Thanks for this thought provoking question.
I wouldn't want to relive my life the exact same way. Though of course there are things I would have done different, things that ended up hurting people I loved at the time. Bit I realize that now, not then. But life experience and knowing we only have one shot at it makes us learn things from things we may not of done how we would do them today. We made the best decisions we could at the time. We had less life experience when we made earlier decisions.

This is the beauty of not being able to live life over or do things differently. We learn from the life experience and hopefully in learning from each lesson we become a better person. After all life is not a race to get to the end, its a life learning process that is very valuable and should never be taken for granted.

I think someone is either a liar or has a too high opinion of themselves if they wouldn't change anything. No one has a perfect life. Everyone has made mistakes that the wouldn't make again if they could redo the situation.

As for me, the changes I would make if I could do it again center around how I've treated some people. I don't think I'm a bad guy and I try to do good things, but in the past I haven't always done right by others. I wish I could go back to the tenth grade and change the way I treated my first girlfriend. She was a sensitive girl who trusted me, and I toyed with her feelings and dumped her with zero compassion. I wish could go back and spend more time with my aunt before she died instead making excuses that I had better things to do. I wish I could go back to when I was 16 and not let my cousin get locked up buying weed for me. I haven't always done the right thing to people. So I try to do right now and will in the future.

Some parts I would definitely love to relive but some I would wish were erased from my memory. They are the events that had a major negative impact on my life and my relationships. I think not having those "experiences" would have avoided a lot of the pain of realization I experienced late in my teens and later into young adulthood.


CAT: That was a beautiful answers. It really got me thinking. I would agree with you in terms of the choices I made MYSELF. But the negative experiences I had were out of my control and still wish would vanish in to thin air. Of course, I have firm belief that God doesn't give us more than what we can handle. And so, maybe the things I went through as a kid were painful to accept yet, they made me the person I am today... which is being much stronger and wiser than before the realization.

No, I'd definitely want to make a lot of changes. A whole lot of them. If only I could. But if I could relive my life at a certain point, I would relive the past couple of years, because while it has been rough, I have been so happy.

There is one thing and one thing only that I would change. I lost a lot of weight (which was a good thing for me) but then I slacked off and gained twice as much as I lost.

HOWEVER...

If I had kept it off, I probably would be in a COMPLETELY different place right now, and who's to say it would be better? You never know what the long term effects of your decisions are.

So with that in mind, I'd do it all over again, because this is the only outcome I'm sure of.

I would definitely want to relive my life exactly the same way I lived it with only one little change a ton of money in my bank account.

As many mistakes as I have made, I would not change one choice, one action, one thought, one word.... for one reason only...

Every moment of my life whether right wrong or indifferent brought me to where I am now, but more importantly, gave me what i have... three beautiful children that I would not trade for all the second chances in the world if it meant changing my destiny and being without one of them.

i don't think of we shop living a similar life many times lower back, if that have been the case then why could I be sitting right here, listening to the music "right here We bypass lower back" by utilising Demi Lovato, a clean music, and typing in this laptop, if i did not try this while Lincoln exchange into president? i think of the rationalization we've Deja Vu is with the aid of the fact in spite of if we don't be attentive to it, little issues that are going to ensue to us are available visions. only our psychic area attempting to come back with the aid of. I do beleive in reincarnation nevertheless. On my first trip to Washington DC, and my associates, we've been on Mt Vernon, and impulsively she suggested, "men, i be attentive to that i've got been right here earlier, each thing is strictly desirable the place I submit to in thoughts it being." there exchange right into a tale approximately some lady named Charlotte or something, who lived on Mt Vernon, and that i exchange into like, "possibly your that Charlotte lady who lived right here while George Washington did." the rationalization I beleive that's with the aid of the fact the place could your soul bypass when you died? I recommend, YOUR soul is going to heaven or hell, however the souls below those I beleive bypass to different bodies. i'm hoping this exchange into what you needed.
