Apparently, I'm at a point in my life where I'm examining events and choices I have made in the past...This brings me to a new list.
Let's call this one, "Things I would do differently" or :Stupid decisions that I can't take back". Either way.
1. I would have worn sunblock and stayed out of the sun. Seriously folks...Cancer sucks (I don't have it, but I still know it sucks.)
2. I would have actually paid attention and put an effort into school. Instead I did awesome things like, setting the classroom on fire, throwing things, writing notes, daydreaming, ditching...you name it.
3. I would have learned how to sew and cook. I taught myself to cook and that has come in pretty handy. Sewing...I don't have as close of a relationship with this one, but I would love to rectify that.
4. I wouldn't have gotten involved in drugs and alcohol. There are whole years I don't remember, thanks to my escapades.
5. I wouldn't have gotten married at 19. I would still have married The Mr., but later :)
6. I would have finished college the first time around because I gotta tell you...going back to school at 30 is no bueno. No bueno at all.
7. I would have dated more. Now, before you jump on me, let me 'splain. I would not have had more boyfriends, I would have dated more. You know, dinner, movie...Seriously, I think it's important to date, otherwise how are you going to know what you like or don't like??
8. I would have moved away from my family. Not because I don't love them, but because I think we gain a certain amount of maturity and wisdom when we live away from our safety net.
I'm sure there is more that I could add to this list. But I wont.

I hear you sister. I can relate, especially to number 1, number 2 and number 6.
ReplyDeleteI can proudly say I did number 7 and number 8. I didn't move too far away though, had to be with in a days drive. I learned a lot in my early twenties from numbers 7 & 8.
Love your posts!
Hindsight is 20/20, right?
