Everything happens for a reason.  Everything that happens is a product of preceding events.  Including the choices you make.  You guys need to get over these regrets, because whatever happened in the past was inevitable.  You could not possibly have made other choices, because every choice you made was made for a reason.  All your choices were caused.  Maybe by your environment, your upbringing, the people around you, or your genetics.   Free will is an illusion.  So forget about regrets.  Everything that happened was inevitable.  And everything that's going to happen is inevitable, too.  You're just playing your part in this big show called "life."  But your lines are already written.

Okay, back to the thread.  I would not want to turn back time and do anything different, because I like where I am now, and I could see where if I did the tiniest thing differently in the past, things might have turned out completely differently for me now.
