What would you do differently if you were to live the same year again and what would you do the same way?

I think for me I’d put my kids first more and leave my husband since he can’t give up drinking. Not really sure what I’d do the same since I feel this year has really been a total mess up for me.
@blueAcai236
I can only imagine what you might have been through due to his drinking, how much it changed everything at home but hope there will be a solution and hopefully he will reach out and get help. Your kids and of course you need peace and feel safe at home.
@Blueacai236 sorry for the challenges in your family. Leaving is easy to say but hard to do . Giving up hope goes against our instincts.
@amiablePeace77 what I'd keep the same is pretty much everything🙂 except for one thing, I'd study hard, I'd do better to learn how to communicate, how to be a good friend, it's hard for me🙁 I never had a conversation with anyone for 18 years, I'm still learning. But I think I just messed up a friendship here. With a guy who is very special to me😔 he lives in the dark mentally. And I do badly want to help him, but I failed
@Tinywhisper11
I find you're very hard on yourself Lola! Your communication is supportive and kind and you're a fast learner. It's hard and it takes a lot of courage to put yourself "out" and "talk" to others here when you haven't talked to people for such a long time. Hugs! Sorry to hear about that person. I am sure you did your best, but one can only show others the light but not make them walking towards it.
@amiablePeace77 yeah I guess your right ❤ thankyou ❤🙂
@amiablePeace77
I would report my stalker sooner. I would take all those grounding vacations the same.

@SummerKay2024
Sometimes we learn late for many reasons but at the end you did what needed to be done!
Sorry though for the bad experiences you had. Is everything okay now?
@amiablePeace77 I'd have the more tougher conversations with certain people instead of not forcing the issue in an attempt to keep peace. I would ask the tougher questions.
@mytwistedsoul
Keeping peace is always a good idea but not at the expense of your own well-being. Nothing wrong with asking tougher questions, one can still ask in a respectful way!
@amiablePeace77 "If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you start a war inside yourself"
@mytwistedsoul
Excellent point!
@amiablePeace77 I just need to follow through with it. Although some opportunities are no longer an option.
@amiablePeace77
I think I would spend less time doom-scrolling, and more time being creative and building skills
Thank you for sharing this question Ami ❤️ I think I'll go draw now 🖍
@WriteToHeal42
Our time here on Earth is too precious for doom-scrolling! Good idea to build new skills 👍
@amiablePeace77
Reminds me of the movie "Groundhog 🎬 Day" where the protagonist has to live through the same day (groundhog day) again and again.
He finally decides to become the best version of himself: someone who is outgoing, friendly, helpful, and pursues his talents.
