If I could go back, knowing what I know now...

This seems to be a phrase that has been brought up in many conversations.  Some more recent then others.

I look at myself now and think back to myself then.  If only I had known that my life would turn out the way it has.

Vancouver one of the top cities in the world to live in and I live here.  The sun kissed mountains, the many beaches washed by the Pacific Ocean, and a forrest in the middle of the downtown core.  It's paradise.  How did I get so lucky?

So, not only am I living in an amazing city, but I did have a pretty awesome job too.  (Which it looks like I might be getting back.  Long story short - contract was up and they were unable to re-new at that time.  Things are happening and I should know more early next week).  When people would ask what I did, the reactions were all the same.  Jaws would drop, "Wow! That must be so cool."  It was/is.  I really love this career that I fell into.  It's alot of work and a lot of long hours, but so worth it.

If I could go back, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't want the outcome to change.  However, high school would have been a hell of alot more enjoyable. 

The worst thing that I was told in high school, was at an assembly, one of the teachers told us, "These are the best years of your life!"

I remember hearing that and thinking, "This is as good as it gets?"  Not knowing any better I believed him.  I wish I hadn't.

So now that I've opened the can of worms, I want you to finish the sentence.

If you could go back, knowing what you know now...
