If you could live your life over.

If you could live your life over would you change anything??

Nope. Everything I've experience has made me into who I am and brought to where I am at this very moment. I could not imagine living my life any differently.

I would probably have toned done the 'socializing' at university in exchange for a better transcript.

Other than that I'm happy with the place I'm at and the things I've done.

Amen J, about the self confidence!

I would have never started smoking to lose weight. (Thought up that gem when I was 17)

I, too, would have finished college back in 1989 rather than finishing in 2006!

I agree with GlindaofOz,
even if at the time something happened I had wished for it to be different.Now when I look back, each and everything that happened was for the best because all those mistakes,funs and joys of my past made me who I am today.

What I go through today will help me in my future.

Hehe, I thought about that too but then I think that I would be dangerous with that knowledge.

It seems to me that in most movies where a character lives forever, or at least a really long time, that they turn out to be somewhat like a bum or homless person. I can't help but think that's how it would really turn out. I think you would just learn to live for the moment, and not realyl have many cares. After you chase your dreams, do everything you wanted to, have all the experiences you could ever want...then what?

I think back and realize now how many things I could have done differently,
And how my life could be totally different.. I have learned through lives exsperiences,
But to say I would not change a thing would be a lie.
Some things i regret and would do differently is the most simple things that would have not
changed my life but the moment in time.
I wish that when I was 8 yrs old and my Grama called me by my pet name and I told her
never call me that again Im a big girl now, and she never did and I still remember seeing the hurt look on her face, I wish I could go back and erase that comment.
I wish that when I had to do a school report I didn't make up stuff to make the story sound good. I made my mom sound bad and she read it and got her feelings hurt.
If I could go back to when my kids were babies I would have realised how fast they grow up and have played more held them more ect.
