What would you do over?

Sometimes we do some not-so-smart things. Right off the top of my head I could probably list about ten things that I've done recently. If you could go back and do something over, what would it be?

I would change the way I've acted around some people. I've made some dumb mistakes that wound up pushing people out of my life - great people who I wish were still in my life. I would give anything to have a second chance and "fix" the mistakes I've made. Objects are one thing, but every person is so unique that I don't want to get rid of any one of them. I think people are absolutely amazing, and some relationships are so delicate but so worthwhile. I wish I would've never fought anyone out of my life.

I can understand that. To be honest, I'm not sure there is too much that I would go back and change. I see the past as something that I should learn from and try not to make it my future. It's a learning opportunity.

Agreed! But you have to look at every situation differently. Some situations can't (and shouldn't) be fixed. I believe most, though, can be "fixed", and that more people forgive than most people realize. But some friendships aren't worth the trouble - like if two friends have totally changed their personalities to a point where they wouldn't even enjoy each other's presence anymore. I can't put much value to a friendship that I KNOW I'm not going to enjoy anyway. But if there's someone who I feel like I can totally connect with, have fun with, and enjoy wholeheartedly, I think it's worth it to at least try. After all, friendships are golden. Always follow your heart and have faith and good judgement deciding whether things are worth putting effort into. Some things really CAN be fixed :)

Well, i think i did some not-so-smart things all the time. Like saying something stupid in front of my boss's boss. lol And something that hurt my boyfriend which i don't mean it. I think if i can do it over, i will take all the bad words and stupid words back.
