Lost/Broken relationships with loved ones is always a difficult thing to deal with to be sure.

I honestly wouldn't change anything in my life but...I would change the way people treat others. There is a lot of cruelty in this world.

I think, if I had the chance to change anything, it would be cutting the emotional ties to my biological family a lot sooner than I did. As it was, I did try to seek emotional closeness with them even into my early 20s, and that only led to more anger and frustration.
They were not cut out to be parents.. especially parents of a kid with medical and physical problems.
I did not begin to feel better about myself until I edited them out of my life and stopped trying to have a relationship with them.

There would be one thing I would change...just one, because I love my life as it is. However, I am not going to say what that one thing is because I don't really talk about it with anyone. It's a closed door at the back of my mind with a key that has long been forgotten.

Oh boy, how many times have I fantasized about going back in time and having a talk with that young man from whom I became. In my dreams, I would make a lot of changes, but in truth, I wonder if I would have the courage to accept, those harsh parts of my life that I cannot change without running away. Fortunately, that will never be tested.

I understand how you feel a bit . I wish one of my parents was more involved in my life .It would really uplift the burden on my other parent . It can become very tough I know .

Nothing really. I love my life as it is and wouldn't want to change anything.

I want to change the current job I have now. It's tiresome. I'm dreaming financial freedom. I don't wanna work for anybody else. I want to have my own life at my own pace without anyone telling me to do this and that. ?

Wow, great question!

Generally, I would eradicate all violence - especially war.

In my own life I would like to go back to my final year at university and have more faith in myself.
