My only regret is for the people I have hurt in my life time. If I could, I would undo those actions. But, even given that scenario, I would not change my life. I as well as other people, have been used, abused, and/or harmed in one way or another. Yet, I would still keep my life the way it has evolved. It has made me who I am today. I am perfect by no means, but I now strive to do the best that I can. The most important reason for not wanting to change much of anything, even with all of the pain involved, is that if I were to tamper with fate, I would not have met my current wife, and I would have missed out on the most beautiful experience of raising my children, as they wouldn't exist had I changed anything.

no, I don't ....it would cause the Butterfly Effect, nothing in my life, those surrounding my life would be the same. Perhaps I have made serious mistakes, but then, we all have...but in the long run, we have learned from them, we have survived, and we are where we are at for whatever reason. Would I change anything at all? NO, NO, NO...I could wake up not knowing anyone, nothing being the same...hell, I could be dead for all I know, or others in my life could be dead. NO Way. I am where I am at because of MY actions, not others. I don't waste time thinking, "if I had only....." for I can't. The only thing I vowed years ago was that I would not be on my death bed wishing I had done ..... , and so far, I have at least lived up to that. Love and peace to you, Phil (Goldwing)

There is nothing I would change. Today I am a happy and contented man. I am the sum total of all I have lived. Both the things that came wrapped in glittering paper and those that came straight out of the dumpster wrapped in old newspaper. In retrospect the trash taught me more than the glitter gifts did. The ancient Greeks had a saying, "The gods give men what they want to punish them." I think I understand what they meant.

Initially, every time I see a similar question, I think I would not have married when I was 20; I would have waited. Yet that experience and every other single teaching-moment experience in my life has made me who I am today. I've learned from mistakes, have grown from experiences, have developed myself and am ever-changing, always learning something and growing. So, from now on, that's how I'll view it. Even getting married at 20 and sticking it out for 18 years is part of why I am who I am today.

I would be more tolerant. I would soften the criticism. I would have appreciated youth more had I know that it really would leave.
I would be less foolish about men and remember that I am the prize. Perhaps I would have saved more for retirement.
I would chose my same profession, nursing. I would have my children. I would have married both my husbands. I would have done all the travel I have done. I would have taken the breaks in work that I have to smell the roses, regroup and refresh myself. I would have explored spirituality and religion as I have done. I would continue to not place all my respect and work on accumulating money. I would have and do explore different thinking and cultures other than my own.

There are things I sometimes wish I had or had not done. To change anything though may mean I'd miss out on being with those I love or on being where I am now in life. So I'll leave things as they were/are.

Any version of "All i prefer For Christmas is My 2 front tooth" the place a grown guy tries to sound like slightly boy. Ditto with "i'm Gettin' Nothin' For Christmas." this is like nails on a chalkboard. ***extra: Oh, and an identical is genuine for "I observed Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." fairly plenty each time an grownup impacts a cutesy kiddie voice, i'll get annoyed.

Since I didn't find the happiness I thought was in my future for
the road I chose to travel, then I would choose the other road
and hope for the best. I tended to react on impulse instead
of thinking things over and weighing the odds. Perhaps had I
thought things over more carefully, I would not have made the
choices I did in life.

After reading the romance novel by Jude Devereux, called Summer Cottage [or something like that], where three female friends went into the past, and two out of three changed their lives... I'd still say, hmmm....
Yes. That is, only if I could know what I know now.

No, I never think or wish that.I like who I am and the life I have lived. The mistakes and decisions good or bad that I have made in my life Has made me who I am today and in turn it has made my children and grandchildren who they are and I have one hella a great family. So, I would not fill in the blank. I would not change a thing....
