Grenade. Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's the classic question. If you were given the chance to live your entire life over again, knowing all the consequences of the choices you made the first go around, would you do anything differently? I honestly don't think I would. Probably because I'm a believer in the butterfly effect, and I don't want to miss out on a lot of things that I got going for me in my life. Namely, I don't want to risk losing my group of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickshow Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I would only do one thing differently, and I don't think it would have too much of an impact on anything. I bought my first "good" guitar a few years ago, an LTD KH 202, or a Kirk Hammet signature. It was pretty much the bottom end signature model though, although it is still a good guitar. But when I bought that guitar, I tried out the next model up, the KH 602, and it was much nicer than the one I got. I didn't have enough money at the time though so I just got the lower end one. Then a couple weeks later I end up getting $600 from paychecks at work, which was enough to afford the better version. That's pretty much the only thing I would change.

Generations Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Nope. The only thing I regret in my life was the way I handled my friendship with this girl I like...and even with that considered, I learned a lot of really important shit from all of that. Stuff that really shaped me into who I am...which I ultimately believe to be a better person, even though I'm also somewhat incapable of feeling certain emotions now, which I don't like...because I always wanted a proper love, and I'm not so sure that I will ever have one. Jaded, I guess... But I wouldn't change anything regarding who I am as a person. My mistakes in the past have mainly been giving other people far too much credit. I've never wronged anyone. Actually, the one thing that stands out in my mind that I really could have only prevented from an early age, would have been to exercise more often. I was overweight in middle school and high school, and I didn't get to a proper weight until I was about 19, when I lost 45lbs in two months...but at 23, I still have the proverbial "man tits". A very regrettable attribute that is hard to get rid of. Luckily I'm also somewhat barrel chested, due to my Scottish genes...so it isn't as noticeable as it could be...but I'm still not comfortable without a shirt on. So, that would be my top regret. The only way to fix such a problem now is to do exercises like bench, pullups, pushups, etc...all of which I kind of dread. I've always preferred hiking, squats, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3:16 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Kinda like Generations. I believe every single decision I ever made has helped me become the person I am today and changing anything might turn me out differently. Im happy with my life so far. I would maybe change miniscule things like ordering a burger when I felt like ordering a pizza, but nothing major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrilegium Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I would do a ton of things differently. There's so many things I should've done but I didn't. So many things I shouldn't have done, but I did. I used to obsess about this quite a bit, but not so much anymore. What's done is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreay fufu Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 It'd be fun to go back and try a lot of things differently. I've lived it one way, so why not go back and live it on the other side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDGEHEAD15 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd do it all again just because I don't wanna die. Save that little magical ability until I'm about to die and BAM! free hall pass to another life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh yeah, definitly, loads of stuff. I'd probably not do the stuff that was of no use to me and hurt me instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~PsychoCentral~ Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd love to be able to go back and actually give a crap about my University degree, but the problem with that is, I wouldn't have the group of friends that I've got now and they've helped me through a lot recently. I love them all too much to not have them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petos Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'd probably work on being less lazy as a kid, because now I have trouble getting myself to do the simplest of things. Kinda feels like life will be tougher for me than it has to, because of my motivational problems. I have a feeling that having lived my life being this complacent, it could be too late now to turn that around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Sy™ Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Oh yes. I'm not proud of the way I've behaved in the past and at times for some reason I still don't behave the way I'd like to which leads to a lot of disappointments. I've always been a good dude and all, but I've almost never seeked revenge for something another person did/said to me. That's the reason why I don't get much respect by other people and don't get taken seriously. Unfortunately there's a recent example of it. A few weeks ago I was in a subway train full of people, then suddenly a stranger kinda rips my headphones off my head because he thought I couldn't listen to what he had to say and I didn't do a damn thing. I should've knocked him out, I have no *censored*ing idea why I didn't do it. I'm sure my actions would've impressed that hot chick in there too.

Sir-Smoke-A-Lot Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 There are just a few things i would change. I would like to go back to when i was in high school and probably treat my girlfriends differently (not date one of them completely), i would have also liked to be more sociable, attend more parties, start skateboarding at a younger age, and spent alot more time with my big brother R.I.P.

I have a feeling that having lived my life being this complacent, it could be too late now to turn that around. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I was a lazy kid and now I'm knocking on 40's door and I'm still very lazy. I have very little motivation and I get complacent really easily. Good luck if you can change that, but I haven't found myself able to. I can motivate myself for a little while if I'm in the right frame of mind, but it always passes before too long. Then I'm back to being a bump on a log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
