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.

Maybe not getting married?Yeah I love my husband and our child.But certain things I've done(still doing sometimes) because of added pressure of parenting while working in a 9-5 job are guilt tripping me.Maybe if I've stayed unmarried these things won't have mattered much.

@daddychill I think most of the middle aged females in our situation might connect to this.

@John628 More like when things I've done started to guilt-trip me(couldn't remember the age and couldn't stop those things from happening).
