Answer :

answer:I wish I had travelled more before I got serious with someone, married and had children. I don’t regret my children, but I didn’t use the time before I had them as well as I could have. I also wish I had kept a diary. It is amazing the names and things I don’t remember. Things I would have thought I would never forget.
