Have you ever been forced to do something by your parents/friends/teachers/colleagues/etc?
And at the time, it seemed pointless and boring? And so when the time came to do the activity, whatever it may have been, you really hated doing it and didn't try hard. But later.. after you stopped doing it, you regret quitting and not trying hard?

Well I don't know if that made sense, but I stopped taking piano lessons about 2 years ago. Every time my mum told me to practice, I would take really long breaks in between each section/piece, and a lot of the time I would "pretend" to have practiced [say that I practiced when they went for walks, but really, I didn't]. I really didn't like playing piano before.. But now after I've quit and I've matured, I've realized my interest in music and playing the piano.. I love to play the piano but if I had actually tried while I was still taking lessons, I could be a lot better right now.

Do you have any regrets like this one?
Blog - enjoy :D

yeah definitely. i started tae kwon do when i was 6 and quit when i was 16 or so... i really wish i hadn't. not only am i no longer in shape, it sucks to go to tournies (my sister still fights/competes) and see the girls i used to be able hold my own against and know that they could kick my ass.

Haha. Sounds a lot like me, except my mom would desperately want me
to attend piano lessons and I refused so much~~

Now I have no musical talent at all. :/

haha im totally in this situation right now. except no one is really making me do it.
but i reeeeeally want to. its like theres two of me. one is making me do it, the other succumbs to the desire of going home immediately after school and watching asian dramas.


track and field.
ughh.
loved it freshman year, but sophomore year and jun10r year (this year) i totally lost all my confidence. in myself, my looks, everything.



and i wish my parents pushed me to be athletic. cause im totally not right now. my coordination SUCKS.
i wish i did ayso, but after my two brothers and sister did it..idk i was never given the chance/:
and i wish i couldve learned to play an instrument. like the piano or violin.
but no.
i was never really pushed to do anything really..except my mom tried making me do dance. but dance at mt middle school was for the ho es and girls whos personalities really annoyed me.
so h to the e double l no.

wow. im just one big ball of complaints.

Ballet and Tae Kwon Do.
-My parents made me take ballet lessons when I was four, but my mom says I was adamant about never going again after one class. I really wish I stuck with it.
-My brother signed up for Tae Kwon Do, which meant I went, too. We went for two months and he decided not to go anymore, so it's not really my fault.
-I really wish my mom forced me to take piano lessons. She pestered me a lot about it when I was younger, but I always said no.

i kind of regretted quitting piano lessons for a while but then i started practicing it again on my own. i also kind of regret not continuing with swimming when i was younger, but i technically didn't quit. i think my parents just stopped taking us to the lessons...sometimes i wish i had been on the swim team or something back in high school.. ><

Some girls voted me to ask this guy if he was gay or not
Didn't want to, but I did for the sake of my sisterhood and that guy went bawling and started to cry going "How could youuuuuuuuuuu"
We never got an answer but now we have something affirmating our assumption
You are now breathing manually

Well, I didn't get FORCED but my mom managed to convince me to want to take piano.
My mom wanted to switch teachers to a Vietnamese teacher at a house so it'd be cheaper
and easier to pay, but I refused because I thought it felt too awkward. It was sooo long ago
but I regret not wanting to, because then I'd actually HAVE a talent that I could work with.

Then I took vocal lessons by my own choice, but it was sooooo boring and the teacher who
taught me wasn't very good.. she was too easy with me, and she'd say 'oh, that's right!' even
though I just know it wasn't. So I guess I took advantage of that and didn't practice.
Neither did my sister, and we did what you did - took long breaks. There was a mirror in the
piano room, so we'd just sit there and camwhore and make stupid faces.

Sometimes, I despise being so lazy -___-;; I couldv'e been the least bit talented in music areas.

I actually wish my parents were more strict about me learning Chinese. I hated Chinese school and I was kind of a lazy kid. In elementary school they kind of just gave up on me and spoke in English to me instead of Chinese so I ended up losing out on learning the language fluently. I can still understand a bit but, can not read or write and my speaking is very terrible.
