Question

I wish I could go back to when I was 7.. I'd change all my stupid mistakes... I wouldn't have been mean to my little brother because he only lived til 12, I wouldn't stay in and not have fun because there never came a point where that would become different. I wouldn't have lost my virginity to my ex.. I would have stayed off the internet, I would have got help for my self hate.. but of course there is no going back.
It's stupid tho because really I live life on easy street.. My parents both still baby me and both want me to live at their houses. My mom just put $20,000 in my account this morning and my ex still sends me money because as he says "We are still buds and he will always help me out" but at the same time I still hate my life lol.

I can pass on correcting my own mistakes since those mistakes weren't grave, life-altering errors.

I'd like to go back to make improvements or additions to successes I've significantly pulled off in the past.

Often.

I lived with my Great Grandparents and I was rich. I took it for granted. I started acting up to the point of having to go foster care or my Mom. My Mom was typical "live off of child support payments" trailer park living.

If I could back... I would not fuck that shit up. I would do so much shit different. I would demand homeschool, get Stright A's and do so much more service to them.

I was young and had no idea what I was throwing away. I love them... I don't love my mom... that should make it clear about the difference.

When I was younger. Now I'm old enough to understand that all those experiences built the man that now stands here. I wouldn't want to go back and change anything because 1. I like who I am and what I've become. And 2. To go back start changing things doesn't mean the outcome would be better. It's like the back to the future timeline. If you change something it creates a whole new sequence of alternate events.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

Not concentrating more on "relationships" in college. I was popular and had a lot of friends but I didn't form all that many close relationships. I did not look for a woman to "leave college with and plan marriage". I figured I needed to establish a career first before looking.

Thanks for asking a better question than it usually is. This "Have you ever wished" instead of "Do you wish" changed a few important things.

Do I wish it, no. Because I'm at peace with what I have.

Did I wish it? I think sooooo. Which mistakes, oh you're going to be so surp---- Yeah, it's about a girl and blablabla 😒

No I can't. . Who knows how different life would be if I was able to.. but every thing I have been through has made me who I am

When I was born my parents got a Divorce
Who know how things should have been different if they would have stayed together..

I can't go back I wouldn't go back. I am me because every heart ache I've been through.
Because heart ache Equals a deeper understanding at deeper love that I would not trade for anything

I attended a college that had a work study part that would help pay tuition. It was a 5 year program and instead of semesters they had 12 week quarters. I went for almost 4 years but had to drop out because I ran out of money. I worked my ass off but it just got too expensive. Since the terms were 12 weeks long, no other college would transfer them, It was basically a giant waste of time and money.

March 2024 when I stood too close to a speaker at a gig and got hearing damage, and have had tinnitus ever since. If I had been smarter and kept my distance, my life wouldn't be such utter hell now.
