I have thought about this. There are so many things i would like to do differently but then i realize that i am trapped. I have a loving beautiful son who loves me to pieces. If i changed any piece of my past i would in all likely hood lose him to circumstances arising from a different life path. This i could not bare so.....I take the good with the bad and pray for the future. I am sorry if i didnt answer your question the way you would have liked. Peace to you.

While things have not always been perfect, and there are a few things that I wish hadn't occurred, I wouldn't go back to 'fix' them. Each decision made has a lasting consequence that we may not realize at the moment of decision. In fact, those consequences may not become apparent for years. Had I married a first love, the child I have now wouldn't exist, and the world would have been a much drearier place. Each action sets up a whole series of events that lead us to where and who we are. I wouldn't have the dear friends I have now, I wouldn't have had the career I had...I would have been somebody different and I'm not sure that "somebody" would have been any better.
So...I'll take the "bad" that happened in order to preserve the "good" that also happened along the way.

Well im 13, so not much really, but I live with no regrets-take risks-all that stuff, because if something happened that you would love to change...remember, that if that hadn't happened, then other things that happened after wouldn't have been lived. You would've had laughs, and great times since etc. and you never know, you could be lucky, might have been run over the next day had you not done something! x Gg x digressing slightly!-[[ I believe all things happen for a reason. So many times have my friends & family been let off for things they shouldn't have. I know people who should be dead now! ]]

There are reasons things are the way they are. If you went back in time, those things would change for the worse. If we changed all of our mistakes, we would make worse ones and never learn from them. I wouldn't want to change anything I've done so far.

I would have gone to university 5 years ago instead of being landed in the job that I'm in now. I had a place at uni but I then declined the offfer got a job and am still in it 5 years later. I would have been doing my Masters by now. :(
Nevermind, I'm in part time study through the Open University at the moment and I'm loving every minute of it! I'm going to change my job soon too, I'm excited and nervous.

I wouldn't because I am the person I am now if I hadn't made bad choices in the past........you learn by experience.
There is one thing I regret every day that I wish I could change but I wouldn't say on here what it is

No. I am grateful for all the experiences I have had, good or bad, which have helped shape my present. I am very grateful for the life I have right now. The decisions I make in my present will shape my future. This is where my power lies. In the now.

Despite the fact that I screwed up a lot as a kid and had a lot of real bad times - if I had it to do over I would not have changed one second of it!
Had the Time of my Life!
It was a fantastic Trip and I would really like to go it all over again!!!!!!!!!!
BSc, LLB, JD degrees!
VIVA LA PURA VIDA!!!

No I'm too laid back to bother, besides I have had a very enjoyable life, I have never lost my freedom, earned a living wage and married my one and only.
