If you could go back and start adulthood again, would you do anything different?

I have such overwhelming longing for a chance to go back and things to go differently to get a different outcome - but even if time travel was possible, I couldn't change things anyway because the stuff that impacted my life was significant bereavement and my own serious health issues. So going back in time wouldn't fix anything, and I'd just be waiting for the deaths to happen etc with a sense of dread Confused So it doesn't really make sense at all!

Meeting DP was the best thing to happen to me later on, so I'd ensure that meeting still happened Grin

If you could rewind and do anything differently, would you? Or like me, would there not really be anything much you could do to end up in a different place?

I would've moved out earlier and lived alone.. I would've taken the job abroad..I would've told the one that got away that actually I did want to be with him... I wouldn't have married my DH..

I would not have dated my ex. I'd have applied for the overseas posting. I'd have stopped being a people pleaser. So, so much I could have done better.
