I wish I could go back in time...

I had this feeling many times, but I guess I remain with the feeling. I don't know what I would change, but I guess all of my mistakes and failures have had an impact on what I am today, so probably I wouldn't change anything. We need to make mistakes in order to improve ourselves, so why should we want to change them?

i would start by what if you you made a right decision every move you make or every step you take, similarly we are perfect maker but we cannot perfect everything and anything we do because no one is perfect, but every moment are happen for a reason every matter have a solution and learn every experience that we face every day to mold what we are in the present of what we are now moreover we consider it as a sweet and sour of life that we live.

Yes I long to go back to the time my Mom carried water from the frozen creek through 4 foot snowbanks to heat it on the wood stove so we could have a bath on Saturday night in an iron tub on the kitchen floor. We had no running water, no electric lights or refrigerator, or bathroom because such things were not available at that time and place. When we woke in the winter mornings there would be frost on the blankets over the bed. What a memorable time to be alive! Yes take me back to that wonderful time!

If I could go back in time, it would be to relive a great moment in time. I go and see a local band that do lots of songs. When I go, it appears that time goes very quickly. I would like to go back to the time I celebrated my birthday. I was so happy that night. Even up on stage with the band shaking that tail feather. hehe. was so funny. They are the times that I wish I could go back in time.

I will use the "Begin with the ending concept". according to this, we do not need the "what if" word, we just expect the future.

I try to reflect and discern all that I did during the day before I turn in to sleep. During the period of reflection, I ask myself the "what ifs" not in the sense of wishing to go back in time but rather in the sense of doing it better, if not faster, the next time around. My "what ifs" are intended to shape me up for the next day, even to fast-forward, if possible. I do have regrets but I don't want to go back. A better appreciation of what one has just undertaken and finished will show you immediately that you would not have experienced it if you had taken a different path in life. Adversity can also make you a better and stronger person, light years different from the original.

what if you went back in time. What if you didn't go back in time what would you've done? I believe we have these feelings of what ifs so we learn from our previous mistakes.

Yes,i did think about those "what if's" Maybe if i will be given a chance to bring back the time,i want to bring the time where i never pursue my career. I never regretted it thu,but if given a chance...i want to pursue my passion in arts and make the most of it.

I have felt that a lot in life but have learned to live with it. And the good thing is the mistakes i've had done before have taught me a lot so now when I think of it, I think it's fine and I don't really wish to go back in time.

How has not wished to go back into the past and have a second chance? I tell you what I want to - go back to elementary school and change the brat I was. Back then I was a selfish, obnoxious, really unpleasant kid. I didn't care about people, I cared about me. I was also nasty and possessive with my friends. I would get infuriated if they hung out with someone else. At the time I thought I was fine - it was everyone else who was the problem. God, I want to go back there and slap myself good - no I want to chance myself to be the complete opposite of what I was. I hurt a lot of people back then. From an early age I learned how to use my stubbornness to manipulate people into doing what I wanted. Again, I hurt a lot people. I only ended up biting myself in the rear to. I am glad to say that age has shone me the light. I wish I cold go back there and chance who I was. I wish I could undue the hurt I caused.

hello there pinkpiglet, how is your week? these "what if" questions are a bit depressing, i think. i seldom find myself asking the same question. what if dad is still alive? what if i took the cpa review and board exam? what if i pass? what if i fail? there are also several instances or events in my life that i wish i can turn or go back to... like, i wish i didn't say those words to her, i wish i kept my cool, i wish i have done this instead... these are all pointing to regrets. we cannot turn back time. that is why i love the saying that a minute wasted cannot be retrieved, so make the best out of life... i hope you have a great day friend :) - kat

Well if i can go back in the past I would have study hard in highschool. I was so laid back at that time that i didnt study even if theres a test the next day. I would always depend on my instinct and luck in answering those questions. Even now in college im still a happy go lucky person.. I always skip class if i knew that there nothing much to do in there.. I wish i could go so that i could practice myself enjoy studying. happy Mylotting :)

Just as you said,I also have many "what if's",especially for the mistake I have made in the past time.If I know something much earlier,it would be much better.I wish I could be more sensible when I was a child,so that my parents would be more easeful;I wish I could study harder when I was in the high school,so that I would get better scores;I wish ``` But everyone owns a process of growth.The mistakes,the experience,the failures consist of this process.What we have to do is to learn from the process,then we will not have so much"what if's"

Hi, Pinkpiglet, I do not think we will have so many "what if". As we know, if we start to do now, nothing will be late. We could not return to the back. We can only obtain the present, so please forget the past and catch the present to do what we should do. Since they have been done wrong, make the change at once.

hi pinkpiglet love your avatar. lol I would go back to Sept of 2008 when my son was seeing that his pay was not keeping up with our rent and utilities and insist he look for a better job as the small company where he worked seemed about to go under. I would have insisted he find another job while there were a few for computer programmers that were still out there. if he had got a better job all of the horrid things that happened his getting laid off,our getting evicted,being homeless, being separated and me here in this very boring retirement center would never have happened so would go back to July of that year and see my son got a great new computer programmer job.This would have made our lives good again and haooy again. wish this could happen.

there is a possibility that we can travel to the Future by means of Hibernation Project but no sense of coming back to the original time.... but.... there is no available reason for going back to the past.... it is impossible...

Hello. Good day! If I have to go back to the future, I will go in the time when I was studying in my high school. Back then, I am not studying well. Just like an easy go lucky person. If there's an examination, well, just good luck. If I passed, Ten thank you and if not, then better luck next time. If I am going back to that time, I will study hard. Maybe if I study hard, I maybe become the valedictorian in our class. Well, that has happened. pass is pass. We can't do nothing on it.

what if is a big synonym of regret, for me. but as you say we all have this part deep inside, i do and most of people i know do. but also can be depressive if you go deep in it we should use that what if just for tips to compare two different life style or parallel situation. go back on time i usually don't think about that honestly cause i pretty much focus on what going to happen.
