Don't know what I could have done differently as I tried to help my mother as much as I could. Could have been more sympathetic to my sister, though.

Never had any doubt or guilt. Back then when someone tried to push me in a direction I didn't want I told them to back off and if they liked that direction so much then they should be pursuing it for themselves. Leave me out of the equation. I've always boogied to my own beat, no one else's. I don't apologize. I don't try to fit in. No one should. Be who you were born to be. :)Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-31922174981377355782014-10-05T09:13:24.503-04:002014-10-05T09:13:24.503-04:00I would have told my 8-year-old self the same as y...I would have told my 8-year-old self the same as you would have--to not be so afraid to pursue my dream. And also not worry so much about what others think of me. And to have more self-respect. It took almost a lifetime to learn these things, but maybe that's what it's all about, learning as you go. I think sometimes about going back in time and changing things I did or didn't do, but if you change one thing, other things change, the domino effect. Maybe it's best to leave the past alone.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-55651761089966761942014-10-05T07:07:19.040-04:002014-10-05T07:07:19.040-04:00I think the fantasy to believe that there is one d...I think the fantasy to believe that there is one defining moment in your life that made you the person that you are is a little over-reaching but it made for a very cute movie.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430750954598484156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-63407213509023993322014-10-05T02:54:59.381-04:002014-10-05T02:54:59.381-04:00Paris, I think all of us second guess our choices ...Paris, I think all of us second guess our choices through life, but it is what it is. <br /><br />Possibly, we would have done things differently if we knew what we know now then.
