Ever think you would do things differently if you had a second chance? I mean really think? Our experiences make us who we are. Still, I wouldn't mind knowing which opportunities I should have taken, which people I should have avoided. When I thought about it, I still couldn't decide between #2 and #4. Interested in your opinion.

Our life experiences do make us who we are today. I am happy with where I am at in life.Don't think I would like to go back and change anything but do look forward to the future.wave

There are a few things I'd change, but the decisions I made when I was young were good decisions, all things considered. Even if I could avoid the bad people I met, I'm sure that in a different life, I'd have met different bad ones. Can't avoid them, either way.

So different but - better? I might accidentally change some good stuff along with some bad, if I knew. But it would be nice knowing which shares to buy!

If I could go back and keep my memories I'd go back to about 14.

I've no desire to be that age again, or re-experience high school but I would like another shot to do it to the best of my ability and see what college I could get into.

Even some decisions that I thought were bad at the time turned out to be right - but yup, stuff happens.

Can you imagine sitting there in class trying to keep a straight face at some of the stuff you were told was vitally important? laugh

If I jumped back to my favourite age I would like my current memory intact as I know the moment I changed anything my life would take a different path subsequently all that I have experienced on this path would be just a memory..... And some of these memories have been FANTASTIC!

I never like to get so sure of myself that I'm in controll because sometimes things happen outside of it that we cannot as things can change so unexpectedly so as long as I'm consciensly aware of what I'm doing today but sometimes we can act out what is going on in our sub conscience ..wine

Wow, some really insightful responses, and interesting that no-one, so far, has chosen to start over without memories in any form. I rather like that. hug

I was very fortunate, my childhood was just the best. I don't think adulthood is all its cracked up to be, to be frank.

Though, to be fair, I wouldn't want to be a child or teenage, or early twenties now. I am happy with the age I am at present....

No sense in fantasizing for me since I can' t travel back in time. It' s best for me to deal with life today. Do my best today that' s it.

Let' s say for a second though that I could. It may be interesting to have the gift of foresight, but it could also be very boring. Knowing what' s going to happen, knowing what' s around every corner. There wouldn' t be any surprises and what would life be without surprises and challenges. Without challenges, I wouldn' t have the opportunity to grow.

So to finish, here' s to the future.wine

Someone said in the posts that our life's experiences made us who we are today. I agree with that 100%.

I made the biggest mistake of my life when I was 63.

If I could go back to February 2005 my life would be very different today.

My teens were the best days of my life.

Carefree.

Life, at present, is challenging due to circumstances beyond my control.

...though things are looking rosier just recently, thankfully, and looking forward to whatever tomorrow brings.

Everything I am today is a consequence of my decisions when I was younger.
I would never jeopardize what I've become or all the experiences I've had so far, nor the people I've met on the way. I may have done things that,at the time seemed to be wrong or just plain stupid, but because of them I am what I am and I would not change that.
