If you could go back in time and change one thing what would it be?

[Shia_san]

if i could go back in time, i would wish i would be born again. then i would know all the things i know now and not make mistakes.

if i could go back in time, i would wish i would be born again. then i would know all the things i know now and not make mistakes.

what is the point in wishing that would be born again when you go to the past? and if you were born again you would still know nothing because you just wished it.

OT: I would motivate myself to learn more. though we would have a problem because i would probably be admitted to a mental hospital because i saw myself.

There's only one thing that I would go back and change. I'd stop my father from marrying my stepmother. She's the reason why I only see him three days out of the year. If I'm lucky, that is. Last year I didn't get to see him at all and haven't recieved a phone call from him in over four months.

i would stop my dad from moving. i have the habit of looking at my old home when we drive by it and the other day me and my mom we just got done shopping and we drove by it and she said that we had to let go, at the time daughtry new song "home" was on the radio and i almost cried when she said that

[~Mithrosent~]

I would go back and make it so that my mom and dad didn't meet. My dad didn't deserve to be with such a prick. She cheated on him. Lied to him. I love my dad and would rather have him not meet her and me not exist, than today. Maybe he would have lived longer too. I know that's kind of drastic but I am serious. I have such a deep hate toward my mom....I will leave it at that.

If I could go back in time, I'd murder George W. Bush. =/

[BlazingSoul]

If I could go back in time eh? Everything... Everything about myself. That way I wouldn't have believed on mere ideals and false hopes. I wouldn't believe on those who deceived me. It would have spared me the pain. I would have erased the kind and compassionate version of me, so no one will ever gain my pity and kindness. I wouldn’t have gotten close to anyone…. If that were only possible I won’t regret ever because of attachment, because of deceit, and because of… because of… I won’t ever regret and turn bitter because of the emotion what we call love… I know I sound stupid but if I know that there was still a chance or I wasn’t committed to what I felt probably I wouldn’t go for what typed above.

Aha ha ha ha ha... I have to save the first two so that I won't seem weird. They're not important and just selfish...

So, I would probably stop myself from going to church. All church did was hurt my mind (can you believe eris was right?). I would have to preserve god though...don't know how I would pull that off... The next thing I would do is stop my parents from breaking up (they still like each other they just can't get over it.). Then I would stop myself from drinking caffeine much earlier. After doing all of that I would disillusion myself so that I wouldn't grow up to be the spoiled brat that that would make me.

I have actually chosen my target in time. I've looked back through my life and I can point to a single event, actually the utterance of a few poorly chosen words that if spoken differently would change my entire life from that point on... for the better if my scenarios play out the way I imagine they would.

Now.. if I was really presented with the opportunity to do this, would I? This is actually a philosophical question I've thought about way before this thread. After much thought and playing through the possible scenarios in my mind, I probably would not. The risk of greater damage to timeline is too great. If I made that change, events might not have played out the same for my sister (who was born well after that event).. or there was the matter of a phone call I made to a friend of mine while I was alone at a skating rink begging him to come up and relieve my boredom.. well after the call and before he arrived I re-met a girl I knew years before and we really started hitting it off.. then my friend showed up and whatdayaknow.. they hit it off better and now they have 5 kids and a very happy marriage. If I were to make my change my new path probably would not have led me to the Skateland that night (or at least not in so lonely a fashion) and the futures of several people would have been at the least altered and the case of the kids, possibly erased.

Some slight comfort comes in that I believe in the Multiverse theory in that if there are an infinite number of Universes there IS a Universe where I made the right choice at that time and the events played out totally differently. So there should be a Universe (hopefully a few of them) where I end up happy. However, this life isn't over yet. To tell the truth, I would much rather be reincarnated than play this life over. I'm kinda just slacking my way through this life, I'll get busy in the next one.

OMG! ROFL! nice one then we'd never be in this war!

time to actually get serious though. when you think about it changing one thing in time could change the world it. we should never go back. if we killed bush it could be blamed on terrorists and start an even more demanding war! if it didnt have such a impact id probably want to go back in bible days and stop that snake from ever tempting eve.

[Hitsugaya389]

nothing. What is there to change? You will still make the same mistakes over and over.

[Sake!Sake!]

The not tempting eve thing would be great, but only if I could put a protective bubble over the tree so then you know...people down the road wouldn't eat them.
I hope we'd still be able to have things like Apple juice....I think I would be pretty pissed

[PigFarts]

Well, I would go back to freshman year and instead of choosing regular Algebra 2, pick the advanced class, but I didn't and now I'm not being challenged in math (which I'm good at) and I feel smarter than the teacher. Seriously, this year in Precalc, I spent the entire class doing HISTORY homework, and yet still undstood the math lesson...

...but I only have one more year of high school math, so I just gotta suck it up and deal with it...but that's all I want to change. I'm pretty happy with my present state of being.

[SailorShana04]

If i could go back in time...well at first i would want to change a lot but then when i think about it i wouldn't change anything. Those mistakes and bad things happen. I'd go back in time to see things but I wouldn't change anything. I don't want to be the person who did something and messed up the future. .....Yeah, i've thought about this subject once or twice before,i have too much time on my hands...

[*~Lily_Gemini~*]

i would change myself....everything about myself. i would be a much better person, be a better friend, be less spoiled, give love to the people who hate me, i would do alot of things. i would change how i treated people in middle school and how spoiled and preppy and how i was to everyone....<.<

[Faceless111]

I would change my body... ROCK GOLEM! No, no, no... that's just stupid... I'd be a LAVA MONSTER!

[Ichiro Matsuchani]

OMG! ROFL! nice one then we'd never be in this war!

Not true. Don't blame everything on the president, some things are unavoidable.

Going back on topic. I would take the music of the Beatles to inspire them before they even became a band. You know, to see what happens.

[DOOM!]

If i could go back into the past, i'd urinate in the Primordial soup.
That oughtta fix things up.

[Click here]

i would not try to do a 360 on a skateboard and broked my legs

[keezy.]

i wouldn't have listened to asiah anddone something stupid to my friend...

[ben01]

If only I could turn back time.. I wont let my friend meian to be gone.. now.. I dont know how can I contact her...

[Exquiro]

Am I allowed to say... nothing? I'm not trying to say I've never made any mistakes, or I don't have any regrets... But I think you've gotta accept the consequences of your actions. I wouldn't rewind even if I could

How about the mistakes of others towards you?
i.e. I think humans are a mistake, thus, i shall piss in the primordial soup to fix them!

[Ookie]

I'd be the creator of Spiderman.

On a more serious note... ^^;;;
I don't think I would change anything. There are several regrets, but also several happy moments in ones life, what if by changing history, it will cause you to loose your loved ones? Never meet a friend? Memories and experiences start from the small things in life.

Nope, people make msitakes, it's part of what makes us human. Also; lawlz
