Things I would actually go back and change

Normally I’m not all about having regrets or going back to change things because I think your past makes you who you are today. However, there are three things I would have not done or done differently if I could:

  • Stood up to my dad.
  • Cared about school in first and second year of university.
  • Not have started or finished or even gone through our relationship the way we did. We ruined a perfectly good friendship that will never be the same again.
  • Went to more concerts that I just didn’t feel like going to at the time and regretted later.
  • Asked my brother what was going on when I knew something wasn’t right.
  • Befriended more lonely people.
  • Bought my dog and invisible fence collar and trained him to not run across the road so he would still be alive today.
  • Dated more guys in high school instead of clinging to you.
  • Stuck through soccer and basketball in high school even though those girls were bitches
  • Made different friends other than my cousin (when I was in grade school)

If I had actually done things the way I should have, I wonder what kind of a person I would be today. I would be perfect; and there is no such thing as perfect. The moral of the story is, don’t be ashamed of the mistakes you have made because if it weren’t for the bad things, you wouldn’t have the good things.
