If I could turn back time

We have so many things in life that we have screwed up, or think we screwed up, or WISH we screwed up. Relationships, kids, school, drugs, work. Life is full of lessons learned, but what's that ONE thing, big or little, that you wish you could do over again?
I wouldn't have dropped out of college, scratch that, I wouldn't have chosen drugs over college. Thankfully I've been sober for nearly 11 years, but I never did get my degree...

      Threre are alot of places I would like to go back and revisit. I would like to go back to a time when my husband was holding me in his arms and telling me how much he loved me.... Gosh there are some days I miss him so so much.

    I don't know that I could answer that... I am who I am because of the experiences I have had. I don't know that I would want to second guess the path that I have traveled. I think life brings the experiences we need rather than those we might choose...

      I would only go back in time if I could recollect the reason why I wanted to go back. I would probably make the same mistakes again otherwise. I would go back to being 12 years old, before I was a stubborn, boycrazy, partying, teenager. I was so on top of my class etc. when I was young. I had a lot of potential. I'm now looking back on my life, and lamenting some of the decisions I've made, and seeing where my choices have gotten me. I'm 34, and already in mid-life crisis lol.

    I'd probably not have spent a third of my life living with an abusive woman who left me for a 17 year old guy. Yeah, that takes the cake for me. Everything else was no biggie.

    I wanna go back to that time wherein I still was a kid, unaware of the sad realities and painful tricks of this world...
    I wanna go back to those days in which I could sleep so tight without having worries of what's gonna happen when I wake up the next day...

      If I could, I wouldn`t.

      The best music in the world, according to Fionn, is "the music of waht happens."

      Though perhaps one has to be fit to be a member of Fionn`s men, that is, to be a hero, to be able to see that!

      Best of all is to live well now, as honestly and as fully and as honorably as one can, and not to be too haunted by the past.

    i really dont have any regrets about my life-all of it makes me who i am.
    however if i could turn back time i would be more expressive to people who are no longer in my life, you know let them know how much they meant to me

    If I could only go back to when my relationship was going perfect before I screwed it up on January 2, 2009 at 1:00pm...What I wouldn't give to go back and change that damn conversation I had with him.

      I am curious as to what one conversation could do that would cause such irreversible damage...

        I went off on him and I said things I shouldn't of said....believe me in a normal world you would just say "hey forget about that conversation and the shit I said" ok? other person would prob agree....but in my freaken world I had to land a analytical man who remembers all the details of everything....so yeah

    Toughy, that question!
    I would have presued a relationship with a friend 20 years ago.....he wanted too, but i was too chicken.
    I thought we might lose the friendship if we did that.
    Looking back in hindsight, i don't think we would have; even if it did not work out in the end.

    Last i heard, he's happily married with a family. I'm still ......waiting, to see what The Universe has to offer me.

    There are a couple other things, that are important things in my life, but that 1 is a biggie for me.....

    Blessings, Teresa

    I would have started to learn to deal with my own brand of apathy (and frankly, my slight superiority complex) back in highschool when it was socially acceptable to be a lackadaisical, unmotivated slacker.

    Oh god, there's so many details that I would change. But directing myself would definitely be a big one.

    I would change nothing because everything i have done, everyone i have met , all the places i have been... have me right here where i should be....
    .to erase one thng would change all things.
    My thought anyway.
    Congrats on the sober, life is really pretty cool ,especially when seen through your own eyes!
    Namaste'
