is there anything you would change?

Sometimes I think that I would love to turn back the clock and change some of the decisions I've made...but then I wouldn't be who I am, or where I am right now.

There are some minor things that I would change, though. Little things. So, maybe they're not worth changing.

I haven't made it to the "big time", and I may never be rich...but I have LIVED my life, had a blast, and met a lot of great people over the years that I've been glad to call friends.

I have two beautiful sons that I have a great relationship with during their teenage years! laugh I have had at least one great love in my life...short though our time together ended up lasting.

I have had a lot of beautiful and deep experiences that have changed my life, and me, for the better as well. If I went back and changed other things, would I still have those? I doubt it.

Overall, I would say that I have no regrets, and that if I had it all to do over again, I'd do it all the same.

You?

It's one of those things that is fun to ponder - Or, in my case, not so fun to ponder. But the reality is, this is who I am. Stating the obvious, my past is what shaped who I am, and I'm not necessarily so sure I'd want to change that. Everything for a reason. tip hat

I have a few regrets, some big and some small ones too. But I guess I wouldn't want to go back unless I knew what I know already. Otherwise, what would be the pointdunno Because I would do the same thing all over. laugh

But I would never take back the things I've went through because thats whats made me into the person I am now. I believe every experience changes me a little and hopefully makes me a better person.

I would have listened to my father and stayed in school. It was sooooo much harder going back as an adult.

I don't have any regrets because even the bad stuff came with some good lessons...so no..there is nothing I would change...with the exception of two things...to be able to say goodbye to both my grandfather and my almost step-dad before they died...the only 2 regrets I have but also not things within my power!!!!!!!!

i can't say there aren't things i wouldn't like to have done differently looking back on them now, but if someone said "psssst hey amy there's a time machine here with your name on it, hop in go back and make your life different" i'd turn it down. i know that to change one teeny tiny insignificant thing, would end up changing all the major things in my life and no matter how hard it may have been or how low or even how wonderful it was at any time ..........i would have missed something vital and something important. i wouldn't have learned some of the lessons i needed to learn or i wouldn't have become the person that i am but most importantly i would probably have lost out on my boys and i would never do anything to risk losing out on that!

I've made many, many mistakes in my lifetime...yet, I'm NONE, ((with the exception of being imperfect)), of those you listed....Hhhmmmm...maybe something to ponder...

IMO..mistakes are just that, but as long as you learned something from them...Consider them just part of "Life's Lessons"...
