Random question.

If you could start your adult life over what would you do different?
Would you live somewhere else?
Would you pursue a different career?
Would you act different than you did?

Take care of my beat up body better after the wreck.
no.
no.
yes.

Would've never spent a single dollar not earmarked for bills, on anything other than gun-related items...

Would've had that discreet threesome I was offered and turned down, all out of a misguided sense of fidelity to an ex-fiance' who I thought things would eventually work out with.

And I would've started looking at med-school a lot sooner than now. I believed too much of the garbage my dad threw at me about how I'd never amount to anything. Proved him wrong, but I let it get into my head too much when I was younger.

However, if I'd lived my life differently I might not have met my wife, so I guess I better not retroactively change anything. :-)

You can't change the past. Everything you do is all part of the life experience. Besides if you had no regrets/brief moments of clarity/ near brushes with death, what lessons could you pass on to your kid[s]

I usually don't waste my time with mental masturbation like this. I try to use my CPU cycles for stuff that matters today and tomorrow.

Same here. I would've taken care of my joints better. Play less crazy sports in the past.

I'm pretty content, might have taken my full ride for baseball and see where that took me but I enjoy life now

If I could start over with the maturity I have now...I'd serve.

Though if starting over meant giving up my newborn son, I don't think I could do that.

Too many variables, for every bad decision you've made the resulting actions have probably done you more good (if you're here and not in prison I guess) like learning lessons and meeting people you never would have. I'll keep what I got, shitty days and all, live in the moment and build for the future.
