I totally agree with this, it's something I actually say to people quite often. Whenever we get on the topic of my life growing up, people always say that they think I should have had it easier, but I always say it is what makes me what I am today! This is why I would not change most of the things. Silly little things, like getting a lasting injury from stupidity, yes, spending time with my dad, yes, but some of the real bad stuff ... no, it really does give you a perspective on life.
The past is done, the future is open. We all wish at times we did something different, that something never happened, or that we were someone else, but it cannot be changed. It's called dealing with reality, and accepting responsibility for our own actions.
Well ... I digress, but that struck a chord with me.
