I don't think there's any point regretting the decisions you've made in life.
If I could go back, I would change things, but then I wouldn't know where I would be right now in life.
I think we all wish we had said or done something that we didn't, but it's these experiences that shape us as people and affect our future decisions.

Never, I have made some stupid and ****** up mistakes in my life so far, but they have made me what I am today.
If anything I would re-do (undo) the argument I had with my now ex girlfriend on holiday last year, but who knows, without this maybe I wouldn't have sought help for my anger issues, in 3 years time I could have been in a loveless relationship and not be a nice person to be with (nice way of putting it).
I guess I hope that everything has happened to make me a better person, if it hasn't well then I am ******.

I don't think my decisions would have mattered, I believe life was out to get me either way.

Ah well sometimes you've just got to accept that life wants to do dirty great poops on us.

1990 probably ... When the pretty girl in the year above me asked me out this time say yes instead of chasing after someone else who was never going too and when asked if I wanted to audition for another, higher level, orchestra say no instead of spending far to much of my time for the following year at rehearsals with people I didn't like because it was expected of me and meant I ended up getting worse GCSE grades due to having little time to do school work.
In the long run I doubt anything would really change in my life but it would have made that period a lot more bearable.

Similar, maybe then I would not be a nearly 30 bitter angry lonely guy who spends his Saturday nights in drinking.
I guess it could be worse, I could have a poor taste in alcohol.

1975 for me. I was 14 years old and my first job at Mac Fisheries where I worked for 1 hour every night after school and two hours on Saturday mornings.
I remember the Salvation Army playing Christmas songs outside the shop, the staff were wonderful people and we had so much fun, only downer was the place was haunted.
Then on to the Ska era, luvly jubbly times.

If I could go back knowing what I know now, then for me, I'd go back to July 2000, to the day I collected my GCSE results, and do pretty much everything I did since then differently.
For one, I wouldn't bother going to sixth form college. I only went because I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself, and going there postponed making a decision for two more years, that and I went simply because most of my friends were going. Instead I'd get a job doing pretty much anything, and save as much money as I could until I turned 18, at which point I'd apply for a Merchant Navy engineering officer cadetship, which is what I'm doing now. If only I'd had the foresight to do this back then, then I wouldn't have got sucked into the maw of call-centre, then office work that I did, that did nothing more than make me utterly stressed out, miserable and pile on weight.
Although I'm at last headed in the right direction, I feel like I wasted what should have been the best decade of my life, and I can't help but feel bitter regret about the decisions I did (or rather didn't) make looking back.

Unfortunately we don't have to accept that.

I'd go back and make all the same mistakes and miss all the same opportunities I did before.
Because if I had any intention of changing I'd just change, and enjoy the next 20 years rather than dream about what I could have done in the last 20 years.

Would have Joined the Marines when I was 20 rather than falling in love with a women for 6 years who I never ended up marrying.

Think it's more about what you would have done with hindsight, knowing what we know now. Nothing wrong with dreaming either fella, dreams lead to reality in some cases.
TBH your just sounding a bit of a smart ass
No, sometimes we have to accept life wants to poop on us. It's how we deal with it that defines us as a person and whether we want to sit back and accept it or get up and do something about it!!
