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

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.

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...

Guy · 08-21-2010, 12:39 PM

I would have said yes to the chocolate bread pudding!

Soft*Silver · 08-21-2010, 12:50 PM

I would have waited

Nothing

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

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

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
