IF....... YOUR LIFE
« on: June 23, 2009, 03:51:21 pm »
If you had to do it all over again, what would you do different with your life?

We've all made some mistakes in our lives....be it with the wrong partner or with our careers.

Sooooo...what is it?

I'd definately go back and be nicer to my parents.  Now that I am an adult and have a family of my own, I realize how little credit I gave them.  As a kid I thought they were horrible parents, but now I wish I could be the type of parent that they were to me.  I don't sit around and try to change the past though, the true way to show my gratitude is to work on my faults now and try to be more like them in the future.

there have been plenty of things in my life that have been fricken' disappointing. but i don't necessarily know that i would change them. making them better might change other things from good to bad.. you know?
i always thought i would be one of those kids who would go straight from high school to college, that i would love it and graduate with flying colors. and i ended up dropping out during my second semester because i hated it so much. i couldn't pick a major. and i still don't know what i'd like to do with myself and my life. it's a big weight to carry around.. to feel like you're running out of time to decide what you'd like to do for the rest of your life.
and as far as relationships go.. i've pretty much got a clean slate in front of me. and it does get discouraging. sometimes i feel downright miserable about it. and sometimes i feel like i'll never be good enough, or smart enough, or pretty enough for anyone.
but, i think that for some reason, that's just how it's supposed to be. i think god gives us what he wants us to have, when he wants us to have it. mistakes and disappointments are what make us. and if you can't learn to roll with the punches, you'll never get anywhere. life is complicated. and sometimes it sucks. i think you just have to learn to have faith. faith that things will turn out the way they're supposed to. that your life will turn out the way it's supposed to.
so, no, i don't think i'd want to do anything over again.
i don't think i'd want to change things.
the grass always appears greener on the other side. but nothing is ever perfect. nobody is ever perfect. you just have to deal with it. everybody has things that bother them or embarass them. things they're ashamed of, that they'd like to scratch away forever.. but that's what makes us who we are.


and, you know, i really could write you a BOOK next time.. couldn't i?
haha ;p

hm, Imma cut it short,
when I'm 7 or something, I'd learn how to dance, then learn to sing and play instruments,
and I'll try my best to make more friends in high school cause I noticed i was very anti-social back then

although i know i made a lot of mistakes, did things i shouldn't have, and didn't live up to my true potential, i really wouldn't change any of that. i strongly believe that all of those mistakes and bad decisions have made me the person i am today. i've learned and grown from all my experiences, good and bad, and to erase any of them would in turn erase something of me. and a few of those "mistakes" have actually led to things that turned out to be good for me, so by changing that, i'd be losing something good inmy life now. our past is there for us to learn from, not to dwell on things we cannot change.

I would have majored in something else in college.  I would have never have broken up with my first (and only) love.

I would have not had a child so young and did more with my education.  Having said that, I am happy in my life now, so changing those things may have put me in a different place now, and I don't know that I would welcome that.


Shoulda, coulda, woulda...just gotta move on! ;D

Honestly nothing. Everything that has happened up to this point has either made me better person or taught me life lessons. I will never be perfect so why start?

I've gone through a LOT of major bad things in my life, but I'd have to say I'd go back and change only one major day of my life. I'd leave my then-boyfriend when I wanted to. I'd have both my kids with me every day instead of having to visit one in the cemetery.  :(

I'd definitely try a lot harder to find a job after getting my degree 2 years ago.  I'm definitely trying to get back on the horse right now, and I feel very confident that big things are going to happen either before 2009 is over or during 2010.  You can't live life crying over spilled milk.  Sometimes you just have to stopping talking about it and be about it.  You can apply that philosophy to anything in life.  And always give everything to God.  Nobody can do anything on their own.
