how would you change things? I would love it soo much, to go back about 4 1/2 years.. i know many things that i would do to change what has happend...
but hten i thought, witch totally crushed me that if i go back and start changing things to prevent something, other things are gonna happen, what do i do if i dont even know the person who plays he main part in why i want to go back? just call them up and have them and everyone else think i am an absolute MANIAC? it was a good thought while it lasted.. but in the end i decided i still would have gone back, would have done my best even if i looked like some psychic acting fool.. it would have been worth it, how about You?

it would be to prevent someones death due to illness, and what i was getting at was that maybe i never met him, maybe he has a gf .. but i would still do it. i would march over to his hose and be like you dont klnow me but you have to listen to me " Go T o the doctors NOW - Everycheck up everytime"ya know.. and say all the things that i want to .. and ya i know ill look crazy.. but lets say that that wasnt the case.. and that things were going about how they were, Oh our lives would have been so much better i believe, knowing what i do...

I would change only one decision I took in my entire life up to that time. Instead of stepping back from taking the Oath of Service to join the Navy on Novemeber 2, 1976, I would indeed take that oath. If I had, my entire life would have taken a different trajectory. No tellin' to what heights I would have arisen. Instead, I wimped out and the rest is history...

great question
I agree with this all being the butterfly effect, and that we would not be who we are today if we havent lived the life we have had.
BUT-
1. I would change some thing that happened when I was 13.
2. I would have changed something about my dating life when I was about 18-19
3. I would change where I chose to live when I was 23
over all, my husband and I agree that we should have waited to be married ( we married at 20) but also we agree that we would have ended up together anyway.

I am sorry for SSsweetheart's an Kveldulf...'s pain. I would have been the first answerer but, for this. Clicked on submit, and:
Oops #118 We seem to be having a little bit of data base trouble at the moment. Please try again in a few moments, thanks. I tried : got same error. Third time: new error-something about my not being registered.
Last two lines of my answer: Could I live with the memory of the children that I would not now have and the people who I would not have met? No. Time travel without memory is preferable. Hmm?

I understand exactly what u are saying here. I used to think "if only i could go back to X age and change X,Y,Z" but i dont anymore. What happens in our lives makes us the people we are today. Everything happens for a reason. These things give us insight. Make us know what to do in the future. Its much healthier to accept our past and move to the future.

That's an easy one....I would go bat to August 10, 1985 and NOT be on that road where the car accident happened that took my first wifes life. That was the one difining moment that led to the downward spiral that landed me here. Not beig in the car that day...we would have celebrated our 21st anniversary together this year instead of me remembering it, as always, alone.
Now where did i put that time machine.....

I think the only thing I regret is never marrying my first love. We got along so well, but he couldn't keep a job. I try not to think about the past since you can't change it. I just try to live for today and pray for a happy future.

Yeah, I would go back. Though I would wait till im like a hundred first. Just to see how my life would play out. Then I would go back and just have fun doing stupid stuff Ive always wanted to do in my life but never got around to.

I would buy all the microsoft stock I could get my hands on and win the lottery a few times and get a few wifes with some child support to go with it. The drinking would probably kill me because everything repeating gets so boring, how could I stop drinking?

I would not change a thing because everything I have done and said and all that has happened to and because of me have me the person I am today.

Hmmmm... I believe the author R.A.Salvatore asks this very question. The answer if I remember correctly, is not in going back but in recapturing the feeelings of joy and wonder experienced in youth. To go back would be the denial of one's self.
