    I would definitely change how I took care of myself when I was younger. It is because of my ignorance I am now more than 100 pounds overweight.

    Nothing! I have made some horrible mistakes in the past, but I have truly lived life and continue to do so. I wouldn't change a thing. It brought me here.

    I would have held on longer through the bad times instead of just giving up... that giving up has cost me MANY years and countless sleepless nights of regret. :cry:

    If I could go back I think I would not come out to my parents so young. I would have waited until I was out of school and capable of taking care of myself. Almost every horrible thing that's happened to me since I was 15 would have been prevented by changing this one decision.

    However, I really wouldn't change it. Despite the horrible events that came after I am the woman I am today because of those events and I happen to really like myself and where I am going. I have no clue how I would be now had everything gone as planned for me, but something tells me I wouldn't like myself. lol

    You never know how any given different choice would have changed your life. For instance, if I could go back in time, the thing I'd be most likely to change is how I selected friends. I would be less shy and be friends with people who valued my company, rather than with whoever was easiest to become friends with (still haven't quite gotten the hang of that, but I'm working on it...). But the thing is, if I had done that, I might have gotten what I wanted back in high school (not that my high school was bad, but it was a bit dull) or college, but if any of those things had been different, I would not be where I am today, be going where I think I should be going, or have gone and had the single best year of my entire life, a second really cool year, and the plans I have today.

    Envisioned life: Stayed friends with my cool high school friends after graduation, perhaps even had a boyfriend, went to college, stayed in the dorms, had friends? maybe went out of state, but maybe not (perhaps kept that boyfriend? Perhaps had another, who knows). Went to medical school, got married, lived in the Colorado Mountains. Yep, high school, everyone obsessed with boyfriends and college, but there's so much more to life...

    Real life: Lost all my high school friends after high school, went to college half an hour away from my home (state university but still), stayed at home, didn't really talk to people, made a couple of friends through the duration of college, went to Alaska one summer, studied abroad in Russia, got to the end of college, decided I didn't really want to go to medical school, went to Glasgow for a year, Krakow for a year, come back and am looking for jobs doing all sorts of interesting things.
