    I would kiss my parents more, talk to them more, be less of a smart ass at school with teachers that were only trying to make me better. What would you do differently?

    I wouldn't do that anyway! :pac:

    I'd have not come back after I ran away the first time when I was 6 :D


    Seriously though, I wouldn't do anything differently, because then I wouldn't be aware of how much I should appreciate the life I have now :)

    It's funny I have thought so often about how I wish I had studied more or what would be if I had done x,y,z.

    But I have 2 beautiful boys and I know that every decision I have made in my life has lead me here. If I was to change something.... even just slightly... I could jepordise my boys and their future.

    So no. I wouldn't.

    I'm very similar to yourself. I do sometimes wish I had taken different choices but then my own kids wouldn't be there. Isn't it amazing how random life is?

    Forget about Leicester winning the English Premiership the odds of my kids being born must be in the millions.

    I wouldn't have done the college course I did. 4 years of feeling out of my depth, in a horribly difficult course that I had very little interest in, just 'cause I was too scared to drop out. College years are meant to be the "best of your life" but they pretty much destroyed any self-confidence I ever had in myself.

    Also I wish I'd recognised at an earlier age how much being overweight sucks and gotten into shape before puberty kicked in. I'm now 26 and, while not obese, am definitely still burdened with stubborn excess pounds that feel almost impossible to burn off.

    Snap, my first 3 were done by the same guy and are all a bit ****ty.

    I'd would've been a bit braver when it came to girls.

    The main one is once I hit my 20s drink less, eat less, exercise more and start BJJ as soon as a school showed up within an 50 mile of me.

    If I could turn back time, I would go back and repeat my leaving cert - I would repeat to get into a better version of my own course in a better run college!!

    I'd also take better care of myself!

    Everything, I see no reason to do the same stuff all over again. Would be interesting to see how things would work out differently.
