Do you ever wish you could go back in time?

I loved this movie because he could pause life, or go back to a certain time in life. How much fun would that be to be able to go back in time to fix the major problems in your life when they started. I wish I could go back to 2003 when I had my accident. I would not have had that stupid accident and I'd still be able to work. I don't miss getting up and going to work, but I do miss making my own money and supporting myself. Anyone else wish they could do that too?

I don't regret any of my choices or the things I have done. But it would be nice to go back in time and change a few things, like when my hubby said we should buy a home instead of rent, we would have been in a better area, probably been in a better financial situation. Other than that I love my life.

LOL I know that feeling. I wish my hubby would have listened to me last year when I said we were APPROVED for a home loan so let's look and he said NO! Now he wants to look and buy a home and we could have been in one last year! All Well at least that is finally happening now

Not in my time. I might not be where I am today if I went back and changed things. I would not mind going back in time to see my Grandparents, but I would not want to live in that time period.

You know, sometimes I do, and other times I wonder if it would be like the Ray Bradbury stories where things got totally changed because of one small thing. But I would like to go back on a few things... I'd like to go back and not run underneath the garage door and mess up my teeth for one thing.

I wish I could go back in time also and change alot of things. I do not mind working from home but I do not make as much. Gas is so expensive though and I got tired of being drove nuts in the workplace every day too. There are so many things I wish I could change though but it is what it is now and I try to make the best of it. I wish you luck in your future too.

Thank you Steph and Thank you for the reply. I work at home too now, and you are right, it doesn't pay much.

There are moments that I pause and think about the "what could have beens" in my life. With all honesty, I could say that there are really moments in my life that I would like to go back to. There are things that couldn't have taken place "if only..." But I think that I am who I am now because of all the things that happened in my life. I am afraid that if I will change or alter one thing in my past, things will not be as good as it is now.

You are right, some things wouldn't be in your life if somethings didn't happen. I just would like to go back to May 24th 2003 and see that stupid Strawberry on the grocery store's floor and avoid it this time! I slipped on it in 2003 and nothing came of the lawsuit! Been in pain ever since and I have scoliosis and NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT! So I would rather change that because that is when my life started down hill. Thanks for the reply

Thank you aleth13. I don't know I have been hurting for almost 5 years now. Doesn't want to leave, so trying to do something about it now. Dr. released me with a no guarantee treatment would help.

After I read your question I sat here and thought of what I would do if I could go back in time. I can't really think of anything that I could change that would make life much more different than it is now. I think I would be afraid to change anything. One little change might take something good away in my life that I have now. Like for example, I have 3 beautiful kids. If I change something in my past, it might alter my life to the point where my husband and I wouldn't have got together and I wouldn't have my kids. I think I'll chose to stay with how things are.

Thank you for the reply. I know you are right, I just want to erase May 24th, 2003 from my life.
