Do you have a time in your life you wish you could go back too.....

[Krisu]

I agree things happen for a reason. But I still would want to go back to high school and study harder

I think that may be the one thing I would have changed. In stead of being a screw up in high school, I should have "applied myself", like they all kept telling me and then gone on to college. Then again, I might not have met my DH and I might not have had my sons. So maybe things do happen for a reason.

I would have never taken the job I have right now. I'm literally in the middle of a nightmare and I'm having a lot of trouble getting back out of it.

But everything else I can live with I think.

I would go back to the day I was born and change the way I did everything.

 

[bambii]

to Sept. 10, 2001. And try and find someone who would listen... That day I think will always make me cry.

 

[epcotfan]

Yup. I would go back and change many things. I've made too many mistakes and not taken enough opportunities.

I guess we all have dreams of changing our past. Lifes experiences are the thing that mold us into who we are.

I like the person I've become(maybe others don't but I do) I'm at a stage in my life where my children are grown, educated, married and self-supporting. I have 4 beautiful grandchildren who bring so much happiness into my life.

Without changing anything, I do wish I still had some youth left. There are days when I feel my age and more. It's a hard climb up that mountain of life sometimes, but OH! the decent is rapid and fast.

I can't believe I am reading this post as I have been thinking alot about this lately! GMTA! I really wish I would have made a different choice in my life about 15 years ago. I had a wonderful opportunity and blew it. Now, (maybe because I turned 40 last year and am having a midlife crisis ) I really have myself in a funk about it. I know you can't change the past, but I don't know what to do about the future.

hmmm... I guess if I could I would go back to April of 2000. That is the month before I got sick. I know there is nothing I could do to change the fact that I was going to have this disease but I could have lived that month doing all the things I can't do now. Plus I would love to experience a day without pain again.

I often wonder -- if I'd known how it would turn out, would I have married my ex husband anyhow? but then, if I didn't marry him, I wouldn't have my dd's. would I have married someone else? would I have terrific children? I guess it's a good thing we can't change the past.

that -- more than a vacation I didn't take or an event that was cancelled without my input -- is a much deeper question.

I would change a lot! I remember my dad saying there was only one thing he would have changed about his life...he would have worked less than he did! One of the things I would change would be to have gone to college right after high school. That's probably the biggest thing.

 

[Mackey Mouse]

I don't think there is anything I would want to change in myself personally...Life is very good... wonderful children, great husband.. but I guess if I had one thing that I could change it would be to have more time with my parents... if I knew in hindsight that they were to die young, I would been there more... I was there a lot.. but somehow more..so maybe if I could go back I would go back to the years when I lived at home and was their child and just be there more, spend more time with them, do more things with them...

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

that's an interesting point, Mackey Mouse.

my ex husband's mother was estranged from her two brothers for many years, but reconciled with them when she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I heard all three of them express regret over the estrangement and wish they could undo it.

 

[iluvdisney]

Good one glo - yes and no for my answer - I would not want to give up being a mom. And I don't know if I would have met the many DIS friends I have.

 

[Saffron]

I can't think of a specific time period or event that I would like to go back to, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have had at least 2 children.

April, 1981 to March, 1988. I'd like to take a pair of scissors and cut that piece right out of my life. But I can't so I just don't think about it very often.
