About your past, what would it be and why?

[no.absolutes]

I wouldn't change anything... the butterfly effect would not worth it. I love the way my life is now.

probably nothing, I wouldn't be who I am and have all my wonderful children♥

I would have taken better care of physical self. I was always larger than most of my tiny friends when I was younger, and didn't realize that I was pretty normal... I just happened to have itty bitty friends. So I think I never felt like I had anything worth maintaining. But when I'm ready after this baby is born, I'm going to really start making that a focus more than I have before.

I think I would change my wedding day. If things were different then, my whole marriage would be different now and in a good way, I think. I still feel like I am walking on eggshells and I can't even talk about my wedding day around my MIL for fear that it might spark some kind of argument or animosity. I can't speak with DH about my wedding for fear that he might get defensive of his mom and really, any issue we have had in our marriage has been because of our wedding and what his mother did to me, and the fact that he STILL can't detach himself enough from her to defend me or see where I am coming from.

I made A LOT of mistakes when I was younger but if I changed any of them, I wouldn't be who I am or where I am now. So, I'll just stick with what I've done and not regret it.

This is tough b/c I know if I changed something then things would not be the way they are now and I love my life. But....I sometimes wish I had chosen a different career path. I think I would have loved being an RN or a PA and now that I have a good job it's very hard to be able to go back and start all over.

The only thing I would change wad being more outspoken...standing up for what I believe and of course standing up for myself. Even the awful things I endured I wouldnt change because those things put me where I am today and made me who I am today. But I found out later on in life that being more outspoken and more outgoing make life a lot more fun and easier.
btw Shelley...I can totally relate to the whole wedding fiasco. I wouldnt mind changing mine as well. Only my mom is the one who took over. dh and I still refer to it as her wedding lol

There are a couple of things. One I wish I had known what I wanted to be earlier in life and done college right out of HS. I have known for a couple of years now I've wanted to be a Dr or a PA, and after serious thought and lots of talks I'm now leaning into my PhD in Psychiatry.

Second thing would be making the dr's take a culture of my mom back when she first got sick 7 years ago and making them admit her so she wouldn't be in the situation she is in now.

Third is that I would have convinced my mom into making sure the dang dr's properly had taken care of my dad back 20+ years ago and he wouldn't have died from staph.

But like other people had said, if those events changed things wouldn't have happened the way they should have. (OH! And I wish I had moved to a different county in NC when I moved here instead of the county I live in!!!!)
