break time. We share stories, we give advices about what to do with our crushes, and we help each other in almost all aspects of our teenage years. We were happy then. But because one mistake I did, our friendship seemed to fall apart. At first, I thought the situation was just okay.
Fast forward to my 2nd year, I realized each day we were becoming more and more distant to each other. I tried to make up for what I did until I was in 3rd year and 4th year high school. But in the end, I realized that it was already too late for me to rebuild our great friendship again.
There were days when I can’t help but regret that moment. All I wanted was to turn back the time and change the wrong things that I have done. But life is not meant for us to go back in the past. We cannot live a life of regret. Instead all we can do is move forward, recover and learn from the mistakes we have caused other people.

if's... my only advice guys is not to live in the past and wonder about ifs.. move on i know its hard right now but its for the best...
as the song goes... Go on girl, go on girl... its better to leave the pain and hurt behind.. i love you neyo see you on friday!!!
good guy, you're not such a good guy you know that, you left me alone, i thought you will always be there for me but no, you left me all alone hanging, and with went out with that girl, i was hurt and i think i still am hurting, the pain is so much that i can't sleep at night, you bastard, you bastard good boy
i do not worry about ifs i can bend time!!! i'm hero nakamura.. Go heroes!!
to jill:
i think its for the better.. i hope youre okay now
i regreted the day i fought with sub-zero, i can't turn back time anymore, he's still here never leaving my side, but it's akward that we don't speak to each other, sub-zero, i love you
as the song goes "im so thankful i found you"... regret is not a topic in my life i always look for the good in things and its true that when god takes he gives.. an i believe whenever a moment in time is taken away a better one replaces it
bad bi*ch do not treat me like that... i deserve a better treatment... i did not leave you.. you were very cold to me i was giving hints before, hints that will explain my love for you.. i was taken... taken for granted... eventhough, someone's holding me special, i can't give a definite answer to her coz, my heart will always keep you close, special... i miss you!!!
to kabuki:
(akward silence).... this is for you!!!
live in the present and make it worth living!!
(breaking the akward silence)...sub-zero why so cold to me? don't be like that, i still want to be with you, i am always with you, you always ride my back
If i were to turn back time, i would be a better student. And i would start off on the right track
ano ba yan, may mga LQ ba dito?
If i would change something in the past, i wouldn't be the same person i am right now
I am happy with my life, in spite of my many imperfections
fo the lover above i feel your pain.. i hope you can work things out..
Happy are those who find contentment in their lives :)
I'M A HUGE TREE HILL FAN :D
There are so many things i wish i didn't do in the past..
Be regret-free!
see you still care for me... i can see that there's still room for forgiveness... i give you signals but you gave me nothing.. just ask yourself why would a guy carry your things? why would this guy txt me the whole night? or why would he always buy bobaloca for me? ask these things and ask yourself did you give me any signs? im not a manghuula you know
i hate one tree hill, don't like the characters don't like anyone, and i sure do hate that quote
i'm riding yor back because you imagine me riding your back try imagining me out of your lif maybe thatsbetter...
oh i hate how much i love you good guy, i can't stand how much i need you, i hate how much i love you good guy but i just can't freaking let you go, and i hate that i love you sooooooooooooooooooooooo.......
i want to imagine you beside me while i sleep, us holding hands till the sun rises
i have lots of regrets, but just accept them as they happen because i know i can't do anything about it. it's a sad thought but that's life for me, i just think to myself that i am still alive, that in itself is good enough to make me stay happy
great post ruther, i really like the way you told us about your story, kudos to you
too deep...
regretting is so useless. a waste of time. there's nothing you can do about it anyway
Past is past. get over it!
nice story :)
I used to have a best friend. A guy best friend. Now, its so hard to patch things up. We're still friends but things are a lot different now
When the damage has been done, all you can do is say sorry and change for the better. its impossible to undo the past
that's why they called it the past, it's already been done, it's finished, no way to go back and change for the better, all we could do is simply to move on, be strong
great post ruther, very heart felt
what's done is done, no need to get sad about it and ruin your life, it's not worth it, never was it worth anything, thinking about the past
very sad post ruther, i like it
as the saying goes, "it ain't ober till its over" and the past is already done so basically, it's over
sad but true
what a sad reality we have
mas lalo kung mahal mo yung nagpasakit ng puso mo, di ka talaga makakatulog sa gabi nun, malulungkot ka talaga ng mahabang panahon
i'm a sad person, i always slash my wrist when i'm sad
nice and depressing post ruther, i'm sad
let's slash our wrists, who is with me, i am sad, depressed, and damn lonely, ayaw ko na mabuhay, maglalaslas na ako!!!!
