I read a post recently that made me think...if you could go back to you're teens and apply what you know now about life in general would you?

evolve27 · 04-16-2010, 08:27 PM

Certainly.

Sometimes the best lessons are the ones learned the hard way. :-)

Of course. People that don't live their life w/ regrets are the ones that don't learn anything from their mistakes.

I think wisdom comes with experience, so what we learn throughout our lives or today can certainly make an impact on tomorrow...I would have made better decisions based on my knowledge I have today.

Absolutely. Without a doubt.

I have thought long and hard about this many times due to several significant things that happened in my life that were neagatives.

I eventually decided that I am mostly happy with who I am and if you change on thing in the past you may take away some of the positives.

For example my daughter was born out of wedlock and her mom and I were never married and that is a good thing. I change 1 thing before that and she wouldn't exist.

It's a slippery slope.
