So, knowing what you know now, what would you do different in your past? How would it alter your present?

I would have come out alot sooner than I did (was in my 30s)
I would have been easier on my parents and kinder to them. We had our conflicts and I thought they were too hard on me. Now I know they probably needed to be! I would have had more than one child. I loved having an only child, but seeing how wonderful it is to have two grand daughters, I think I would have loved having two children!

this is a deep one...
i would have chosen a different family, although i am sure there is a reason for the one i got.... i would have found a way to come out earlier and live my truth before running head on into trouble, a few times i would have learned to accept my twisted self as an adult, and not tried to fix what i felt was broken i would have eaten a bite of the cake at my office birthday party yesterday..... |

With knowledge I have now, I'd choose a different degree. I'd know I wasn't doing the right thing. I'd be cruel to be kind. And I'd not let nasty people get close to me.

I'd stop eating meat products. Today I took a huge step toward eliminating meat from my diet.
I stopped loving bacon, today. I took all that expensive stuff out to the trash bin. I hope to be meat free before summer is over.

Yes, Martina, exactly.

If i was allowed the understanding I have today then I would have forgiven both of them sooner and easier.
Known the things that gave us trouble were just limits they personally had and was not about anyone else. I would have known how fast the years I had with my stepson would pass, and done more. Pushed more, talked more, we did a lot just him and I, but I would have done more. I would have taken myself more serious.

If I could change one thing it would be to stop second guessing myself and to listen to my intuition because I know the answers. I would also not let others pressure me into making decisions that were not in my best interest. I would also have explored my gifts, followed my dreams and lived life for me and not others. With that being said if I did things differently would that also make me a different person today?

Not a damn thing. I'm who I am because of my choices, whether wise or not.
However, if I could give advice to my younger self (or my daughter, who has heard this), it would be to not be afraid to make choices that feel right. You make the best decision you can with the information you have at that moment. I do wish I had taken my health less for granted, though. It's more difficult (not impossible) to change habits when you're at midlife.
