Would you go back in time?
Permalink  
 

SS talks about this a lot.  The butterfly effect.  And we always discuss how if we went back to a certain time it would change the outcome of the future.  So would you go back in time to risk changing your now life?

I put maybe.  I love the way my life is now but I sure would like my body to be a few years younger.  I mean, I'm really happy with how things have turned out for me but I wish my body still worked like it was 25!

Hard to say. I wouldn't want to change anything. But I would want to see my grandparents again. I want to spend an afternoon curled up in my grandma's lap while she reads me a book or teaches me to sew. Then take a walk in the woods with my grandpa while he tells me stories about when he was young. I would give anything to have one of those days again. But I don't want to change anything that might effect me now.

I'd love to see my grandparents again. But I wouldn't change anything. Except maybe have spent more time with them.

Maybe I could go back to 1950, buy some IBM, Apple and Microsoft stock, put it into a trust for myself,

then return to the present.

I've answered this before & it's very hard for me. I would change one tiny thing.

Nope. I wouldn't change a thing.

As hard as I made things on myself, I like who I am.

 

Psalms 139:13-16

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

 

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

It is interesting to talk about but kind of pointless to live in the past.

My life would be vastly different if I changed just a couple of choices I made in high school. I would like to spare myself the consequences of those choices, and yet I am very happy with my life as it is now.
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for everything that came before, so I guess it all worked out for the best.

Experience and wisdom are gained the second after you need it.

No, I wouldn't.

You never know what you might change that might make something else different.

Sure, I shouldn't have taken that one job--but had I not, I wouldn't be where I am. Maybe my kids wouldn't have turned out like they did.

Life is way too short to live with regrets and what ifs.

((Flan)) I too remember. When I am frustrated, I try to let it be a reminder to me.

I wouldn't change a thing about my crazy, messed up history. It's where I recieved my best education.

I don't think it's about living in the past or living with regrets. I just kind of think sometimes it's fun to look back and wonder if you had made different choices back then where would you be now. My SS watches a lot of shows about the future so we talk about this a lot. We always discuss about how he wouldn't be here if certain bad things didn't happen.

There are a lot of things I wish I did differently till I start to think that then I wouldn't have met my husband or had my kids and grandkids.

I think though it would be nice to spend some time with my parents and sister and to appreciate my youth more.

I barely survived it the first time. Why chance it?

 That's how I feel.  Everything lead me to this point.  Every mistake I made.  But I sure wish I had a young body!

I would stop my sister from being molested by a family friend. It would mean me going back to when I was around 10 years old. I would have to do school all over again, and there would be a strong possibility that I wouldn't meet my prince charming later when I am 23, but for her I would do it.

 That is beyond words.  It's really beautiful that you would do that.

Same here. Maybe not those exact same stocks or time frame. Maybe not even stocks at all. But that idea. I wouldn't change anything in my past, but I'd make my future, after I came back, nice and comfortably wealthy.
