is there any small memory that you wish you could change?

Question

7 years ago, I was in New York City. While I was there I went down the subway. I met this homeless lady. She was begging for money from me. Due to her behavior i thought she was on crack or some other drug. But then, she started irritating me. I started to fluster. Then she started chasing me out of the subway. I completely lashed out on her. 3 years later, i learned that she was mentally challenged somehow (by discovery channel). Now i want to go back and help her. I feel so bad



Is there any memory you would like to change?

Answer 1

yeah, it's really sad. many homeless are actually mentally ill. i dont know about small, but i do want to change every mistake i've made and get it right. Better yet, i'd like to avoid present and future mistakes because I suppose i'd have a better chance of controlling them than my past.

Answer 2

Yeah, a couple really tiny memories.
When I was a kid, maybe 13, I was hangin out with some dudes.
I was hangin out at ones house and they wanted me to stay and drink with them, I'm straight edge so I don't do that.
I wish I could go back and either tell myself not to hang out with them, or tell them that their going to end up loser wastoids.

Then, I don't remember how old I was, I drove by and gave these hobos a blanket. about a week later, with worse weather, I saw them in the same spot without the blanket, then again a week later! It made me mad and it made me feel differentley about some people. I wish I could erase that memory from my mind.

Answer 3

There was snow on the ground and it was snowing like mad. My friends came over and I went out to talk to them. They wanted me to go with them and my grandpa said no. I ran out and jumped in the car anyway. As we drove down the road I saw Grandpa trying to chase us down and we just drove faster. I would, today, not have gotten in that car in the first place. It's one of my worst memories!

Answer 4

that is a pretty big memory, i dont know about changing a memory i think that they way you react to stuff throughout the years is what makes you who you are today, but if i absolutely change one i would change the day i found out i had a brain tumor and had to have emergency surgery, but i think that situation helped me make who i am today

Answer 5
