Got a regret? A bad take, a moment you wish you could take back, or a decision that still haunts you? Welcome to The Regret Project, a space where you can tell me your story and unburden yourself anonymously. No judgment, no consequences, and no side-eye from your supervisor, your colleague, or your mum.

Your submission might make it into my Substack series, Regret Now, where we celebrate the fine art of screwing up, realizing it, and apologizing. Who knows? Maybe we can even laugh about it later. Don’t worry, though: I’m not here to judge. No identifying details required, and your submission will be completely anonymous.

This isn’t (only) about entertainment or spectacle—it’s about honesty, growth, and maybe a little catharsis. So, if you’re ready, share your story. Who knows? It might help you move forward—and help others realize they’re not alone.

Your Regret or Apology

Write your regret, apology, reflection, or change-of-heart. Please avoid including any identifying details if you wish to remain anonymous.

What kind of regret are we talking about?

If you had to file this regret in a cabinet, which drawer would it go in? Pick the category that fits best (or at least doesn’t feel totally wrong).

Personal Choices: Regrets involving relationships, family, or personal decisions that didn’t go as planned.

Professional Missteps: Workplace errors, career detours, or moments you wish you’d handled differently in your professional life.

Hot Takes Gone Cold: Regrettable opinions, bad calls, or a tweet that aged like milk

Changed Opinions: Shifts in perspective, outdated beliefs, or opinions you’ve re-evaluated over time.

Social Mistakes: Awkward interactions, public missteps, or things you said that didn’t land the way you intended.

Lessons Learned: Regrets that are hard to categorize but taught you something important about yourself or the world.
