If I knew then what I know now...... - Page 2

Lusciousblondefemme · 03-15-2010, 09:58 PM

I would have gone to see my grandparents everyday...
I would have turned to people and asked for help when i needed it .. instead of being stubborn
I would have followed my heart more ...
I would have never let her walk out of my life ...
I would know that i should go after her ....

Strappie · 03-15-2010, 10:14 PM

It would just be plain old... SCARY!!!

I would like to thank everyone who took the time to post in this thread. So much thoughtfulness, self truth and insight.

I suspect we all made the best choices we could each step of the way. And, perhaps, made different choices later when we had different life experiences. It's what life is....a cycle of learning, choosing, growing, learning, choosing, growing.

I know for me, the choices I have made in my 20's and 30's would not be suitable to the person I am now. But, sometimes if we look at the past, we understand the present and can better plan for the future.

Soft*Silver · 03-16-2010, 07:11 AM

my 26 year old daughter use to tell me she watched me as she was growing up, so she could know what to do and not do when she were my age. I was floored. You think they arent looking...but they are...

smart kid...

bigbutchmistie · 03-16-2010, 08:52 AM

I would listen to my gut

I would have spent more time with my mom

I wouldnt have gotten so frustrated with Mom all those times she told the same story twice or more.... Id give anything to hear them again

bigbutchmistie · 04-02-2010, 10:24 PM

I would have protected my heart more

Gemme · 04-02-2010, 10:27 PM

I would have started martial arts and self-defense courses at age 4.

Mister Bent · 04-02-2010, 10:36 PM

I would have listened more to my instincts, then let logic sort them out.

sweetcali · 04-03-2010, 01:02 AM

If I then what I know now I wouldn't change any of it. Except move out of the communist nation of the isle of cali when I had the chance.

Andrew, Jr. · 04-03-2010, 09:54 AM

I would have moved to Canada for my surgeries.

Gemme · 04-03-2010, 07:09 PM

I would have sent them on their merry ways much earlier than I did.

rlin · 05-24-2010, 04:10 PM

If I knew then what I know now I'd certainly have chosen a different career path

Andrew, Jr. · 05-24-2010, 04:23 PM

I would have listened more to my instincts;

I would have gotten a lap dog sooner than later;

I would have moved to Florida, and bought a boat.

Enchantress · 05-24-2010, 04:23 PM

If I knew then what I know now...

I wouldn't change a thing. Every moment and experience I have had has shaped me into the woman that I am today. The delightful and the bad.

Although I might not have sprayed my hair with Aqua Net in high school. Instead I would go straight for Aveda

Ms. Tabitha · 05-24-2010, 04:24 PM

There are things I would do different...but, if I did that, I would not be who I am today.

Mrs. Strutt · 05-25-2010, 07:10 AM

I would have not stayed for too many years in two previous relationships where I was unfulfilled and unhappy just because I didn't want to hurt the feelings of two good people.

Gemme · 05-25-2010, 10:21 AM

I would have zigged instead of zagged. ;blink:

princessbelle · 05-25-2010, 10:34 AM

My mistakes would have been passing thoughts, instead of actions. Wow wouldn't that have been nice.

Andrew, Jr. · 05-25-2010, 11:17 AM

I would have planted hostas instead of a Japanese Maple tree.
