I would have to say that if I could only turn back time that I I wish have listened to my mom more instead of ignoring what she says because in the end my mom was right all along. I wish I continued school and didn't act up then I would have been a better person and my family would have been proud of me. How about you? If you can turn back time what would you do and and why?

I'm not sure of what to say except I'm sorry you had to go through something horrible on your suppose to be weeding day I'm staring at my scren and thinking of what else to say since that made me speechless for a minute. I hope you are not married to that man anymore? May I ask why you do not want to become a doctor anymore? I would have loved to be smart like you and become a doctor myself but I wasn't born to be one I guess. I just hope everything is better now for you. Thank you so much for sharing that with me.

Thank you, Im not trying to get sympathy just trying to talk a bit more. No, I am no longer married to that monster. I walked out on him the next morning and filed for divorce within 2 weeks. I a married to great caring and gentle man now. My Saga with medicine is long but overall medical training has become a sort of mental, emotional and physical abuse I decided I no longer needed in my life. Thank you for caring.

I wish I would of paid attention more in school and gotten a better job right after I graduated and stayed there until I had my first child. Paid off more bills and things before I had my first child. Would of made less of a big deal on how big my wedding was.

I wish the same thing about school getting a better job and paying of bills before planning to have a baby. I guess we really just don't realize things until it doesn't go the way we want it or hoped for.

if i could turn back time i would show more my feelings to a certain person.i didn't do this the way i would like to have done it because i was afraid not to get hurt but finally i got hurt.and i wish he knew that i cared about him a lot,my feelings were pure,childish...as our relationship was.it may have been childish and pure but it was all i wanted to be...the days after this came to its end i felt sorrow because he may not know how much i cared about him and maybe if i was more afectuos we would be together know.but that's life,we are humans,we make mistakes(i made my mistakes,he made his) and i like to believe that every tear that i drop will be rewarded with a smile in the future.so if you love someone let him or her know that by sure(i'm not telling you to tell him or her every 5 minutes "i love you" 'cause it's getting boring,i'm telling you that you shouldn't be cold just to not get hurt bad).and if you are young live your youth,have fun,make friends,feel good,don't let this moments pass away...live them!i do this now but a few years ago school was almost the only way of "having fun".

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more. I'm getting old and all I can do is savor what I have and what happens in my life.

There's alot of things that I would want to change about my past, and maybe do things differently but I can't help but think if I were able to do that would my life turn out the way it has. I have a wonderful husband and two wonderful babies. So I guess maybe I wouldn't.

I agree with you as well since we all have things in life that we don't want to change because it makes us happy and contented. Just like one of my favorite quotes says: "Never regret anything because at one point that's what you wanted" I guess that's what makes us appreciate life even more.
