When we were kids playing games, when we screwed up we would shout "do-over!" . If you had the opportunity to "do-over" any part or all of your life, what would you change, or "do-over"?

There is alot that I would do-over. People who say there is "nothing" they wouldn't change are not being realistic as we all have regrets.
First off - I wouldn't have married my first husband.
Secondly - I wouldn't have gotten in that car with a drunk friend headed for disaster.
Third - I would have gone to college when I first had the opportunity.
Fourth - I would have spent more time with my mother and tried harder to understand my father.
Fifth - I would have spent more time with my teenaged son even tho he pushed me away.
I'm sure I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get my drift. Do-overs would be great from the small things like hurting a friend's feelings to the biggies that I mentioned above.

The way I broke up with my first bf. I would still do it, just not the way I did it. But things like that are hard to think about clearly when you are in the moment and emotions are rampant. Usually things that I think people would do over are the thinks that were done in the heat of the moment.
*side note* Muy: I totally encourage you to go back to school and get that degree. There are lots of people who do that after a few years of work. You deserve to be happy, so go for it. It will be better in the end!

I don't think I would change anything. I look at every stupid thing I've done as a learning experience and I try to always look at the consequences of my actions down the road, instead of just how it's going to be at that moment. I look at it as just growing up and living life. AND some of the stuff was too much fun, even though it was wrong, and I wouldn't take it back today

I've been through so much in my life but I wouldn't do any of it over again. My experiences has made me who I am today! My mistakes in life have taught me many lessons. I am happy with who I have become and I had to go through what I went through to get where I am today!

I would get a college degree, when I was in college I went to a party each and everynight. So that means I didn't attend classes and I failed. If I knew then what I know now, I would be a better person

My "mistakes" were simply life's lessons, designed for me alone, in disguise...so i wouldn't change my life.
I wished I would of been more compassionate and humble in my younger years (am 33 now)...it would of suited me better as a lady....but hey, I am just learning here too!
Good question, by the way!!!

You can't live in the past. I wouldn't do anything over - because everything about my life has made me the fabulous person I am.
I know it sounds conceided, but that's how I feel

No regrets , only lessons learned. I wouldn't do anything over, and I am very thankful for the lessons I have learned from my mistakes.
