If you could change anything in your life, what would it be?

[WhimsySA]

Here is your chance to tell everyone where you've messed up & how you would change it. :banana:

[rachel]

I would have changed the fact that I was so passive regarding being abused. If I had not permitted it(I did not in fact understand I was being abused-kind of the Truman syndrome)I would have walked thru more doors and tried more things that sadly I am just doing now.

[blondeatheart]

why bother

[rachel]

because you are unique and have so much to give, and perhaps if you saw some little thing that needed to be changed it would open a new door to you.

[Nightshade]

If I could change anything??
I would have been nicer to my sisters when we were younger so that they didnt hate me now.

[woeful painter]

Where I messed up? That would be right now...I wish I could change it back to where it was before...it's so hard being in my state now...I could have just kept all my thoughts to myself and let them die and never tell of them...that's the last time I'll have to remember of my fault...maybe next time I'll learn to just shut up and stay away....I wish I could just escape the current situation I'm in...what a troublesome kid I am...

[ShoutGrace]

.....

[tainaprincess]

The things I would change in my life would be that I would not have been so passive in my younger years, and even now I would change my shyness. I think that the above have contributed to people thinking that I think I am too good for others, and maybe I would have had at least one guy ask me out!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, now all I can do is change the now.

[kathycf]

I regret my bad temper and the trouble I have gotten myself into because of it. Even though I try to improve (and I have, a little) it is still one of my worst faults. I also wish I could wave a magic wand and make everyone happy, but all I can do is work on the things I can control.

[amanda_isabel]

i don't think i would change anything...

hmmm...

wait!

i would change my behavior towards my grades in the past two years. once a student at the top of the list during elementary, now im somewhere in the middle. i keep telling myself that i will do better this time but even those words are hollow. im just not taking it seriously... but i hope to do so as the new schoolyear begins.

there are some small things i would want to change but well... it doesn't matter now. although im realizing im glad i didn't change what i once wished i could, because if i did, well, i would be a completely different person. and i like who i am now!!!

[IrishCanadian]

theres not too much. I learned enough from my worste experiences that at this point I wouldn't want to have lost that horrid experience.
Perhaps theres a few actions that I would never have done, but nothing that would literally change my life as it is today. I don't think anyone is without their regrets, but they are a part of who I am.
I think the biggest changes I would make are more about how I might have affected others as apposed to how i affected me.

Here is your chance to tell everyone where you've messed up & how you would change it. :banana:

Supposing you could change it.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

My unbearable modesty. ;)

[Outlander]

If I could change anything,

I suppose that we should have found a better way to remove the sofa from the second floor.

The car would have been most apprecitave; everyone that witnessed the removal of it's new and unexpected passenger, would swear that we all heard it groan when the wood was pulled from the light.

Oops......Yes, that is what I would change.
I'd return to the day of the sofa, and not be afraid to carry it's weight.

Of course, ramming it with the car a few times didn't help.

- But it was fun. ;)

Me, my existance, my life.

[mono]

Though I admit I have made many mistakes in life, some of which have caused great harm and pain, but I can honestly say that I regret none of them. Though I feel skeptical of the existence of fate, I would like to think that everything happens for a reason, and the changing of even the smallest aspects of life may make an immense, unintended difference.
Regrets that one blames on one's self, I think, often involve something regarding an experience that one has yet to have learned, and I feel that one can learn more from negative experiences than positive experiences, though I do not usually adhere so closely to such a Stoic philosophy.
Surely, I could desire to change a few small things of my past, but neither seem experiences worth regretting.

[grace86]

Mono, I think you are right on your philosophy. Only through the negative experiences do we learn something about ourselves that we never knew. I also believe things happen for a reason, though undoubtedly, we can hate those reasons sometimes. There are things small and big I have not liked and thought I would like to have been different. But in the end, I did discover their purpose and what was to be learned. There is one thing in my life going on now I would love to have turned out different, it was my biggest secret. But though I am going through tons of torture, I am already learning from it. If you have a secret, at one point it will come out...and everything it entails will somehow get involved. But I think that when it is all over, I will not wish that I could change it for the world.

[Shield&Sword]

Perhaps this will look weird for you, but for my sosciety its not. Really i regret i didnt put Holy Quran in memory when i was little from 8 to 10 years, which will be easier on me because of the clean mind of youngs . Now i am trying to change what i missed, there is a Jews saying: "dont cry on milk that fall on earth".
The matter is: if we can change something then we must change it, if we cant then we must learn from it, in this way we wont waste anything.

[Riesa]

I deleted so many things/ I guess my ultimate opinion is that..I can't so... I won't...I live, I attempt to learn. not always with grace or style, but...but ugh. um, not all challenges are presented equal to the strength within... in some emptiness we see the fullness.;) and sometimes a sigh is but a sigh.

[motherhubbard]

I really love my life and the way things are so the things I would change are weird. About nine years ago I was upset with my husband and when he apologized and I said I didn’t care - I still feel bad.

[Domer121]

I guess I would wish that I was not as curious.......it has gotten me into such trouble!

[applepie]

I could say that I would change my life and chosen an easier path than the one I have, but the truth is I love my life. Even with the good and bad there isn't anything I would changec because with all the bad comes the perspective to see what is really great. My temper, maybe, but then I wouldn't be me any longer.

[Visionary3]

Me, my existance, my life.

You are still so young...there's plenty of time to take another path.

I would have gone to college instead of getting married. I wouldn't have spoiled my daughter as she has no respect for me. I would not have given up writing poetry and painting for 30 years just being a housewife and worker. I worked at things I loved...tutoring children but now that I'm retired I wish I'd have done something to have a better retirement income. Otherwise I love my life.

[Bakiryu]

Everything, mostly the way i look.

[Redzeppelin]

I'd have "waited" until I got married.
