Time rewind

[Alverost]

If you could go back in time to redo one thing, what would it be? What would you do differently if you were given a second chance?

 

[Arcturus]

My third semester of college. While I learned a lot from screwing up, if I had already known better and could avoid as many of them as I could I would do so. That semester was just terrible and chaotic for me.

What happened?

.....

There are just too many instances where this could apply... even choosing an earlier instance is no guarantee that related mistakes would work themselves out. Honestly, I doubt fixing just one mistake would help improve my life in any way. Sure I'm saved from stepping one that particular landmine, but when you're in the middle of a minefield there is always 10 more with your name on it.

I'm pretty sure in everyone's life there is one instance that dictated their path for the future. An example being a terrible exam that messed up your College application. However, similar to what you said life has a lot of minefields.

Nah, as depressing as it is, my life really is one self made trainwreck after another.

 

[Arcturus]

What happened?

Ah so many things. It was a bad time in my life. Unhealthy living, injured myself, did poorly in classes, etc. I was something of a trainwreck. But I survived and was better for it. That doesn't mean I enjoyed it.

At this point I'm fully convinced 70% of people on the internet have train wreck lives.

Life just isn't fair and I think that's why the Isekai genre is so attractive. Getting do overs or a brand new world where your old one doesn't matter anymore.

Honestly, I would have had a Splendid life in a medieval setting. I could have happily sweated over a forge and anvil or pulled guard duty for some minor noble, lord or merchant. LoL but the grass is always greener on the other side. *shrug*

*Shrug*. It was a trainwreck then. Most people have at least one moment in their lives where they're struggling badly.

I wouldn't say I was spending all that much time on the internet then. It's gotten a lot better since then. I made my mistakes in college, not in high school or later in life. It cost me more money than if I sorted myself out earlier, but was at least at a point where I could still recover in a healthy way.

Personally, my life been through a lot but not as bad as other people. Being bullied in middle school to high school, first relationship ended up terribly and was full of lies. I've got a few insecurities and scars there and there. Yet I wouldn't change a thing cause there are things I appreciate a lot right now that wouldn't be possible if I were to change my past.

Go back to when I was a kid
I want to say I'm sorry, something the childish me refused to say, to someone dear to me
Even if I had to kowtow, I'd probably do it since I feel like I owe her that much. Though it could be due to a sense of guilt that ended up festering for a while but still, j would like to apologise to my friend if I could only redo one thing

 

[Nahrenne]

I would make it so I didn't go to the highschool I went to.
It has changed my personality, speech, habits and mental health for the worst.

What did you do that made you feel so guilty?

What happened in high school? If you don't want to talk about it then it's fine.

 

[Ophious]

What did you do that made you feel so guilty?

I yelled at her because she forgot a promise even though she couldn't control what was going on. I felt guilty for taking my rage out on her instead of saying good bye properly....

You can't track her down? And don't blame yourself too much, you were just a child.

It's hard tracking down someone in the after life
I've yet to go there myself afterall

I see, that's rather unfortunate

 

[FemmeFatale]

This is a loaded question for me..... I have so many skeletons. >.>

I guess there is a lot I could have done different but then I wouldn't be the person I am now. I don't think I turned out that bad..... *lols*

I think if I could do it again, with the experiences I have now, I would focus more on living life happily instead of being the little rebel I was. I would get in on the internet game early to make my mullah quick and easily; then travel the world like a gypsy, writing stories about or inspired by my travels as I went.

I might search for aliens too.... I know they are out there. >.>
