No Regrets About Not Regretting

A fool does not learn from her mistakes.
A smart person learns from her mistakes.
A wise person learns from the mistakes of others.
 But it takes a truly proud, asinine, immovable person to claim they have no regrets, that they would change nothing in the past.
 I have certainly made my fair share of problems for myself, but I will never be someone who holds her head in the air and declares "No regrets!"
 If given the chance, I would snap my fingers, undo the hurt I caused, and change my fate. Since that's not a possibility, I'll move forward and pretend I am a magical healer, fixing all the wrongs and rejoicing in the rights.
 Teenaged Lindsay thought she was so clever, so bright, so bulletproof. She was right. I wish she could see me now, give me some advice.
There's lots I would change.
