    Life is all about our vision...looking back over our shoulder is always 20/20, and looking ahead always blurry. It would be fab to have a certain point in life that I could have chosen differently and life's outcome be different, but the star gazing becomes a reality when you find out that every choice is new and no outcome can be predicted. SOOOOOOO, I would choose to use the wisdom I have learned from all my choices to make my next choice, and never stop star gazing.

    I think I would choose to take a different kind of book actually my life is good but not how i pictured it. I would like to be an excavator. Not an IT manager. So it would be choosing a different education at age 15.

    I am not sure, when I was younger I would have said the night when at five my stepfather first began to visit my room...but now that i am older and have weathered the fires of this life I do not know that I would change too much...if not for the tortures of my childhood could I have survived the horrors of my adult life and having walked through the fires to get to the other side of all this...I kinda have respect for myself

    When the love of my life asked me to move in with him, I would have. I was 18, and thought I was too young, plus came from a very religious family, and moving in together would have scandalized everyone, but I have never gotten over him and it's been almost 30 years.

    My Change of Path would've been when I was 18 years old & married this good-looking, alcolholic. Had I chosed not to marry him, I feel as if my life would had been a lot different.

    NOTHING. I used to think I should have made different choices, because my life went 'very bad' ... but when I was at my 'lowest' I met the man who is now my husband. We COULD NOT have met if I had made different choices ... and we are EXTREMELY HAPPY, we have a GOOD LIFE, and we are TOGETHER FOREVER AND BEYOND. So all of those 'bad decisions' turned out to be for the BEST ... Thanks be to God!

    I would definitely have finished my degree BEFORE I got married. Then I would have always felt secure in my ability to take care of myself if I had to, which unfortunately, since my husbands death, I have had to and the finances have been really tough.

    Certainly. I always wanted to see every square inch of this planet, and would choose that as my life every time.

    if I could go back in perfect health and without motion sickness I'd love to have been a fighter pilot in world war 2, or a gunner on a bomber.
