The only thing I would do differently is not say hurtful things I’ve said in anger. This is in my more recent life. I can’t take them back. Just apologize and not do it again.

Yes and no. If I changed a few things I think my life would end up where I am. I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize not meeting my husband for sure. So yes I’d change little things like do better in school or art. Make more friends, be less paranoid.

I would finish high school and go straight to college. Instead, I gave birth and got married at 17. I endured a terribly hurtful (emotionally not physically) marriage for 20 years “for the kids.” Now that I’m a a remarried 43 year old prosecuting attorney, I know what happiness feels like. I also have a new toddler and feel that she benefits from something my grown (but very functional) children did not – patient parents. It seems that (at least for me) with age, wisdom and patience come.

With that energy and will you are wasting for years in University you can cope with any biz.
I envy people who started something during their education (or instead).

I wouldn’t necessarily say that energy is wasted. To me university isn’t primarily about writing good grades, but more a out meeting new people and starting some sort of an initiative or business…
But you can also start a biz after as well.

There’s lots of things I wish I hadn’t done (marriage, for one), but if I hadn’t done them, I might have done something worse. So, unless I knew for certain there would be a better outcome, no, I wouldn’t do anything differently.

I don’t know – some of that depends on if I took the knowledge I have now with me? Would I be able to see the consequences of the differences I might choose? I’m thinking – it would have been nice to have been properly diagnosed and treated for my bi-polar etc… But that’s pretty much it.

That’s a really valid question I always ask myself as well. Especially when it comes to making big decisions.
If you’ve never been probably diagnosed with bi-polar, how do you know you are bi-polar? 🙂

This tougher to answer than I expected. I think that every path I took so far in life brought me to the place I am now and I love where I am because I finally realized that I’m in control of my life. So I would say no, I wouldn’t change anything. It took me a lot to understand and accept this! If you asked me a while back, probably my answer would have been different.

I always was shy of such things. If I have a little in common with somebody I have a little to talk about and if I have mutual interests I becoming shy. I saw many interesting people but always was too shy to keep friendship with them.
And classmates…. one: “I like Panama” (but I don’t like Panama), other: “I like Mercedes-Benz”, (and I don’t), one has adopted children and I don’t know what is a right thing to talk to people with adopted.
I am not sure I am able to change it inside me for the present.

You know there is homo-phobia in the World and probably there is “friend-o-phobia”, phobia of getting friends.
I often hear about “atomization”. I think it’s a global problem. People becoming nicer but there are few friends in the World.
I advice you to watch the movie. It’s a comedy so it’s a pleasure.
