Ever wish you had a do-over?
Wish you could hit the delete button, and it would change what happened next?
Would you change your choices or the things over which you had no control?

How far back would you have to go, to make that one change that would fix everything?
How old were you then?

There are things I regret. However, even those things have led to where I am right now. So I’m not sure I would change anything.

I used to think that my whole life has led me to where I am now.
But now I tend to think that many of those steps have greatly delayed the process of becoming.
Keep studying, keep growing... ...screech, crash, ambulance... ...keep studying while healing takes up a lot more time.

I wish I would have replaced emotions with rational thinking at a younger age. Religion caused me a lot of psychological problems... I have no problem with other people being religious... but I would have saved myself a lot of mental grief and probably a better adjusted person today if I became an atheist a few years earlier than I actually did.

I had a view atheistic thought when I was a kid, but never explored them to any great depth. Spirituality was just too enchanting at the time.

While I still have feelings of regret, I do not believe that I would change anything. Everything in my life was perfect the way it was, even when it didn't seem that way at the time.

Well since I know Christ who loved this world so much gave His only son so who ever believes in Him will have ever lasting life. No one else died for you cares for you. For after this life no matter what we think comes judgement. He loves you.. ask Him.

So as a believer I go by what is written. Yet looking back no I would not change anything. As a believer I do this.. "this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before".

I would change how I went through high school. Hanging with the right people instead of idiots. Kicking my school bullies backsides and making them feel how bad it feels to be bullied.

If you do it too, then the guy who did it first, will end up kinda thinking you're not really upset about bullies, in general...
but only when they're bullying you.
