I'm 20 and am extremely annoyed with the fact that I've wasted a great deal of my life just dreaming and not doing. I remember being 13 and not wanting to grow up; it's in my journal that I was freaking out about becoming 14. This has been a trend since. I'm now bettering myself and just forcing my *** to live stronger, fuller, and more versatile. How about you? If you could start your life all over again knowing the life lessons that you've learned so far, would you do it?

I wouldn't start my life over knowing what I know now. Yes, it could save a lot of grief over the silly little things in life, but that really isn't the point in living, is it? It's all about learning, and experiencing, whether the experience is good or bad.
You are only 20. You have many years left to live. Instead of spending time wishing you could relive your life, use that knowledge you have gained to make a difference in the world. If you were a child again with this same knowledge, what could you really accomplish? You will find you can speak out now for all you belive in, whereas being a child, who would really listen?

If I could I would. But there are negative connotations for that too. Like if I changed one thing knowing what would happen if I didn't and maybe my whole life was worse would I truly be happy even though I knew all sorts of lessons already? I don't think I would be happy. Because if you knew the answers to the lesson already, what would be the point of going to class? And that's what life is. A class that we attend to learn the lessons that will help us live.

Actually, I was ready to type in yes, and then I thought about it. I'm 22 years old, have two great kids, a four year old daughter and a two and a half year old son. Sure I wish I hadn't gotten pregnant so early in life, but would I give up my girl? Never. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten pregnant again so soon after my girl? Then I wouldn't have my little man. There are things about my life that I would change, absolutely. Everyone has that wish. But if I went back and made different choices, I probably wouldn't have my kids, because I would have never dated their father. So, I suppose if the opportunity was given to me, I would have to say, no, but thank you. Great question, by the way.

My gut answer is yes; but I would also have to consider this: would time rewind with me as I start again (would I go back to 1984) or would my new life begin in 2006? I think either repurcussion has a big impact on many if/when factors to be considered. But perhaps I'm being just a bit too technical.

My answer to that question is Absolutely NO
Now or then we still pass by bad and wrong situation, we all experience a bad moment that we wish was never there.
Life is precious, and it comes from God only Him decide when he will take it away. I would not like to sin against my God in thinking that why I was born in these times.
We all have purposes in this world and our duty is to fulfilled them before our time comes.
20 is still a very young age, you have not lost anything. You still have lot to afford, even if you were 60 years. Every minute that the clock tick is important to us and to someone we can help.
Put your self esteem up and start focusing in what is ahead of you. Thinking that way it is a waist of time. So start by saying to yourself. I am very important, someone needs me. I am somebody.
So is not what you think and do for you self, is what you can think and do for others.

I live my life in regret and it kills you and it eats you a bit by bit every day. Every day you say, "This will be a new day." And you can't seems that your life is controlled by someone else who doesn't want your happyness. But I don't believe in God. And if we could do it all over again. How better would it be, just knowing before everyone else... Taking the chances you never took... Avoiding those things that harmed you... Grasping the people that care about you and love you. Cherishing those perfect moments...

Yes I would because I could have done a lot more. But its not possible, and although I've made a few mistakes in the past, its best not to live with regret, look forwards not backwards and get on with your life.

Wow you're wise person...first of all get yourself in school...before you know it, you'll be looking back and wondering what the heck happened to your life. Time flies and doesn't wait around for no one. Your education is the most important thing you can do for yourself - get a degree and even a masters. Corporate American is cruel if you don't have an educations.
If I could turn the hands of time backwards...I would definately get more educated.
Good luck.
