If You Could Turn Back Time, What Would You Do Differently?

apretty · 07-09-2010, 08:40 PM

I'd take back those words that hurt you; If could reach the stars I'd give them all to you then you'd love me, love me! Like you used to do.

no cher?!

Oh gosh if I could turn back the hands of time I would do several things diffrently.One I wouldnt have gottem married at 18..I almost walked out of the church when mom caught me and said....I spent all this money,u arent walking out on this..I should have kept on walking.Big mistake.
Corse I would have come out way sooner than I did...famos words of many.
I also would have been more chosey who I dated,but I learned many things about life from it.

lyric · 07-09-2010, 09:39 PM

Oh, so many things...

I would have studied more in high school. I also would not have sacrificed one entire semester in college in favor of the party scene. One semester of nothing but drunken fuckery was not worth the 5 F's on my transcript and is causing me stress as I apply for a new job and work on a change in grad school plans.

I wouldn't have gotten married right after college. We thought it was a great idea because we were both gay, and we were both two kids from the country too scared of disappointing our families. Bad idea!

I wouldn't have wasted so many years worrying about my father's opinion.

I would have told my grandfather how much he meant to me before he died.

I would not have eaten those shrimp at the chinese buffet. :/

Strappie · 07-09-2010, 09:43 PM

I would not of let my partner cheat on me 4 times and gave up 12 yrs of my life. But I guess I did learn from it. Once a cheater always a cheater.

Oh yeah... THAT too! LOL

Btw... Strappiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Spirit Dancer · 07-09-2010, 10:27 PM

I would never take one minute of life for granted.

Soft*Silver · 07-09-2010, 10:29 PM

I would not have given up my job and home in PA...both times

I would have talked more to my brother...it might have stopped him before he killed himself

I would have been kinder and more attentive to Mrs Rogers who lived downstairs from me and was in a wheelchair

I would have gone out to see my mom when she called me and asked me to, on the day she died

I would have gone on for my PhD in anthropology like I wanted to

Bella~Vita · 07-09-2010, 10:37 PM

I wish we could in a way turn back time. For me , I would have furthered my education and been more career orientated instead of looking for love. Geesh how dishearting , but my lessons were learn. However, all the lifes experiences made me a better woman. And I thank God for that. For showing me I had love all the time ...

Kenna · 08-20-2010, 09:56 PM

During a crisis I faced in 2001/early 2002...I wouldn't have put "it" back in "it's" place. Things would have been much better for many people had I handled that crisis in a different way and not shut down emotionally or allowed myself to get completely and utterly overwhelmed.

Blade · 08-21-2010, 12:14 PM

wouldn't have married and idiot. oh wait that's right I wouldn't have married at all, STUPID ME!

SuperFemme · 08-21-2010, 12:36 PM

i would do nothing differently.
except maybe that tragic pair of ditto jeans in 8th grade could have gone unpurchased...

Soft*Silver · 08-21-2010, 12:50 PM

I would have waited

Abigail Crabby · 08-21-2010, 01:30 PM

Nothing

Everything I've done, I've gleaned a valuable lesson from.

Life is a learning lesson - gotta learn to roll with the punches.

lipstixgal · 08-21-2010, 03:15 PM

Seriously I would have c come out earlier but I am here now so that is all that matters!

Blade · 08-21-2010, 08:21 PM

I would have accepted that interview with UPS 25 yrs ago and just taken my chances of being punished at my present job for missing inventory

DamonK · 08-21-2010, 08:24 PM

I've learned from everything.

I would have listened to my gut about my ex.
During a conversation, when I knew what was wanted, I would have done it.
I wouldn't have taken that first pill that sent me spiraling into the abyss.

Rook · 08-21-2010, 08:27 PM

I'd do a lot of things different, but most of all...
I'd probably smack myself with a bunch of red Flags, warn Myself to be a Lot more cautious with my heart, and friendships.
Now Me: "don't be so gullible" -slap-
Past Me: "Ok!"
Now Me: "Heart on sleeve, IX-NAY !!!" -slap-
Past Me: " I get it !!"
Now Me: "Slap slap slap"
Past Me:

Now Me: "Just making sure it sinks in...."

Soft*Silver · 08-21-2010, 11:15 PM

I would have run away instead of been thrown away
