    Absolutely. I was a total wanker at times, although now I can figure how certain paths taken were maybe inevitable, or probable. Thing is, if you weren't who you were then, could you be in the same situation now?

    Most of the things i would want to change about my life aren't things I would have the power to change anyway. For the most part I wish I had the power to change some other people's choices. I know I could have dealt was some things in different ways...and as to whether or not I would want to go back and change them...that depends on the kind of day I'm having.

    Good question.

    It's easy to say that you would do one or two things different but then where you would have wound up in the present?

    I guess the answer might be - if you're unhappy now, sure get crazy with your time machine and fuck with some things and see if you wind up better off.

    If you are happy now, tread cautiously in your time machine, or you might wind up miserable or dead.

    Plus, you might run into your future and/or past self, and as we all know, that will cause the universe to blink out of existence...

    Same. I'd definitely be more outgoing.

    I would ask someone to TRY for me...instead of leaving my pride intact...just in case it would have mattered.

    I'm happy with who, what and where I am in my life. How I got here may not have been easy, there may have been easier roads to travel....maybe more interesting roads (ie - going away for college instead of commuting) or safer than the ones I took. But I'm here....I got myself here....I am mine. If I did things differently, I might not be where I am today.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Yeah, there are a few regrets so far but fuck it, I'm young. No point dwelling. Given the choice I'd do a few things differently but I'm not going to yearn for something that's never going to happen.

    no

    only reason i'd want to go back in time is to re-live past events...

    that's it

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    very few thankfully. but i do have some VERY specific ones....and theyre things i can still "put right".

    and putting those things right is my plan of action for the time being (just finished college and not working, so have time to do this).

    the regrets that you can fix are the ones worth thinking about.

    fuck yeah i feel pumped now :)

    Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't change and thing except....I would love everyone in my life more deeply, be more in the moment and enjoy the little things in life. Once those you love die....the chance is over.
