If you could change a decision in your life, what would It be?
Do not want to hear from you that would not change a thing. Glad you feel you are so satisfied and that your lives are so great that you would not want to change a thing…
There are so many things I would like to change to see what would have been the outcome.
I had a decent job In in NYC after graduating from college. Where would it be today? The guy I moved away with and I are no longer together. I loved him. How would it be if we were still together?
Why if I had chosen a different major? Thought about a double sociology major, etc,etc.
I got married at age 23. If I hadn’t gotten married so young, I might not have gotten married at all, and that probably would have been a good thing.
Not taking my education more seriously when I had a choice. Being naive and thinking that I could use my artistic ability to earn a living…and also thinking that by the time I started getting wrinkles, there would be a miracle cure for them 
@lge62 made me think of one - using sunscreen, always. I’ve had skin cancer twice, and I’m probably more wrinkled than I’d otherwise be.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I’d gone to another state for college.
Establishing better health habits at a much younger age.
where to begin…
Can we change it back if we don’t like how it went? I would like to see how my life would be if I’d married the second guy who asked.
ETA: The one change that wouldn’t have a downside, I guess, is the same as doschicos’ – to establish better dietary habits.
Just was thinking about this week due to some news about an old HS boyfriend. I shouldn’t have let him get away…
Traveling Asia in my early 20s, I was so enamored of languages and culture. I so wanted to stay in Taiwan and seriously study Chinese. Instead I returned for the boyfriend, who I promptly broke up with on return.
A year later I went to nursing school. Being anti loan, I went for the ADN program. Now I realize that a BSN program might have better suited me for more interesting jobs. Or even better, PT or OT. Any of those might have made my path a little easier in terms of work life balance.
I wish I had broken up with my HS boyfriend much earlier and been able to get him the help and support he needed. I didn’t have the resources he needed and neither did he. His life could have been so different (and possibly much better and happier) if he had gotten the help he deserved.
I wish I had been better about keeping in touch with friends from college and law school. It’s hard for me to keep in touch with a lot of folks.
I guess I feel that all my decisions have formed my personality and strengths.
I would have tried to apply to others colleges than the only one state school- if I knew that I could afford it and someone might have suggested it (first generation college).
I really wonder what would have happened if I had gone to my second choice school. It would definitely have sent my life in a different direction.
Also, I wish H and I hadn’t moved in together so quickly. I should have lived on my own for longer…it would have been better for both of us.
I probably shouldn’t have married so early.
I was naive in always trying to do the right thing.
Finished the Ph.D, or alternately gotten an MFA.
Insisted on marriage counseling instead of letting things that were making us both unhappy just stay that way.
Local U or LAC, not huge flagship. Wasting far too much time on first b/f. Choosing wrong men.
Med school over PhD, but foolishly didn’t want any debt.
Better health habits.
Travel more with my son.
I never would have married my first husband (even though I met my current husband through my Loser First Husband.)
Or alternatively – I would have divorced that first husband sooner.
Not getting counseling while I was in college.
Maybe, not having my children when I was younger.
I might have gone back to work sooner and spent less time as a SAHM.
