If is a sad word
I think ‘if’ is a sad word, there are so many regrets and sorrow in it. If I had worked harder, I would have been a supervisor; if I had told him what I felt for him, we might would have been together; if we hadn’t had a fight, the last words that I told him would not have been ‘I hate you’.
I might would have been a dancer if I hadn’t quit practicing. I would have been happier if I had chosen the job I like not the one that paid better.
How many ‘ifs’ in your life? How many times you feel sorry for what had done or what had not done? I will try to change, I will try to tell my parents I love them because I never tell them so even though I do do love them. I will try to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life, I will try to find a job that I really like, and I will try to learn more things.
I don’t need more if in my life, do you?

Hi there! Lovely piece. Just a note about semi-colons: They are best used to divide a list into larger sections, when the list items already contain commas. Here is an example:
There are basically two ways to write: with a pen or pencil, which is inexpensive and easily accessible; or by computer and printer, which is more expensive but quick and neat.
Generally, if it's a new thought or a new piece of information that stands alone from the previous, as with your examples of 'Ifs', then a full stop its best. ;)
Enjoy!

How many "ifs" are in your life? How many times did you feel sorry for what you had done or what you had not done? I will try to change. I will try to tell my parents that I love them because I never told them, even though I do love them. I will try to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life, I will try to find a job that I really like, and I will try to learn more stuff. (stuff works here better).
I don’t need more ifs in my life, do you?
Well done! This is by far the best notebook entry I have come across on italki. However, you need some more practice comma splices.
