    That life is life. There are some things that you cannot change. The only thing you can change is your response to the situations. Knowing this would have helped me out a lot when I was younger and eased a lot of sleepless nights.

    Lexi, I feel the same way. My grandpa just died in January and I struggle with those feelings every day. It was only at his funeral that I realized just how awesome of a person he was and just how much of his personality lives on in me (especially the stubborn side!).
    I'm only 22 and there's already so much I wish I would've known just a few years ago... how much gossip can hurt, some friends aren't worth trusting, and to really think things through before you take a risk.
    I know the feeling... I know that you will feel a lot of this (since your gradnpa just died) but time heals... it wont make it go away, but you will be able to handle it better. I have always had a soft spot for grandpas...they are the best and they are sometimes better than fathers. When I was little, I used to wish that he would walk me down the aisle one day (instead of my dad) but now thats not possible...
    Ahhh gettin emotional here... lol

    Im glad though, that we all learn so much in short amounts of time. Yeah we can repeatedly make mistakes, but eventually we learn. I know I have.
    omg..talk about getting emotional. I'm just getting home from the hospital, where my grandfather has been these past 2 weeks. I've been there every day, since i've been back home from school, staying from morning until evening. I dont want to get into all the details of his condition, but it is SO incredibly hard to just sit there and watch my grandfather deteriorate (mentally and physically). But at the same time, i cant seem to leave his side. *sigh*

    heh..i dont want to go off on a tangent...so i'll stop. but i do agree, you dont know what you've got til its gone. I wish I knew how precious time is with the ones you love...and also how short that time can be...

    Ooooohhh...big hug!!

    Just make sure you tell your grandpa each and every day how much you love him. Talk with him about all the things that you did with him that mean so much to you. I lost my grandfather (gosh...13 year ago). He died suddenly...and I never got to tell him how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. There was so much I wanted to say and never had a chance to tell him. Don't lose the chance. You won't regret it...and he'll feel so much better knowing how much he means to you.

    Sorry...just started crying...I'm going to log off and go meditate.

    Lots of hugs and love,
    Venus

    When I was younger, I wish I would have known that giving to others is noble only when you have adequately provided for yourself first.

    Hmm...specifically for age 12, it would have been great to know that cribbed jeans were just a fad....I spent wayyyy too much time trying to fold and cuff them just right.

    At age 19, I would have made sure not to rush through undergrad studies...I could have gotten more out of things had I not graduated early.

    In general, life has reminded me that although it's cruel, it's not always personal. Not everything is an offense against me.

    Wow....everyone is so philosophical on this thread

    LOL Damn.. I wish I really knew what I thought I knew back then. Mainly, I wish I had known that just because a guy asks you to marry him, it doesn't mean you should say "yes" LOL. That would've saved me 7 years. But hey, at 16, you know it ALL right? lmfao.

    I also wish I knew that childhood shouldn't be rushed through. It seems that when you're young, you're in such a hurry to grow up, and you don't enjoy being little. I'm making that different with my kids though, they enjoy every second. And, occasionally, I take off my shoes and splash in the mud puddles with them also

    If I knew at 19 what I know now, I would already be retired on a beach!

    Wow I have so many regrets I don't know where to start or how to even summarize them. I guess I wish I'd known then that life gets harder as you go along, not easier.

    i wish i had know early on how malicious...pretensiouns...manipulative...and heartless people really are...

    i would have saved myself from a lot of grief...hurt feelings...betrayed trust...time wasted on people who didn't give a damn about me....and i would have been more reclusive earlier too...

    i wish i had know early on that people tend to take advantage of the nice and kind hearted...i wouldn't have been so nice back then either...
    Why do some people still have to fight...to get the same opportunities...that are given to others??...

    Look out for self...because noone else will...AND
    The greatest revenge in the world...is success...

    Reclusivness...is a good thing.

    I would have studied more in earnest. I would have worked harder earlier so I could work less later. I would have started my own business earlier.

    I would have approached the world with more confidence, because I've found out that people can actually be won over with personality and fair dealing. I would have a much better bullshit detector earlier in life and not wasted time on unproductive people and schemes.

    Mostly, I would have been better directed because so much of that crap I thought was important back then really isn't.

    I wish I would have known that all men were assholes.... my mom was always telling me but I never listened. I threw away so many dreams that I can never get back because I let my heart get in the way. Now I am bitter and lonely and feel like I will never heal from it. I wish I never would have let myself be held down by abusive bastards who get their kicks from breaking down people who actually have ambition and goals.

    These are things I wish I knew (or actually followed)...........

    You must take care of yourself first before you will be of any genuine help to others.

    Just because you are a friend to someone does not mean that they are your friend.

    Depend on no person but yourself............oh yeah........all this crap we call life is nothing but a damned illusion anyway.

    Things I wish I knew:

    1. Picking up and moving across the country doesn't help, and doing it just one more time for the eigth or ninth time isn't going to help either.

    2. People who think they just want to take care of you really want you to take care of them, and probably not in a good way.

    3. Drugs are bad for you.

    4. What you do now WILL affect the rest of your life. Good things and bad things

    5. What you want, you can have it.

    6. Just do it.

    I'm very glad that I saved money when I was younger. It's nice owning my house free and clear because I worked hard a few years ago.

    I'm also glad that I made most of the mistakes I made - they were learning experiences, even if I am a little tough headed LOL

    I really don't wish I was any different or knew any better than I did back then, my mistakes and my accomplishments made me the person I am today and if I were to change anything I would prolly be different than I am now....I likes me just the way I am

    I wish I would have known how many bottles of advil I was going to go through as an adult, I would have saved that allowance money.
