It's an age old discussion: if you could go back, what would you do differently? There's so much I would want to change in small scale and in a larger picture, a lot more positive habits I would have liked to have learned (liked remembering birthdays, etc). I would have liked to have stuck with baseball a little longer and treated my friends better.

Most of all though, I'd like to have a better appreciation for how good things were then, so that I could have developed a sense to realize how good things are now. Looking back, I do tend to fondly remember the positive aspects of my life, even during the worst times. I'm having a hard time seeing the good of today and imbuing the past with a little more significance than I should.

Oh, if you're curious, the fortune cookie that inspired this rant:

"You are dear in the hearts of many. It is wise to let them be dear to you"
