You can still start over now! Its never too late. Not sure if you have anyone in your life now but you can still have everything you wanted

For me it would be not paying any mind to some of the dumb women I dated and steering straight for my wife with out any barriers or distractions.

Its never too late. You can still start over and have everything you want. Not sure if you have someone in your life but you should have no trouble finding someone to start over with.

Lisa B. in high school.Girl had a major crush on me and really made it be known yet I being unbelievable shy and naive I blew it sooooo bad with her.She was built like I like em to,they use to call her "chester".

In my 20's I burned a few bridges also not by being shy but by being a complete dick sometimes.

Man if I had a time machine I'd go back and grab my skinny young self and slap some sense into meI'd also leave a note to myself to stay home on July 4th 1992 to avoid meeting the heartbreak that would leave a ever lasting impression on me although then again part of life is dealing with the blows also right? so maybe I'd just let fate go it's business.

I would have never married my ex-husband.

We got married too soon and we had absolutely nothing in common. Plus out of the 12 months and 1 day we were "officially married "we saw each other 3 times due to both of us being in different branches of the Military ( Me - Army , Him - Navy ).

I would have studied abroad, taken advantage of intern opportunities, and done a major that was more suited to what I want to do with my life.

Instead, I have a college experience filled with beer bong records and dance parties. Sometimes I wouldn't change a thing

My first love dumped me and told me things had gotten "dead". It took me years to realize that I should have communicated with her every single time I was with her, should have not taken her for granted, and should not have discouraged her from becoming a Flight Attendant. I thought I was mature and cool, but I wasn't. I was an idiot.

There are several things but I try to look forward, not back.

First, I wish I had realized my dad only had weeks left to live when diagnosed with cancer.

Secondly, I wish I had gone backpacking around Europe with my girlfriend rather than flying to England to meet my husband. But then I guess I wouldn't have two wonderful babies, so..

The list goes on and on, but dwelling on the past too much, makes it pretty hard to look at the future with much optimism don't you think?

Quite true. I reflect on the past, realizing that is what it makes me today. Meaning I have learned from mistakes and choices. Its is what has got me to where I am at now.
