I should be If. Typing with a on-screen keyboard on a pocket pc isn’t so handy after all…

Nope. I’ve met the best girl in the world and married her. What if we didn’t happen to meet again if I started my life over?

Not if it meant everything would be the same… after more than four decades of struggle, things are finally starting to look ip for me.

There are some things I would have handled differently but to gain the same outcome. If any of it I would relive the last 10 and be more honest with myself over how much time I waste brooding about things.

No! I have a great life, and i wouldn’t change it for all the money in the world.

First of all…I do have a very good life. If I could live my life over again and correct some of the mistakes I made during this one, I would love the opportunity. I would still want to be with my husband and daughter, and if that had to change with my new life, then I would not be interested.

. That’s a pretty heavy question for someone your age to be thinking about… Aren’t you 13? I was thinking about girls and skateboarding at your age, what about you?.

I don’t like the things ‘normal’ kids like. I’m more like you are.

Girls? Well, I actually dó love someone, and really love someone, so not because she’s pretty, but she is, but that’s not where I fell for, but I don’t think I make a chance. I rather not talk about it, but if you really want to know send me a private comment or e-mail.

If I could relive my live, I would do it because of her, to be with her, hold her maybe kiss her, but sadly, it didn’t happen this life, so i will never happen.

Again, if you want more information, email me or leave a private comment.

Thank you for listening to me. I really think I mean something here. And that gives me a good feeling at school.

Davey.

Alinea 3: And to be happy with her of course. Damn memory!

klaas4's avatar

Sorry for all these corrections…

And I know that, deep in her heart she loves me too, so I will keep trying! :-)

Things are getting personal here :-)

I used to think about all the things I would change if I could do it again, but now I suspect if I had another shot at it I might botch it up even worse.

young love…what a beautiful thing:)

klaas4's avatar

Not for me, sadly.

Klaas brings up a good point—there’s lots of hope for things we can change in this life.

I’m tempted to want to correct all my past mistakes, which include many missed opportunities; those tend to be my biggest regrets. But I wouldn’t be me without those mistakes, so most of them seem strangely necessary.

@Klaas: your young love is beautiful, even if it’s sad. Good luck.

@Klaas – i remember being in a same situation as you back when i was like 11 – i was obsessively in love with a girl who was way out of my league . it went on for like 2 years untill she moved to texas. Anyways, i met her in july and i realized –
1. i could have her now (really helps your self esteem)
2. i never really loved her – i thought i did but it was just sheer attraction that took over my mind to make me believe that i was in love
3. couldnt figure out why i was in love in the first place

my advice would be if you really love her, tell her cause you have nothing to lose
if she says no, you can move on easily and you have your whole life to meet other girls who i hope will be just as nice , thoughtful and pretty as the girl you are in love with now.
also time heals all wounds – and i can 100 percent sure 10 years from now, you wouldnt recall the passion that you have for her

and for old times sake, heres the girl i thought i was in love with http://ziked.com/post/9361436

Mirza, Thanks for your advice, but I really love her. Like I said, I fell for her ‘inside’. And she already knows, ‘coz somebody told her :@

Maybe she just needs some time to think about it… Maybe I’ll try again later. :-)

I, too, am relatively young but have had a life full of rather different experiences than other people my age. There are many many things I wish had never happened to me, but now that I think about it, those things and the ways I dealt with them are what made and make me myself. I would not redo my life even if I somehow could because I would lose so much of what makes me me.
Also, my general rule for life comes from RENT: “Forget regret or life is yours to miss.” I try to live by it as much as possibble, and believe me, it makes a difference.

I have had great and interesting experiences so far through life and wouldn’t start it over again… Especially having to do exams again in school. The only reason I could see for starting again is to see what life in the womb and as a baby is like.
