There are many instances where we think that we want to change what happened in our past.. I too, have felt that in a way.. And if you are to be given an opportunity to go back to time to change anything, what would be the thing that you would change? Or you would just turn down the offer?

If I had a brain there would have been many things I would change lol and I wish I could have been so much wiser in my decision making and I think a part of me would take up the offer but on the other hand I would have not met the lovely man I am married to now who cares about me and my feelings and is the first man in my life..other than my father and son ofcourse that has treated me with such kindness and respect. So yes and no..a part of me would but another would turn it down. This is always a difficult question lol..A wise person would turn it down flat..but then again I am not so wise like others lol.

I agree, we think that if we change things.. Those that we have right now wouldn't be here with us.. hehe Don't say that, I know you're wise because you're really thinking about things, I admired that.. This is reality and seeing things in this way would really make us think of the offer, but for you being wise that makes you think of those you have right now that you can't afford to lose.. :)

I'm sorry with what happened, I'm sure every one of us might experienced something bad during junior middle school. I too have bad experiences that I might want to change but I just don't want to because I'm happy the way I am now.. I do hope you're doing ok now and I do understand how you feel with those things.. It usually does happened in any school we might go to..

There are so many things I would love to be able to change. So many mistakes I wouldn't make, so many opportunities I wouldn't lose, so many things I should have said and didn't say. However, turning back the clock would probably not achieve much really, as I feel I had to live though the past in order to look forward to the future. I would say no.

If I could go back to an earlier point in my life I would correct some bad habits. I woudl get myself hooked on exercise regularly. That way I wouldn't be the size I am and have High Blood Pressure. So many things have been more difficult because i have been heavy. I need to do something about it, but I just haven't been able to stick to a plan. Right now I tip the scale at 390. if i could get back under 300 it woudl be a miracle and I probably wouldn't be on Blood Pressure meds. Say a prayer for me folks that I can find the will to make the changes I need to and drop the weight.

I would probably do the same as you, get a lot of exercise and lessen the fats in my body.. I'm sorry for what you're feeling, I guess you need dedication in order to achieve that weight, but it's not impossible also.. Try to believe in yourself that you can do it and preferably have someone help you out with it, I guess someone that can check if you're following your plans or not.. Don't worry I'll be praying for you as well.. :)

I would make sure that father becomes a millionaire so that I would be sitting somewhere on the Caribbean islands instead of sitting here in front of this monitor responding to this discussion.
Anyway, I am just kidding. I don't think that I want to go back and change anything. Just let it be!

its ok
i think even if i change that things i would be knowing that first i made a mistake and now i have changed the mistake as if i am trying to give a reason for it so i am not at all intrested in doing any thing like that

Well, you got a good point there.. :)It might actually depend on the impacts of those things that would make us say that way.. If we are better people today then it would be a result of what we did before, whether good or bad so it would be really up to us what we want to do.. Thanks

if only i could turn back time? i better choose the way i studied when i was in college,maybe if i put my study before my bf or above anything else.... i have a more better grades i think, actually i'm not that satisfied of what i've got... i hope i really did listen to my parents during that time..... they're right... and it's true that having feeling of guilt is too late..

If i'm given that kind of opportunity which is to to turn back the hands of time I will go back to my study habits when i was tyill in college.Im an information tech graduate and during mg college years I can say that im an easy go lucky student.I just study is i feel like studying or if there is exams.If dont like the discussions or feel bored i dont pay attention to the what the teacher is discussing.Though I got passing grades I can can say that if I focused well perhaps i got better grades that what i get or perhaps I'm working now abroad as a web designer. If i've done that i will not push my self to study a short course anymore.Now im plannning that cause for me I have a very limited knowledge to compete to some other expert web designer.That's my regrets but somehow Im thankful cause atleast I have a nice job now.:)

I treasure every memory from my past...but if I could turn back the hands of time, I'd like to undo a few things. I wish I could tell the people I've lost that I love them before they went away. I wish I could have changed my study habits in high school and college. I also wish I've been more open and assertive during those times of need. I wish I could have been wiser when dealing with my relationships with others.
