Just a fun question...

If you could start your life over again, would you change anything or is everything the way you thought or like it to be?

Re: Just a fun question...

  • If I could do anything over I would have gone to school to be a teacher.  I think it is such a great job especially if you have kids.  You are home when they are home and home with them during the summer months when they are off.  Other than that I think everything is good the way it is!
  • Well I think my life turned out pretty amazing and I wouldn't be where I am without the path I took or met the people I have. But I do wish I would have gone to University instead of college so then I already had that done so I could now do a masters without having to go all the way back to the beginning. But oh well, I still feel really good about my life as it is. :-)
  • My life hasn't turned out the way I thought it would, or the way I was planning it to, BUT it's pretty amazing and I wouldn't change a thing.

    My current path spawned out of some decisions I made combined with some serendipitous surprises along the way. (For example, I changed my major when I ran into an old friend at the gym and he said, "You should switch to my class, it's fun!" And I got my current job, which I love, through a connection via a friend who happened to work in the same building, but for a different company, as me at my last job which I hated.)

    I'm also glad things didn't turn out exactly as I planned. I think this is way better :)

  • I wouldn't change anything because everything I did or went through got me to this exact moment in time.
  • I don't think I would change anything, like the pp said, everything that's happened has brought me to where I am today.

    I wonder every once in a while though how my life would have turned out if some major life things (i.e. parents getting divorced when I was a kid) hadn't happened. I wouldn't change it, but I am curious as to what life would have looked like if that hadn't happened, KWIM?

  • I think I probably would have gone into medicine.

    When I was in high school, I thought 8 years was way too long to be in school. But I'd be done already if I had done it.

    Although if I had gone into medicine I would have never met DH whom I love SOOOO much!!!!!!!!!

  • I wouldn't change a thing, because even the bumpy roads led me to my happy place now.
