Your post compeled me to reply, such an opening question, I assume in my mind, the great hindsight is a natural feeling, yet when I have done such things, looking back that is, I find it hard to bring everything into the equation.

Yes, there are things I would may be change, to feel the other side of the coin so to speak, but I would never have understood where I have ended now.

I think if you have something specific like should I have been a fireman or a airline pilot you may think still think I would love to be an airline pilot.

That said if you decision was not whole your decision at the time and you were coerced, tricked or pressured into making the past decision you may still carry resentment.

Sometimes I find it easy to look back and say wish things had been different, but in all I think things happen because of many reasons and putting a judgment against myself at a later date is never a good thing for me. What was is, and that is that.

True, we can't change the past. Therapy teaches us we can't do the " should haves " It's not going to help in any way.

I would have gone in the military straight out of high school so I could complete at least one tour of duty.

if I could go back 10 years I would have married my then fiancé. Haven’t felt loved like that since then. Just a series of men who call me crazy to my face and behind my back,
