If you could go back 7 years

[Purrde Flower]

What would you do different? Or wold you keep everything the same?.. and why.

I would not change a thing. I have met some really wonderful people and have some awesome things happen to me in the last 7 years. I know I could (if I could go back) change many things to make my life better NOW but I wouldn't have my kids and I wouldn't know the people I do now.

 

[lovetoread]

Seven years ago I should have stood up for myself.

 

[SweetCherry]

I don't think I'd change a thing. Were I ro do that, I'd not be the person I am today, nor would I be blessed with either of my 2 wonderful children. Everything in our lives happens for a reason. We just don't always know what it is at that time.

Never would have married...again....would leave the relationship to grow or fail on it's own..I messed up

 

[unclej]

i made some major changes in my life 12 years ago. i move from dallas here to south texas 10 years ago and i've been enjoying my life tremendously for most of that time. i can't think of a thing i'd do differently.

Look forward

Pay attention to the things/people that REALLY matter. Enjoy each day and don't take it for granted. Grow.

I would have sought out more friends to endure the next seven years. I had a long dry spell with the same old group, that got more boring as time passed!

Maybe it was me that was getting boring, but without seeking any new relationships, it is hard to tell. Found some new ones recently and it seems my life has picked up for the better.

If you mean physically go back 7 years, I'd do it and take along that sports almanac just like Biff from Back To The Future.

If you mean metaphysically, I'd have made sure I didn't get stuck working retail *after* I got my college degree. And I would have smacked my mother just once so she would have had a real reason to walk out on her family.

 

[Bob_Bytchin]

Sounds tempting, but no, I wouldn't change anything. Everyone makes mistakes, but we shouldn't dwell on them.

That's very nice to hear. 'Morning BK. Like the new sig line..... have you thought about adding something like: "Choice USDA Approved" (in purple of course)?

 

[Soblue]

7 years ago my daughter was born! I had one older child at the time, and I didn't think I would have any more children, so 7 years ago was one of the happiest times of my life, I wouldn't change it at all

 

[Andreina]

I was 15 then and finally found a school helped me to develop my skills further. As far as I can remember I was a happy bunny then.

I'll try that. thanks. How are you this morning?

 

[Ice Cold]

Would have made a few relationship changes and job choices, but then again whose to say the past seven years hasn't been guiding me to something better for the next seven.

 

[Olivianna]

Woudn't have done all that LSD.

 

[ExLimey]

I'd just moved here seven years ago. As for that, I wouldn't change a thing. The things I would change involve opportunities not taken (a few women who may have been interested that I for whatever reason didn't believe or just plain didn't see at the time)

 

[sch00lteacher]

I'd fight tooth and nail not to go back seven years. I didn't like how things were going then, and I couldn't do much to change my situation.

What made you pick seven years for anyhow Purrde Flower? That is kind of an odd number...

 

[p_p_man]

Seven years ago was the beginning...

of the most traumatic period of my life. Going back wouldn't help because I still can't pinpoint the thing that contributed a 7 year bad luck period (well four years really) because I'm through it now and the last 3 years have been excellent.

A number of things put there penny's worth in I suppose. But that was yesteryear...

Forgotten...

[peachykeen]

I don't think I would change anything. Maybe have encouraged Mom not to wait so damn long befroe getting a mammogram, but that's about it. I'm pretty lucky, I've got a good life, and even the hardships have taught me valuable lessons, so I'm content to leave it be.

Well, I do have ONE thought...!

I just remembered; seven years ago, I almost dated two guys at the same time. One was a college boy, two years younger than me and a bit of a romantic (flowers and candy - just because). The other was five years older, an erotic artist, Prince fan, suave dresser and REEKING with sexual confidence! (In other words, your mom's worst nightmare!)

I was such a "Pollyanna" back then, I chose to go out with "college boy", who later turned out to be a "mama's boy". After meeting his mother, he broke up with me a week later! And as for the "Erotic Artist", somehow, we kept in touch and became the best of friends, bitching about each other's SO's and dreaming about our career changes...

Holy shit! Seven years ago, I found a best friend!

And I was thinking about changing THAT?! NEVER AGAIN!

 

[Violette]

Hey! What happened?

Oh my GOD! I've become a thread-killer! Oh the shame!

 

[RastaPope]

I'd need 5. Only 5.

 

[islandman]

There's so much I would do differently. So much pain I could have avoided. So many more things I could have done.



Regret.........it's a six-letter word.

 

[patient1]

I wouldn't want to . I might make worse mistakes. But iF I' had to go back...

I'd probably make a killing on the stock market, Use that leverage to improve airline security. That's just me.
