If you could change the past, would you do it?

Think about your life. Think about all of your accomplishments and all of your failures. Think about the things you're proud of and the things you regret. Think of the people you've failed, and the people who've failed you. Think of your education and your career. Think of your family and your friends.

If you could change anything you wanted to in your past, would you do it? What if the changes you make in your past change your future? Would you still make those changes?

I wouldn't change anything. No regrets.

I would have left my abusive boyfriend a lot sooner than I had the courage to. I can't say I wish I never would have met him because if not, I never would have given birth to my middle son, Alex. I just wish I would have left him a lot sooner than I did.
I might change the way I reacted to a situation.
As I have a better take on what's important.
(If that makes any sense at all)

I would have taken better precautions this year to get my cats protected from fleas, we started too late and I am full of flea bites

I would have waited until I was 30 to get married.
doria c. Aug 15, 2007, 11:49pm EDT
I wouldn`t change, because I am who I am because of my experiences.
J R B. Aug 15, 2007, 11:50pm EDT
I would have tried to keep my husband off yhe yacht that nite. Maybe he would still be alive.
Karyn K. Aug 15, 2007, 11:50pm EDT
There is one area of my life about 34 yrs ago that I would change in a minute if I could.
Kim ohhh I wish.... Aug 15, 2007, 11:53pm EDT
I probably wouldn't have sent that email this afternoon.... but now atleast I'll know.. or well.. as soon as he reads it atleast!

No. Even the bad things are part of who I am, and I couldn't choose to be someone else. Pretty keen on changing the future though - what I make of who I am.

I would change the time in my life when I had an abusive boyfriend. My life would change for the better if I had never met him. I would no longer flinch when someone reaches up grab something near me. Other then that life is good.

I would change one or two things. Most things I would leave as is.
I often say, I'd love to go back and change all the things I've done wrong. To somehow set them to rights, but in reality I know that those failures as well as my accomplishments are what have made me the person I am today, and truth be told I kind of like me these days, so instead of worrying about yesterday, I'll hold my head up and focus on tomorrow.....after all, it's only a day away.....:-)

Me when I was bothered by a very powerful girl who resembles my name, I made a choice at hand, not gonna marry this girl... even if she's famous Mikee Cojuangco. I hated that girl....

I think that was the reason I am here very solemn like in an island doing my written tablets or books...
Alena Chauntee AKA Kitten Aug 16, 2007, 3:25am EDT
Yes I would. I would love to go back in time to when me and Brian met. I would move with him to Seattle and I know we would still be together. That would truly make me happy.
Lisa Frost Aug 16, 2007, 6:22am EDT
As much as I regret some things in my life, I don't know that changing them would not make them worse either. I will not second guess my life from here.
Missy Cline Aug 16, 2007, 6:27am EDT
Yes. I'd dump the excess weight as a young teen and keep it off and quit hopping sooner than I did. Maybe , just maybe my knee wouldn't be in the shape it is now if I hadn't stayed heavy and hopped until my late teens.
Missy Cline Aug 16, 2007, 6:34am EDT
also I wouldn't have wasted my virginity on the jerk who got it. would have saved it for my husband.
Kimberly Ripley Aug 16, 2007, 9:08am EDT
I'd have learned to stay out of bad relationships as a very young person.
Joe Corso Aug 16, 2007, 9:34am EDT
Sometimes I do re think the past and honestly, everything I've done has been the only thing I could have done. Nothing could have been done differently. I'm happy!
Danielle P. Aug 16, 2007, 9:37am EDT
I wish I was born with the wisdom I have now and could have avoided a few lessons.
Mary C. Aug 16, 2007, 9:38am EDT
I would have had more patience with my children and hollered less.
Jerri H. Aug 16, 2007, 12:44pm EDT
Nope....to change your past is to change your experiences and that would change who you are.
Margaret & Jeze Richardson Aug 16, 2007, 2:00pm EDT
My past, no matter how unpleasant some of the things that happened, is what has formed me into the person I am today. So no, I wouldn't change anything about the past, even if it could rid me of the disabilities I suffer now. God has enabled me to use my disabilities and my past experiences to reach out to others today, and for that I am eternally grateful.

I would change 8 seconds on July 6, 2007. My cousin and his girlfriend were killed in a car accident that day. I would give them 8 more seconds to put their seatbelts on and if they had that 8 seconds they would still be here today. Even if this 8 seconds changed what is going on in my life today, I would do it. Interesting question....
donna h. Aug 16, 2007, 5:06pm EDT
Not sure, but it would probably go all the way back to 1978 and just change the path
CyberGwen ! Aug 16, 2007, 7:43pm EDT
I would have figured out that drinking wasn't for me and stuck with that plan a lot sooner.
Machiavelli Dayupay Aug 16, 2007, 9:46pm EDT
hey I mentioned the name of the girl,... well she got 5 names like myself. My two names before my machiavelli are a riddle.

she is one enormous gal to me... politically, showbiz and rich, that was what she was boasting. They were great coz I loved to think, and very academic person even in simple matters. But I don't blame her, she just learned infatuation... its my fault I loved riding my bike near the place where she live in our metro, but she is wrong for ME in many reasons, I just knew.
Machiavelli Dayupay Aug 16, 2007, 9:50pm EDT
I regret that past, because I did nothing to teach the girl some good behavior...
Tiffany G. Aug 17, 2007, 5:46pm EDT
Hello, I would do many things different YES! I had a daughter at a very young age but I honestly would not have changed that! I think if I did not have her and grow up I would have really went down the wrong path! I had my daughter and she kept me in line! I would change my party habits I used to have! Thats enough said!
Sharon B. Aug 18, 2007, 3:16pm EDT
I would probably change a few things but for the most part I am satisfied with my life.

There are definite some events in my past that I wish I could change but at the same time I am very happy with the new man in my life and I hate to think we would have never met which would probably be the case if I changed past events so that really is a tough question for me.
