Older Generations, What Are Your Biggest Regrets From Your 20s And 30s, That You Hope Younger People Will Avoid?

Let's stop youth from being wasted on the young, for once.

There is nothing more valuable than life experience.

And getting perspective from someone who has already lived through something that you're going through can be really life-changing.

That's why I'm coming to the BuzzFeed Community, asking you to share your stories about your biggest regrets from your 20s and 30s so we can start a conversation, learn from our pasts, and inspire others to live well.

Perhaps you didn't take a job opportunity because it would have required you to move across the country, and now that you have more perspective, you wish you would have just said "yes" even though it felt scary.

Maybe you spent years not talking to a friend or family member, and wish you could go back to tell yourself that what happened didn't actually matter, and to just pick up the phone.

Or it could be that you were never satisfied with the way you looked, and wish you could go slap the younger version of yourself for wasting time feeling that way instead of going out and just LIVING!