kabuki you are sick you know that, please imagine me away from you, i don't want anywhere near you, you disgust me!!
aba naman, ang tindi ng post ni ruther, melowdramatic
"tell me, where did i go wrong, what can i do to change completely" i hate my life!!!! lets slash our wrists, emo guy i need you para may kasama ako dito
a sad side of lide, great post ruther, brave post, just keep on holding on brother
i regret that i fought with someone, if only i could speak to that person, i'm sort comings, it'll my fault, my head was big, i'm really sorry
i love this post, makes me remind of many things and contemplate on them
this article is so emo, it really suits me, slashing time
sad story ruther, i feel for you
the one thing i hate asking is if, "what if" i hate it, i want to move on with my life, what's done is done already
subbyzeroy, please understand, i don't want you to go, you will always be on my mind and not let you go, i always want you to be everywhere i go, with me in anything that i do, you are my one and only companion in this generation
mapurol talaga ang blade ko, i slashed stronger but it didn't work
ruther i had the same experience with you, can oyou be my friend instead?
this post makes me depressed, not cool, but it's great that you post it anyway, it's a favt of life i guess
why is it that i can't get the past off my mind, it sticks with me just like that, it's hard, i was once 130 pounds, now i'm only 90
as the song goes, "if you say that you love me, promise you'll always ne there, but my love will always be with you." sad thing is that my love ain't with me anymore
mukhang lahat ng mga regrets sa past nila dito mga love problems ah? meron bang may regrets na hindi love ang problem nila?
i just want to be with you my subby, my heart will never be zero because you are always in it...i'm so happy to have you, i imagine that you are happy with me, forever
happy go lucky, lahat kami puro may love problems, sorry naman, happy go lucky ka lang, kung gusto mo sama ka nalang sa akin sa pag laslas ko ng pulso, yun nalang ikakasaya ko
i love one tree hill! haha more quotes!
nice one :)
no, i will not change a thing
mistakes always happen
i always believe that everything happens for a reason!
you make choices,and you don't look back
you get nothing when you keep regretting
i love lines by one tree hill. i heart nathan scott!
learn from your mistakes :)
great story!
If something went wrong in the past.Dont dwell on it too long.Stand up and move forward...
good moral lesson!
MOVE ON! ----- easy to say, but hard to do haha
It takes time to realize our mistakes.That is why it's good to listen to those who were experienced in life like the elderly
We could avoid mistakes if we could be less daring in Life.Slow down,analyze things before you decide to do something major in life.
Regret is for people who are not contented with their lives
don't get stuck in your past
Mistakes only make you stronger!
ONE TREE HILL!!!!
Life goes on :)
You can never move forward if you're stuck with your past
i agree with you dont be stuck with the past
i feel for you. i've encountered the same situation before
we must all be mature and accept the things cannot change
worrying about the past will not do any good to you
i agree with you dont be stuck with the past
be happy with your life today!
my friend sub-zero will never leave me, because i want him to be always by my side
was the damage that bad for your friend not to forgive you? :(
tree hill drama!
lang hiya, i can't slash my wrist well, mapupurol mga blades dito sa bahay

great post ruther
Catch Urbandub and their new music video launching tomorrow at 6UG, Pearl Drive, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, 8PM. see you there.
nice post
move on...
this is a good one!
thanks for sharing this ruther the man!!
i wish i had done better earlier on in school.. that's what i would like to change!
Powerful quote.. I have learned to live life without regret. It's quite hard to do but life just has to go on... We can't live our life always looking back to what has been done, hoping to change it. The past is past, it's time to move forward.
or sharing this nice post ruther!
I must admit, when Lucas blurted out these lines, it hit me: would I want to go back to change something from my past? My answer would be yes, but at the back of my mind, there's this fear. If I change that one thing in my life, I would have been a totally different person. I would probably still be a child and not actually see the reality. It would all be so idealistic and so story-free if I change that event in my life. Now going back, would I still go back? No. I don't think so. Cause right now, I am no longer stupid. I know what is going on outside my own small world. I know why bad things happen. I know what bad things are for. I know why bad people are the way they are. I know why bad exists.
And it's a relief to know that the bad things are the ones that actually triggers my understanding of what is good, day by day. That's a good thing, right?
Now that I know, I will not go back to change anything. Not at all. My past is how I know what I know now.
