I think holding onto your religion is a good thing. This is probably just drunken banter from you right now. Once you sober up, you'll realize that holding onto your integrity is worth more in the long run than a night of lust.

I wasn't really wondering 'what if' it was more just looking back at my life and already being disappointed in it. i guess i didn't live the life i wanted to live so i'm already regreting part of it. i was just thinking "if i'm already disappointed with my life at 18, how am i going to feel when i'm 80" so that's why lately i've pretty much been thinking about the military and all kinds of things because i don't just want to live life, i want to do some crazy stuff and this is pretty much the only chance i'll have to join the military.

also about that whole holding on to religion, i gave it up over the summer, i kind of stopped trying to believe it. i tried, didn't work very well, now i'm pretty much just living like an agnostic. i still have most of the morals, not the ones about sex but the ones about treating other ppl and stuff.

You've just proven my point. You're reflecting back on a time in your past that you are disappointed in or could have changed. That just leads to some depressing memories and alternate 'what if' scenarios. You're regretting things that you've done instead of learning from them and moving on. Hindsight is always 20/20. You're a more intelligent person now as opposed to two to three years ago thus, thinking back on any situation, you'll more than likely find some fault in what you've done in the past.

How ironic is the saying, "Youth is wasted on the young"? Like I said earlier, taking risks and exiting your comfort zone is what makes life interesting. Besides, how disappointing can your past be? You are where you are because of it. You stated that you're only 18 right now... you've got at least 20 years ahead of you before you can complain that life has treated you unfairly.
