What would you change about your past

and why?

 

Nothing. It is a humongous part of why I am who I am....

I'm just glad it's over with.

What would you change?

 

I agree with Weavie. The person I am today is due to my yesterdays.

 

Trick question.

As bad as some of my past was I can't deny that it helped shape me into who I am... I'm a far stronger person for the childhood traumas I've been through.

If I were to relive life via an easy path I'd lack alot of the character that has me respect the reflection looking back in the bathroom mirror.

edit: in other words, what they said ^^^^^^

 

Hmmm.... maybe me visiting this place? nah I've met too many cool people, and one asshole. Sadly that asshole is one of my good friends.

 

I would let me have born later, because I want to know what happens.

 

The only thing I would change is probably dropping out of college. I was making good grades and everything. There was no cause for me to quit other than I was being stupid.

 

I never should have started dying my hair. :tongue: That's the only thing I can think of.

 

Now that's a thoughtful change.
And yes, our past does make us who we are at the moment now...

 

I agree 10 percent

 

only 10 percent?

 

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I meant 100 haaaaa too funny

 

Honestly, there have been a lot of bad things I have went through in this lifetime, but I feel those were the things that I have learned valuable lessons from, and made me a better and wiser person today. I don't know what life has in store for me, but as the puzzle pieces come together (good and bad) they're making the journey of my life, I don't know what the end has in store for me, and at the same time it's the journey that makes life, life.

 

I'd change how I did things in eighth and ninth grade. Some of the shit I did still affects me now.

 

At this point I think I'd change almost everything or at least do over either everything from 6th grade on or the first year of high school when I could have had a fresh start. The reason why is hard to type and pretty dumb. I know that I'm still young and can change things, but it would have been so much easier to have just not gotten to where I am in the first place. I feel like I've lost too many years and because of this I can only lose more in trying to catch up. Oh well, as no time machines have been created I guess it really doesn't matter and I should just change what I do now.

 

I'd like totally go back in time and squish a bug and see if Al Sharpton became president.

 

i wouldn't have been such a coward so often growing up... i'm still working on that now though

 

that is such a loaded question, if i could answer i would have to think about it. my first responce was "what wouldn`t i change"

 

well i would have moved to canada and become a perminend canadian citizen in the late 60s, instead of joining the air force, as my way of getting out of being drafted into the army to kill civilians in a place called viet nam that america was then backing a mafioso dictator ship following its doctrine of demonizing everything that doesn't kiss the ass of little green pieces of paper, and also i think there may have been oil in the gulf of tonkin.

but anyway, yah, i'd be a canadian citizen now and would have been for the past 40 years, maybe, if that had been what had been ment to be.

the other thing is i would have bought land instead of that boat, the way i had set out to, and i damd sure would never have gotten involved in the life of my ex fience's fience, which is how i ended up with the boat we were going to go commercial fishing with, which never did happen, but it did give me a very low rent place to live for most of a year.

all that being 40 to 45 years ago. not much else i could have chainged if i wanted to, if i could, as mentioned before, even have chainged those things. they weren't anything i did out of blindness or intention even then, so i don't know what if anything i could have done to chainge the conditions which resaulted in my doing either of them.

maybe if i could have choosen to have been raised by different parents or something like that. probably about the only thing that would or could have done any good as far as i can see. and no guarantee of even that.

there's no choice i've made that, given the options i had at the time, i would or could have made better or differently, or if there is, i sure don't see any way in hell how.

and of course if i could have at the time, i damd sure would have too.

I wouldn't have let myself get so fat......yeah thats about it!
