Yeah. But I wouldn't really care. I'm still young.
Do you ever wish that you could go back in time and change the past or leave it as is
DiscoSpider said:It depends on the circumstance, I suppose.
For some things, I wish I could turn back the clock of time and do something else. For example, I wish I got into sports and martial arts at an earlier age rather than later, but I suppose it's better late than never.
For a few personal things, yes sometimes I wish I could change things of the past. There's a lot of things I regret doing but I suppose at the end of the day, you're right, from the mistakes we make we have an opportunity to learn from and grow, becoming wiser and stronger.
I think it's funny, every year I always think to myself "You were so stupid last year, you're a lot smarter now!" - I know it sounds dumb but it makes me laugh.

The one major aspect I would change if I could is I would have embraced my introversion in social situations earlier. It's so much easier for me to socialize since I have.
Stranger said:This is kind of random, but I wish I could go back to my childhood to brush my teeth properly. I should have also gotten braces as a teenager like all my normal friends. Now I'm stuck with overcrowded teeth & afraid to get the extra ones pulled out, even the ones with fillings in them, due to a mild dentist phobia

I look at my life and all of my mistakes, regrets, flaws, and failures, and I believe that they've shaped me into the person that I am right now. I'm proud of that. I'm proud of myself for being able to deal with everything life has thrown at me, and continue to.
I also believe that things will get better for me. I don't really know when, but I hold faith that it will. We all beat ourselves up about our pasts, dwelling on things we wish we'd done differently... but then we wouldn't be human if we didn't, right?

All of you who said you wouldn't change anything.... apparently have nothing you'd like to change... I can't see how anyone would not want to change things, if given a chance. Theres always some editing to be done, a change here and there for the better. I guess the edit button encourages mistakes though.
