I like my life. I have a nice girlfriend (if I dont mind saying myself!) and I'm about to have my first baby. My job is stable and we both earn decent money - although I know life isnt about all the material things.

If anything I'd probably put actual effort into School/College/Uni rather than just get through and take some opportunities I didnt when I was younger (dont need to discuss those here )

I would never really want to change much as I am a result of my past. Even putting minimal effort in a Uni meant I had more time for playing, drinking and other things

Maybe I'd stop myself slipping a couple of years ago, the back pain as a result is terrible.

Another thing: if I could have persuaded my other half not to have taken that horse riding lesson that day - the accident would never have happened to her, and her back would be in much better nick than it is now.

I could have not failed.

Think of it as deferred success.

You'll never be a failure to me, Edd.
