I just saw a "yahoo's" 360 profile. The person is celebrating 10 years together with their significant other. I had a girl when I was younger, I wish I could still be with together today. I'm still in contact but she's married. I don't want to get back with her, we've grown appart. I wish we could've grown together but I was too immature to realize what a great chance I had in front of me, but my inderests dealt in using drugs, drinking, partying and going to concerts with my 'big 'ol friends' who didn't respect me and are not around anymore. If I could I'd go back in time to tell myself these things. At least I know I'll be happy, even if it is on a diferent timeline.
GUYS! Understand yourselves and your behaviour. Don't waste your time doing things with ulterior motives. Go to your girls and get to know them in every way possible. Hug them and tell them you love them and really mean it. Don't obsess, but never let them go.

I would tell myself to get counseling because I had (and still do to a point) a self esteem issue and didn't think I was important or worthwhile.
I also didn't have fun. I worked too much, too too many college classes at once, so I basically went to school, studied, and worked. That's it. No memories, no social life. I am now in my early 30's and kicking myself in the *** about it now.
Also, if I could talk to any young person I would tell them that they don't have to get married to feel important and that they don't need another person to feel whole because they are whole as themselves...

Hindsight is always conveniently 20/20.....
No i would not want to go back. We only become better people by learning from our mistakes. We learn very little from the things we do right because they are not as life changing or traumatic. That's what life is, a journey not a destination. You have learnt from your mistakes and will never do that behavior again. So the next girl you meet (and you will by the way) will get the best of you so your learning experience will ultimatley be a good thing.

How sweet & mature of you. She is married now, though, so I hope you don't keep dwelling on her. There are other girls out there & there are other things a single person can do to fulfill their lives & make it meaningful. That's all a part of life & growing up. Having a healthy attitude of reflecting on your life, what you'd do differently, etc is maturing & bettering one's self. To mature you'd have to be able to see what immature was & grow from it. Sounds like you are on your way. Happy to hear you are getting older & wiser! {hugs to you!}
Please don't obsess over your mistakes to where you think you blew it & have no future. You can still be happy. There's other chances! And ways to make life meaningful & fulfilled starting from where you are. :)
It doesn't mean you may never make any more mistakes or have regrets, you can be more careful now, but if you do stumble, again, the awesome thing is to learn from that, too & keep striving to be better! You are a work in progress, keep going! :)

On a daily basis. I wish I could tell her to enjoy life more and not be so self-conscious and insecure, because in the long run, it doesn't matter. I wish I could tell her to live her life more freely, because, in the future, she won't know the people she is afraid of being mocked by in the 6th grade. I wish I could tell her to respect her parents more.
You're a sweetheart. I've turned into an optimist (somehow) in the past few years - things will work out

Yea... in third grade I was so focused on being the smartest kid in elementary school that I was being a little show-offy to everyone else. Therefore, I didn't have any friends. I thought that popularity was only second to intelligence. if I could, I would travel back in time and tell myself just how wrong that is.

aren't you special - get over it - 61/2 billion people in the world and half of them are the opposite sex - wallowing in guilt and obsessing over the one that got away won't hook you up with the next one. if anything it'll act to prevent a next one and certainly hold you back from taking a chance on yourself. Forgive yourself and take a chance on the new you. You might be surprised with how many people like you.

Of course that crosses everyones mind from time to time however, I feel to everything there is a purpose and the older I get I know this is the road I was to follow that is why I was lead here.

That's why we have children, and we tell them what's really important. Every generation is a little bit better than the one before, if they listen and learn from their parents. It's the circle of life.

I've wished that at times in my life when I am sad about something but then I just think of my daughter and remind myself how lucky I am.
