If you could do it over??

[sculpturegirl]

I have had a really wonderful life overall. I would do some things differently, yeah, but hindsight is 20/20 huh? I had a wonderful childhood. My mother marvels at how perfect my world was as a child. She and my father are far from perfect, but they did everything for us and taught us so much. My brother and I were close growing up. Even though we were poor, until recently, we didn't notice much.

The biggest things I would have changed would have to be 1.) the way I cared for my health as a teen. I began starving myself at 14 and then had chronic sinus infections and was on antibiotics a lot, not to mention other meds. The meds totally obliterated my health and I have spent the past 10 years trying to recover. I didn't really know any better at the time, though.

Secondly, I would have avoided one toxic relationship in particular. Yeah, it made be a stronger person, but it also really damaged me. I do regret those decisions. I feel like it is almost taboo these days to have regret. I was a fool and I regret it. God could have found another way to build character in me rather than me disobeying Him.

Anyhow, I am very very blessed :o) Praise God!

Live life over again exactly the same?
No way!
Get to where I am now though?
Yes please!

I could be asked this tomorrow and I'd feel differently but I might have had things easier if I had waited to have kids. Very young to have had 2 before 20.

About 10 years ago, my life was derailed by something beyond my control. Were it not for a head-injury (no permanent damage), I'd probably be a mechanical engineer. As it stands now, I loathe most of what I'm actually qualified to do. Office assistant? Blegh... but at least it beats data entry or flipping burgers.

I'd warn myself to avoid that particular situation, but I'm not sure I'd make different personal choices.

I am glad that I really for the third and final time, really asked Christ into my life. Because I was baptized and THEN got saved.
When it should had been the other way around.
I wanted to make sure that I was saved and saved for good.
To really feel Christ into my heart and soul.

Id love to relive my childhood, but not life as a adult no way !

Big time....I would have taken education more seriously. I dropped out of school b/c I got pregnant. I love my daughter dearly. The year I got pregnant I recieved the Lord into my live. I wouldn't change a thing from that point on.

If you could live your life over, exactly has it happened without any changes, would you do it?

For me the answer is no way.

I had my lessons to learn and without them, I wouldn't be the same person I am today so I'd say -no. I was rather self centered when I was younger

I wouldnt change anything

 

[kellyc]

this question scares me!

 

[Dexx]

Would i do things differently? You bet. I make mistakes every day.

 

[HonorB]

I'd take the chance at the different life/ me. This one, though full...
... Ugh for so much of what's gotten me here (and so much of here.) I'd trade it for another shot.

 

[JPPT1974]

Not make the same mistakes as I did in my twenties
Which I am hoping not to make in my thirties
And beyond!

 

[bill'swife]

nope...I used to think I wanted to, but now...no way!!!

 

[onlooker]

Not saying I'm where I want to be in life, but the fear of changing something that would cause me to not have my wife and family, I'd do it all over again exactly the same way.

I don't think I'd change anything. I am happy with the road I've taken but obviously wish things would have worked out better.

I wish my parents wouldn't have gotten divorced. Much of my teenage years were difficult due to the aftermath of this occurring. I wish the jobs I had would have worked out better. I wish my parents (mom & stepfather) would have been a little more upfront about their financial situation. For the past ten years I feel like I've tried to help them but in reality maybe I overestimated the amount of help they needed because they did a poor job of communicating with me.

Theres a load I would change, I think I've spent too much recentlywishing I could change my past.

For me the answer is no way.

Except for a couple of little things I would not change a thing. I had a blast growing up

I can relate, thus the inspiration for starting this thread.

I would change a couple things if I could go back.
