If you could go back to any one point in your life and change something, would you? Not knowing whether the rest of your life could turn out better or worse? And the people that you care about, thier lives could and most likely would change.
No stupid comments please.

If I change something it might just make life worse. I have had some times where I wish that just didn't happen and I want to change it. But I don't know what might happen to the part of life that I don't want to change. I just try to accpet life as it is.

At this point in my life, probably not. I thought about going back in time to change my college major so that my career path would turn out different. But then I would have lived in a different part of the country, met other people, and not have met the people that I know now.
And I might be less well rounded as an individual now if my career took a different path (long story).

That's the easiest thing ever, in my case.
I would go to freshman year of high school and hand myself a copy of the essay I've linked to below. I hated high school, and the main reason why is because I was harassed by lots of people until my senior year. I went into a really deep depression that hasn't broken until recently, and this essay would've made me feel so much better and prepared me mentally for this time in my life.
I would've known that high school was crap, that popularity was crap, that I should focus on school and find some people who were real (i.e. not focussed on the whole popularity thing) to be friends with and that I should plan for the blessed day I leave that dive and go to university, where cliques didn't control everything and people were much more relaxed and not worried about the meaningless bull that obsesses high school students.
Granted, I did find a few fellow social outcasts to become friends with, but it still sucked horribly. I couldn't deal with it, save to start cutting and burning. It was hell, and this essay would've saved me years of grief.
Seriously - in my humble opinion, it should be required reading for any geek or nerd or other social exile entering the hormonal prison of high school.

I would love to go back to the age of 18 and start again. I would do everything differently. Just for a start, I would never drink or take drugs.

Let's hear about you! We can't determine the outcome of our future. The mistakes we've made are a thing of the past. If we did things differently, ahh, we might not be here to discuss it! Some things better left unsaid!

Once I married the wrong guy. If I had to do it all over again I'd have checked him out before we married. And just remained friends. Being with him I lost my career and had to restart and it was a diffifult and long restart.

I would change thousands of things, but I am faithful and I know this where I am right now is where I should have to be anyways

I wouldn't change a thing. Because the past reflects what I am today. Besides, you can't look ahead if you're always looking back ...

Yes. I can think of a few moments in which I made decisions that would have led to different (happier)outcomes.

Yes. One small thing. It would make my life much easier and less complicated. But, too late now! I gotta live with my choices.
