If you could change you're past would you?

[munkey]

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?

I went on to grow up, become stable, and marry another girl who I thought was similarly sweet and kind and loving, but in reality it was all about her, she made unreasonable demands of everything, and sported a temper she couldn't control, so we've since divorced. In all likelihood, if I had done more, finished school, worked harder at keeping her, Christina and I would have stayed together, and we'd be completely happy (which we were when we were together), and maybe we'd have her three kids together, rather than the zero I have with my ex-wife.

Christina died on May 5 of last year from brain cancer, age 38. So, the answer is "in a heartbeat".

Every once in a while I get clobbered by a post, and this is one of them.

Well, I'm sure I could find many cool wives... but I doubt I could have my same kids, if I went back and made changes.

So, I probably wouldn't go back

THIS

But in all reality my mistakes and problems are what mad me into the man I am. So good, bad and all the flaws are what make me...me.

SO no, I'll play the hand I was dealt

I think most people would go back and change stuff. Some people have major mistakes and misgivings (marry a different person, pursue a different career, etc.,.). But even those without major misgivings would probably go back and do little things like apply themselves harder in school or take better physical care of themselves. I certainly would.

I would go back and choose a different NFL team to be a fan of.

You should find a new college team while you're at it.

True this. Some mistakes previous to this i regret. But could not jeopardize the experiences I've had with my son. Told him many times, he was the best thing I've ever done.
