If You Could Turn Back Time, What Would You Do Differently? - Page 9

*with the notion that change is good:

To have found such vigor for learning sooner in life would have been super! Who knows what doors may have opened, presuming they would have led to something "good", some degree of self actualization or invited insanity.

And a new beginning awaits...

...so it is quite possible that I may have ended up right here, where I am now, and I'd rather be no other place.

If I could do some of this mess over the one thing I would do is listen to wiser people,my life would havebeen so much better.

VintageFemme · 02-21-2013, 11:44 AM

Take my time. Slow down. It all goes too fast anyhow and hurrying things along, well you miss so much & you make too many quick mistakes. I probably wouldn't really change any one thing perse as I am an avid believer in the butterfly effect, but I would def take things much slower if I could have a do over.

TheMerryFairy · 02-21-2013, 12:13 PM

I would have been more careful in my decisions.

StrongButch · 04-25-2013, 10:40 PM

Not date women 20 to 30 years younger than me!

always2late · 04-25-2013, 10:45 PM

Finished college the first time I went (right out of high school)
Not married my son's father (but I probably would have had to find him and have a one-nighter just so I could still have my son

)
Come out MUCH sooner
Not wasted so much time and energy on those not worth the effort
Learned to play the cello
Realized my own worth much sooner

nhplowboi · 04-26-2013, 12:13 AM

Found my soon to be wife years ago, done some military time and called my mom way more often.

Blade · 04-26-2013, 07:57 PM

I would have stayed in college
I would have taken a bigger interest in computers back then
I would have spent a lot more time with people, who are gone now.
Funny how you think of all sorts of questions you wish you had ask them after they are gone.

Kenna · 04-26-2013, 09:50 PM

not leave Shenandoah valley ...I promised a very special person that as years went on, I'd be there to take care of her like she did me. I'd turn back time to get the past 14 years back...I'd never move away for the sake of chasing a paycheck. She was worth so much more.

Turtle · 04-26-2013, 11:35 PM

I would be a little older, do my homework and study a little more, and have gone to work for and dive with Jacques Cousteau.

But this has all worked out very nicely...

MysticOceansFL · 04-27-2013, 01:35 AM

I would have gone to college first and then entered the military.

GraffitiBoi · 04-27-2013, 04:22 AM

I would have torn down the wall before it was too late.

NerdieGirl · 04-27-2013, 07:05 AM

I would have stayed in college the first time. Or the second. Or the third.

SoSousMe · 04-27-2013, 07:16 AM

I couldn't have said it any better. These exact things happened to me in my last relationship. I would just add

~take time to get to know the next one (if there is even going to be a next one) before I jump headlong into a relationship.

Turtle · 04-27-2013, 08:09 AM

OR - to do it again, I would do my math and go into some sort of how our brains work kind of science...next time, as I said, this is very good.