Best of all, I know what I want, and I want what I know. :)
i don't want to change any thing in my past..whatever life i had before made me who i am right now..
those experiences made me stronger..
those were one of my driving forces to continue life despite the trials that come my way..
i don't live life hanging on the regrets of my past..
i learned so many lessons and i'm grateful for those things..
i'm aiming that i should live my present life to the fullest and be hopeful for what the future may bring to me..
anyway, nice story kuya!
One tree hill sucks! gossip girl is the new thing!
all our pst experiences shape us into who we are today, both the good and the bad. What if's will only make us miserable and think of the many possibilities that could have and should have happened. If we think about it, what if's don't help, if any, they only make us miserable.
I would not like to go back and change anything, because if i did, i wouldn't be the same person i am now.

great post ruthee
this post reminds me that in life we should never let our regrets pull us down. for us to no basically not regret in the future, we should always treasure each and every moment we have in our lives.
yuk one three hill? The OC is better.
hey I am STRONG guys and gals. great post. lovin it
what the hell is this? too sentimental. im too fly to be depressed
hey you chuck bass? you ain't ne-yo

comments comments! i love it
WHO WENT TO NE-YO concert?
Hey guys! wala lang
I agree with NANCY! nice comment girl
what do you guys think of... this BLOG SITE?
bored ako. i need a textmate
Good quote, i like it
If i could turn back time, i would be smarter on deciding on important choices in my life
I should've waited a little more time before getting married
to jill:
you are definitely right, we all learn from our mistakes
I'd rather learn from the mistakes of other
It is inevitable to commit mistakes no matter how hard we try not to
I should have been more careful in choosing whom to trust
i remember one situation that I have been very kind to this person who is financially challenged, i even extended my financial held, but then in the end, she caused me so much pain
Do you regret helping that person?
Not really Aimee, I don't regret doing good things for my neighbor.
The lesson, don't get so attached unless you don't know the person very well
You have a point on that
it's because we are all inclined in making mistakes to others
less attachment, less pain
less pain, less regret
But it doesn't mean we have to be cold to people around us, we just have to be sensitive enough
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...
part of our everyday life
it's part of our imperfection
there are only few things that I regret
I am happy with what I am today despites of the many mistakes i've made in my life
i regret cutting my hair...
It'll grow back Nice
it's not a disastrous mistake
If only I have my beautiful hair that time when i met him, he might gave more attention to me
Oh, that's disastrous... just kidding
I regret being too kind
there's a thin line between being to kind and being gullible
I never regret marrying my husband even if we are in crisis today
Regret is normal from the moment we realize our mistakes
But regretting in your entire life won't help you to grow
what about things that we regret saying...
Though all of us make mistakes, these need not be a cause for despair.
we may not be aware of our mistakes unless someone points them out to us
Would a child learn to walk without ever stumbling? No, for a child learns from mistakes and keeps on trying until balance is achieved.
To lead balanced lives, we also need to learn from our mistakes and those of others.
We are talking about IFs here..
One lesson is that God does not condemn all who make mistakes but judges only those refusing to rectify them if possible.
You know what regret is. It is a wish that something could be done over and done differently
It is mental sorrow for past conduct or neglect
All of us have done things that we wish we could go back and do differently
Many persons worry about their mistakes. But will worry solve the problem?
Apology to the one wronged may help to restore good relations. Avoiding the circumstances that led to the wrong will help to avoid future difficulty.
Good comments people, but do you any regrets? Share it with us
a lot of regrets
Our chief concern now should be for the present and the future.
We must maintain a course of faithfulness that will prevent any possible regrets at a future time
Just as we looked back over the past five years, let us look five years into the future
good advice anonymous
If only I studied harder, then I could be a cum laude
I was never a grade-conscious student
If only I took good care of my health, i will never experience cramps during my period
the pain is killing me
if only I've invested my money wisely, then I have a sure good income
I should have been wiser in choosing my friends
they betrayed you Alonelyguy?
Since we all commit mistakes and regret, that's a good quote for all of us
I just realized how much mistakes i've made... hehehe
Yeah Snow, everytime you're around we feel cold
Excuse me, do i know you?
I smell blood...
Oooppsss... hello everyone
post your comments people
That is a nice quote...
I regret eating peanuts the other day, I had an asthma attack
So next time I will not eat someone else's food
Instead feeling pity for me, my husband was a bit mad
Pasaway ka pala!
I could share this quote to my friends
Hello, just dropping by
