A time you wish you could have back.

Is there a time in your life that you wish you could go back to and re-live? Perhaps an embarassing moment or time when you made a stupid decision? Like for instance, a stupid decision that I made went something like this: My friend and I own a house together and we were arguing about who had worked on it more and who spent more time in the project. Not thinking clearly, I acted out in anger and cut him deeply by telling him that all the help we received were from my friends and should be to my credit because he didn't have any friends, basically. I wish I would have never said that and hurt him that way. A time when I was embarassed was when I was a Sr. in high school and we were doing a "mock Senate". We were discussing a bill written by one of my classmates about people on welfare and gambling. I stated my rebutal against the bill and another classmate of mine verbally attacked me, on my birthday in front of the whole class. I was exteremly embarassed and belittled. I wish I had that back.

Thinking over my life, I guess my FIRST instinct would be to want to change it all. I hear of people's happy childhoods and I wish there was just one happy memory from my childhood. I think of the years of abuse from my oldest sister, my father and two step fathers and so much misery.
That feeling doesn't last very long. While the first twenty-two years of my life, and especially the first seventeen, were a horror story, I am now thankful for everything that happened. I would not change a single thing. Every thing that happened to me helped to make me what I am. The things that I suffered enable me to help others in the same situations.
So, no thank you. I'll stick with my life the way it was and be thankful for it.

I wish I could just step back into one day --any day-- from when I was in the range of 7-9 years old. I was really happy in that time of my life. I played outside in the woods a lot with my dog and she was my best friend. I'd just like to feel that free kid feeling again for a day. You how when you are a kid you are not concerned about walking thru someone else property or scared or worried about anything. I'd also love to and see my dog and my bedroom from that time again. There are very few pictures but I can *almost* see my dog and my bedroom in my mind but it's like a dream and all kindof fuzzy.

The time I wish I had back was when I said some bad things about my cousin, and not caring that she was jobless and in a general screwed mood, only because it came from the @$$ that was my 'pa,' and I didn't want to have anything to do with, or be part of his screwed up family.
Later, let's just say she's a very big reason for why I'm alive. Wish I could have those thoughts/feelings back.

I went to a community college for awhile and I never really felt like I fit in. I had a hard time making friends, especially since there wasn't dorms or anything like that. Any way one day I thought I saw a girl in one of my classes headed for the library and I took off after her because I had a question about an assignment and I had no idea how to get ahold of the teacher. It was raining out that day and as I hit the entry way of the library I was in a full run. Aparently there was a small puddle that I hit and I ended up on my backside and slid a couple of feet ... like 10 or 15 feet. Anyway, I finally came to a stop when one of the basketball players stopped me, he only stopped me because I almost took him out at the ankles. It also turned out that this guy was in one of my classes and I knew him through mutual friends. I had a crush on him and could never look him in the eyes after that.
