Submissions

Submit a regret.

We welcome contributions from people who have made at least one decision they would, with the benefit of hindsight, like to formally walk back.

What we're looking for

  • First-person. Your regret, not your housemate's.
  • 500–1,500 words. Enough to commit. Not enough to spiral.
  • A regret rating, 1–10. Be honest. We can tell when you're not.
  • An answer to: “Would you do it again?” “Yes, and probably will” is an acceptable answer.
  • One lesson learned, optional. “None, frankly” is also an acceptable answer.

What we are not looking for

  • Crimes. (Speak to a lawyer, not us.)
  • Other people's regrets, dressed up as your own.
  • Things that are obviously a flex pretending to be a regret. We can see you.

By submitting, you agree to be edited, gently, by someone with their own regrets.
