I would go back and stop fighting and ruining all the good friendships I once had.

I would have stopped my family from making fun of my sister for being overweight when we were little. Maybe then she'd have more confidence in her abilities and her appearance and she wouldn't be in such a terrible relationship.
I'm the only one in my family who took after my mom (5'1", 105 lbs). Everyone else took after my dad's side of the family, which consists of larger women. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone's different. But, my dad's side of the family, (the same people who are overweight themselves) used to make fun of my sister for her appearance. Because she went back for seconds at dinner she was nicknamed "Pit", like the bottomless pit. She was put on diets when she was less than 10 years old. She was constantly nitpicked and scrutinized for her appearance.
Now, almost 20 years later, she's in a volatile relationship, she has no self-confidence, and she's alienated most people from her life because of how she was treated by the people who were supposed to love her the most.
As a child, I just sat back and watched what happened because I didn't know any better. If there was anything I could go back and change, it would be how they treated her so that she could realize that she's beautiful, intelligent, absolutely hilarious, and that she has so much more to offer than she thinks.

Going from the earliest points to the points during later years. :
I would have like to have had a thorough talk with my parents about masturbation when I was a child.
As a teenager I would have liked to have said no to alcohol, drugs and other intoxications.
As a young adult I would have liked to have chosen to go to a nearby Hare Krsna Temple that was better developed when that option was offered to me. During this same immediate time frame I would have preferred to have stuck it out at the local Hare Krsna Temple long enough to get first diksa which was being offered to me.
A little later I would have preferred to have chosen the work of a chaplain in the military when the option was offered to me. During that same time frame I would have preferred to not have squandered my virginity.
Well, the list goes on. Didn't know which one to offer.

In college..I studied to be a teacher and I was darn good..but I also worked for a clothing department store near by campus. I was invited to become a buyer for them and move with them to Chicago. I wanted to spread my 21 year old wings and go, but my Dad put his foot down and told me under no uncertain terms that I was going to finish my degree. I met my husband shortly after that decision..how I would love to go back and see what life would have held for me had I gone and what other men may have passed my way.

I'd go back to 9th grade and not break up with my best friend because of pressure from some kids I thought were cool... Otherwise, except for putting more effort into studying (which I don't think counts 'cause who would really do that?!?) I wouldn't change anything...

Assuming it's part of the chance; I would go back to when I was 5 and NOT move to North Carolina

I wouldn't change anything. Everything happens for a reason, so if I went back and changed something, I wouldn't be the same person today, in some way ... and I like who I am.

I would change nothing because everything happens for a reason. I am a karma waaraama.
