If I had my life to live over,
I'd try to make more mistakes next time.
I would relax. I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I have on this trip.
I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic.
I would take more chances, I would take more trips.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers,
and watch more sunsets.
I would burn more gasoline. I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I am one of those people who lives
prophylactically and sensibly and sanely,
hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my moments
And if I had it to do over again, I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments,one after another.
Instead of living so many years ahead each day.
I have been one of those people who never go anywhere
without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a
raincoat, and a parachute.
If I had to do it over again, I would go places and do things.
I'd travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live over, I would start barefooted
earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall.
I would play hooky more. I wouldn't make such good grades
except by accident.
I would ride on merry-go-rounds.
I'd pick more daisies!
The song I was listening to was called Rooftops by Lost Prophets.

Before you comment please listen to the song it is actually pretty good, but what I am asking is what would you do differently
in you life if you could do it over again.
Personally I have made a couple mistakes in the past which I would prefer to change maybe make some new friends, see other
people's perspectives. But hey I am still young my future is yet to be set in stone. I want to live, I want to be able relax and not
worry about anything. I want to be able to sit back and watch the sunsets. I want to be able to have a life where I can make mistakes,
and take chances. I am afraid of the future because I don't know how in our society to achieve a life like this.
Feel free to express what you want in life, or how you would do thing different, or even how you would suggest I accomplish
my goals because personally I am stumped on what to do.

Life
I was listening to some music earlier today and one of the songs reminded me of an old poem my Grandma had always said. It was about life and what the writer would do if she could do it over again.

That was an awesome song, and a really cool poem--with a lot of the same ideas. I think I wouldn't change anything if I could, with my life at least, where it is now. But I'd like to do something different with whatever time's left; who knows how long? I'll probably argue my point more instead of letting everyone else think they've won. I'll also follow through on every promise, even if I didn't make it. And I'll definitely be screaming and picking daisies and probably carry a parachute everywhere, because I've always wanted to use one. Anyone want to organize a bridge-jumping contest? Also, I think I will be more likely to tell people off when I really think they need it. (Honestly, the human race has enough issues, and yet some people spend every second of the day whining! I will be telling them to shut up unless they really should be whining, which is also possible.) But I'll also be listening more. I don't know to who or what, or for what, or who. But I'm adding listening to my list.
I only have one suggestion to get you started on your goals: Stop caring about society--they have their issues because they have goals just like yours--or mine, or anyone else's--but can't make themselves achieve them.
What I meant about society was that in our day and age it is hard to find the ability where you can be able to have this and still live. (House/Shelter, money, food) Oh well I am sure my life will turn out what ever way I want it to naturally. (Even if I have to do a lot of work for it to happen)LOL

Wow that was deep. I did not know you to be that deep. Thanks for that anyway I understand what you are saying, and I will succeed in my goals (including that last one!) There is no point in life, so it is not hard to screw it.
Thanks for the insight Smo.

Just a tiny up-date on my "live my own life my own way" status:
I STOPPED CARING ABOUT SOCIETY! They can all go die for what I care, (OK, maybe not DIE, just go on and extended vacation for a few months without my knowledge) and I am far happier now.
Smiles,

Awesome, not exactly what I had expected but at least you are honest!

What did you expect? I wouldn't give advice I can't follow.
