The decision to try to fit in. I didn’t realize the ones I were trying to fit in with were monsters. I don’t want to be a monster like them anymore. The next time they’re around me, I will be myself. I’d rather be the weirdo who sticks out like a sore thumb than a monster who likes to eat off other people just cuz their own life sucks.
Mazl:
I chose to discontinue seeing an eye specialist who was suspicious of something going on in my eyes…
After a few years of ‘time wasting, inconvenient, expensive appointments’, I decided to cancel all future appointments. Unnecessary – so I thought !! A racket!
Worst decision of my life!
Had I continued with the checkups, he would have picked up the trigger and then the acceleration of my vision loss and saved or at least slowed down the deterioration. Driving through red traffic lights and words and music notes disappearing off the page were my only symptoms. On returning to a specialist, I was told I had about 18 months of sight left at this rate.
Surgery saved a lot but couldn’t restore what was lost. Because of my earlier decision, I can no longer drive a car, do the music I used to etc… but I am a lot fitter from all the walking, more compassionate and, I like to think, a better person.
And – certainly more respectful and grateful to the medical profession!
Karen:
I would have stayed in the hospital two years ago when they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me and didn’t want me to go home. I didn’t have insurance, though, and was afraid of never being able to pay the bill. Now I am still battling the symptoms and trying to get through life.
Stephanie:
i dunno. On one hand I can come up with one or two things I would have done differently had I know how things would go. There are however consequences with every decision, even when we decide to take the better of the two choices.
No matter what we are given, no matter the proverbial hand we are dealt, nothing is ever going to be perfect. “Every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser.” How each of us plays the hand and what we do with it is what defines us.
shipra:
not investing in property at right time
A:
I wouldn’t give in to peer pressure…
Navyshebee:
Mo regrets, we make decisions based on the information and lessons we have learned in the past. there are things i think I would change but then the future which i have now which is beautiful and full of life and laughter would be very different. a very difficult question.
Actually, though I have made plenty of mistakes in my life, every decision of mine has made me into what I am today. And I would not change that for the world.
Teacher Shiel:
Treat all my health issues and live a healthy life.
Unbelievaburgers:
I won’t commit suicide again. Three times is plenty, and this fool don’t got time for that no more.
Ria:
A decision to cut a friend out of my life. After a few years of growing up I realize I was in the wrong too and immature. I’m sorry I don’t have that friend anymore.
sapphire13:
I would not tell my self that I am unimportant, and I would make it so that I was the kind of person that my younger self would be proud of
Jarvis:
I love this picture! I want to be in this place.
Heather:
Nothing. Every one of the decisions that I have made brought me to this moment and I would not change anything because then I would not have the life I have.
Even the smallest decision could change your future. And my life now is amazing, fabulous man and my dream job! How could it get better than that???
M.E.:
Attending the university I am at now.
Jude:
To not date a STUPID man!
Jim:
To not tease
JRB:
I would not have stayed in abusive relationships.
Jacey:
Not telling someone about the abuse earlier. Maybe I wouldn’t be so broken now.
