I would've stayed in the top 10% of my class Up to my junior year I was all A's and a couple B's.
I would've stayed in sports and kept playing baseball football and soccer.
For fact I would've gotten a scholarship for baseball maybe football.
You live and you learn

10 years ago I hoped I would be dead by now. (Mopey teenager)
5 years ago I thought I would be dead by now. (Iraq)
Now I just don't care anymore. (Indifference)

No offense, but I need no pity. What is wrong with me I have done to myself. No one else is to blame, and these demons are my own to fight.Originally Posted by Weekend Girl

1) Nope, never would have I thought I would be where I'm at. My ego was too much then, and I thought the world was a freefall for me.
2.) Nothing because it has made me who I am today. If I worried about my past, it would eat me up inside.
OP, it's great you see what family means, some never even find that. Don't be so hard on yourself. You have nothing to prove to mom, or family. Theonly thing you have is to be honest with is yourself and look in the mirror, and say I'm doing right, as of now.

wow.....yes!!!
lets see: I woulda never let my self get fat, that killed my confidence, all the fastfood and junk i ate, lack of excerise since high school, and alcoholconsumption just didnt help at all!
I wouldve taken high school more serious soo i could gone somewhere outta state.....also been more social instead of so hateful! College wish i would been soolazy, and studied...prolly be further along then i am now.
Theres a lot of good girls i had that i wouldnt have taken for granted.....wouldnt have been such a douche....now that im not pullin chicks like i use to ithnk back.
Shoulda been smarter with my credit cards! now im here paying bills every month for stuff i have nothing to show for.
My alcohol consumption caused major problems in my life!!! I shoulda never gotten soo wasted soo many times; there is soo much stuff i dont remember, stuff ilost, girls i missed out on smashing cuz i was hella wasted, days i was too drunk to go into work on time, soo many cell phones i broken, and all the money ispent on gettin wasted instead of taken care of business. I wouldnt have gone to jail either if it wasnt for my alcohol consumption

Well I'm 21 and in college
I wanna say I regret transferring (cuz it set me back a year) But I dont
Had I came to my school when I did I doubt I would have the gr8 friends I have
Although I can say I would have NEVER thought me and my mom would turn into best friends....

There use to be a couple of things I wished too change ... Didn't really understand why I had to go through those hardships .... But now that I'mliving the outcome of those times .. I wouldn't change a thing, otherwise I wouldn't be the man I am today ... Heading in the direction, I'm going... The only thing is I wish music would've found another way to come back into my life .. but then again I might not have found the strength I have now

5 years ago I didn't even see myself in school, 10 years ago I was ten.
Don't get me wrong, I've been through some hardships but I got by those and I'm feeling good about where I am in life.

Mines simple. I wish i didnt run away from pressures in my life a few years ago.
Fulltime job, fulltime school, and fulltime girlfriend. I couldnt handle it. Waking up everyday in the morning, going to a miserable telemarketing job thatpaid well, just so i can pay for my nice car. I started drinking heavy, quit my job because i didnt want to work there any more, left my girl because shewanted to get engaged, chilled on school because i partied to much.
Im better now, i just wish i had put up a fight and figured out a better situation than just quitting everything. I would of have one more year left incollege, would of stayed with a great girl(she put up with a lot of my %*#@) And i would of still had my car that i totaled. Ehhh but what can ya do that'slife. I did gain a lot of experience from mad situations after messing up so bad. So with me being the person i am now, i wouldnt change that.
