What if....

[ghostwriter092]

Were all adults here. And here is my question for today. If you could go back, and if you could change one action that you know effected your life in a negitave way, would you do it? Would you tell that person that ruined years of your life to fuck off? Would you not change it and still go with the path you know lead down many nights arguing and hate sex?

Maybe a stupid thread. But tell me us your answer and why? Sorry for any grammer fuck alls. I just woke up and Im not wearing my glasses.

I would have taken the jump from wooden to mechanical pencils a lot sooner.

If I could keep other things equal (like meeting my husband, having my kids, etc.) I would have told my guidance counselor in high school that I was good at languages as opposed to math and science. I think that set me on a pretty "drifting" path in college.

I would have broken up sooner with the first guy I dated, as well as the second guy. My timing just isn't good.

Once you start making changes, where do you stop?

Yeah, there are several things i would love to change but.... Would it go any better? Would i still be the me I am now or would the new me be any better?

A lot more questions than answers.

The only thing I'd really change -- I would not have moved in with my crazy bitch of a girlfriend (ex-girlfriend now, thankfully). I don't really feel I learned any valuable lessons -- it was just years of my life wasted. I think I could have figured out "don't date crazy bitches" without losing all that time trying to extricate myself. Oh well. Life goes on and I couldn't be happier these days, so it all worked out.

I would have bought stock in Apple....

I have made so many mistakes in my life, I can't think of any one that would fix anything significant in my life.

Maybe I would have just started kung fu at an earlier age.

That cute waitress who was hitting on me all those years ago... I would have calculated her 5% tip BEFORE applying my half-off dinner coupon instead of after.

Pulling a fountain pen dribbling ink out of a pocket protector and doing long division on a napkin so does it for some women.

I still would have sent that stinging cable back to Headquarters Washington.

Why do jumper cables and an electric fence suddenly cross my mind.

Mine goes all the way back to the womb... I would have demanded a different gestational environment.

Yeah, if I knew than what I know now!

 

[RjThoughts]

I have notes for 2 stories with this premise. Now, if I were to change one thing, I would have taken some writing courses in college.

You should probably have looked up the usage of than vs. then...

Oh! God puts different prizes and games in every box of Cracker Jack; if you win the lottery you die of cancer next month or a dog rips your face off. Or! And this happened to a friend of mine, you get burned up in a fire (most of your ass is now your face), you marry a beautiful woman, make a million dollars, both your daughters go to West Point, and then you die young of a weird cancer.

 

[Safe_Bet]

YEAH!!!!!

We have a winner in the Egotistical Fuck Catagory of the "Who Can Write the World's Most Pompous Sentence?" contest!

Congratulations, champ! How's it feel to still be undefeated???

I believe everything happens as it was meant to, so I don't usually play this game, but I'll pick two.

One- quitting high school. I think I would change that. I was on the honor roll at Classical every quarter right up until I quit in junior year because I hated everyone and was getting in trouble and was tired of hearing everyone say "you have to stay in school!" so I quit. I really showed them.

Two- getting a hold of and breaking quite a few bones in the body of the animal that raped my sister. I did 18 months for that. That one I wouldn't change. He paid the price he deserved and after I got out I had finally gotten it through my head that I needed to make some changes in my life.

hmmmmm.......Mabbe!

Would have to be a toss-up though......between:

....NOT letting the ex back into the house after the SECOND breakup ( #2 of .....oh hell....I stopped counting at 11, there were soooo many and soooo regular! )

*OR*

....even maintaining ANY kind of friendship with the HS "boyfriend" after he told me he was getting married in 5 weeks....(after 4+ years of a very sexual relationship AND maybe all of 10 minutes after we had just had sex yet *AGAIN*)....and NOT because the chick was pregnant....but because he couldn't *BE* gay! :caning:
