What would you do differently if you could start over?

I wish that I would have spent less time on trying to make others happy or worrying about what others think of me. I wish I spoke up more and advocated for my needs.

I'm trying to do this more in my 30s.

I wish I never started drinking when I was 17. That lasted until I was 35 years old. I haven't had a drink in over 11 years, but I wish I could have those years back. I worked, I had a job, I started a family, but it seems like I missed my opportunity for something else along the way. In no way do I regret my kids, but my path could have been very different in life.

@HowtoDestroyAngels @Spumoni I sure see you both on that. I'm a bit back and forth. But at the least, to learn how to tell someone no when I didn't want more. And on the other side, to tell myself no when I thought I wanted more.
