30 Days of the Truth
Day 22 - Something you wish you hadn't done in your life.
I'm not sure I really have much I would change. Sometimes I regret some teenage choices, but most of the time they are part of who I am today. Sometimes I wish I had not joined the military and abandoned my little brother and sister; or moved to Utah and abandoned them again. But here again, this is a part of me and a part of them now. Occasionally I wish I had either moved back to Colorado earlier or waited a couple more years. It still seems unfair to Dom that I moved him in the middle of high school. There are few more places I could second guess myself, but I know that I did the best I could at the time. Each time there is two paths, and I made a conscious choice, I weighed many options before coming to a decision. There are a few times (teenage years mainly) that I did absolutely no thinking at all, it is these knee jerk reactions that I regret the most. Part of growing up, becoming an adult, is learning to accept the past and learn from your mistakes. It does no-one any good to dwell on the past and second guess. The past cannot be changed. If you don't like who or what you were, make the change today and become someone you like.
