if so what and why...what difference do you think it would have made to your life?
or maybe you are just a 'no regrets' person...;0)
before you all ask...i wouldnt change or say anything differently...even though there are things i prefer to have done without ...i think those are the things that can often make or break you and there are always silver linings to every cloud...;0)

There are so many things that I've done that I'm regretful of, that I'm embarrassed about, that I'm angry over... but I wouldn't change one of them.
What I've done in the past has made me who I am today. Those stupid things I did were a learning experience. Those hurtful things I said taught me a few things as well. Not that I'm proud of doing or saying them, but I know now, that I'm *not* proud of them. That lets me know that I don't want to do them again in the future.
It doesn't mean that I won't ever do or say something stupid (like I have in the past) again in my life... but it does give me some depth into who I am, what I'm comfortable with, and how I feel about various behaviors I exhibit.

My journey's been eventful and there are moments that I remember with great uncomfortability. But I am the sum of the parts and where I am now I would not change for anything in the world.
I do remember the first person out there I hurt at the tender age of 9 years old, I got the chance to meet them several years later and I apologised for my actions which had been long forgotten by her. I felt lighter, the burden lifted, but I found it strange that my 1st memory of deliberate nastiness had weighed me down for much longer than it had it's intended victim. That's what is great about choice, even the wrong ones have an indelible effect on your life and shape your future actions even positively.

I look at my life now and how happy I am and think that if I had done or said anything differently in the past, I may not be the person and have the life that I have now.
The only thing I do regret is how awful I was to my mum when I was a teenager, but I learnt from that and she was a fantastic mum, we are very close.

I believe that we are a sum of our experiences. Removing or altering a part of your past will change the person that you are today. I suppose that I simply accept that we cannot change the things we've said and done and hope that I will both learn from my mistakes and grow from my experiences. That said... I would go back and take more risks! Fear of failure, injury and/or embarrassment has probably prevented me from experiencing great pains/joys/laughs! Anything else that I would like to say or do differently, I think that I can still do now.

I think that everyone has something that they regret. I have a couple but it is nothing serious. There are a couple of guys that I would not have dated, just minor things like that. I have found out that the older you get the more of a "No regrets" person you become.

If you are talking about relationships, I regret not having had the self-confidence to believe someone when I was told I was loved. A lack of self-esteem is responsible for so many, many mistakes in life.

theres a song called The Dance by Garth Brooks that says it all.
if you knew what was to be and changed your direction u would miss the good parts that came with the bad, so,
i have a million decisions that i would change, but then i wouldn't have had the experiences i did.
learn from the choices u made and roll on

I would do the whole of my adolesence again, not be a bi*ch, listen at school, loved my parents more and yeah not be a bi*ch..basically I was a cow bag. But who isnt when they are a teenager, you just spend the next few years going back studying and making yourself a better, stronger person.

I wouldn't have got married at age 20; far too young. I hadn't lived or had any fun by then. I might have met some-one who would have been better for me.

Don't think there's much I would change. Wish my grandma lived a little longer, but there wasn't much I could do about it.
