sartre 0 #1 August 10, 2006 What would you change? I've always thought, "I wouldn't change a thing, because everything I've been through has made me who I am today." But now I look back and realize, there are some things I would change if I could. For example, in my early twenties, I went out dancing with my friends nearly every night. I ate out for nearly every meal. My refrigerator usually had very little in it. And though it was only myself, I felt guilty for going out so much and for not cooking more meals at home. Why?!! I wish I would have just spent less time feeling guilty about stupid things. What would you do over? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #4 August 10, 2006 I am where I am and who I am because of the things that I've done/experienced in my life... occasionally that includes bad things... but generally my life is ok... I don't want any do-overs... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leroydb 0 #5 August 10, 2006 its probally so clique' to say... but I don't think I would change anything. Everything I have done and have went through has developed and shaped me into the person that I am today. Good and bad I am happy with who I am.Leroy ..I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw my bath toys were a toaster and a radio... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewels 0 #6 August 10, 2006 I want a mulligan on some of the clothes I've purchased over the years. Just THINK of all the tunnel time and jumping that would've gotten me! Besides, there were all those clothes from the 80s that you just don't need. I mean, really--leg warmers??!! On the whole, though, it has been good. There are a few little choices along the way that I would've made differently, but no major disasters to rectify. Maybe my best do-overs are yet to come!

PLFXpert 0 #7 August 10, 2006 I'm 26, but I've realized exactly that recently.... I still LOVE my clothes, my shoes, my bags, and I never spent money I didn't have or more than I put into retirement... But....I've come to the conclusion that despite the wonderous variety in my closet, I still wear the same jeans everyday.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

sartre 0 #9 August 10, 2006 While that is in general a nice sentiment, and I agree, there are still specific things that I wish I could change. Things I don't think added anything of value to the person I am today. Would I skip the pain, the disappointment, the highs and lows? No way. But if given the chance, I might choose to have been a little nicer to myself along the way. I would have given up perfectionism a lot sooner. And I would have really enjoyed my carefree lifestyle, knowing I had my whole life ahead of me to do the "responsible things". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
