If you could put your life in reverse or go back 5, 10, or 20 years, would you?
And, in your honest opinion, what would you change and would it be worth it?

My question as well. If I reversed it, but still didn't know then what I know now, it really wouldn't matter. I'd probably make the same dumb decisions...but if I made a poor decision and knew about it. then I'd probably make a different choice the second time around.Depends on a few things. Would I remember everything that occurred those years I'm choosing to reverse? If not, I'm not sure much would change for me. I would still make most of the same decisions as I do not really remember making too many terrible choices.
Its a hardknock life.Many things I would change if i knew....one, i definitely had a bad relationship around age 19-22 that I am sure I would not have nearly killed myself over, not literally but in terms of running around state to state trying to keep up with this chick.
The whole time she was sexing another guy...
Worst thing was that she was telling me stories of this "friend" that she had who was in a torn relationship with this "guy from the military" and a boxer...wow!
When I finally found out the military guy was supposed to be me and the boxer was this bodybuilder guy from atlanta, in the stories, and I thought back about what she had been telling me for the past 16 months, I nearly went insane.
Imagine the love of your life telling you all these things about some friend and two other guys and finding out the whole time she was talking about you, herself, and the guy she was cheating with.....imagine the shyyyyt that she told me. Then when I thought about the damn advice I was giving her to tell her friend and finally realizing I was giving her advice about what to do concerning ME, her, and her cheat mate!!
I lost 5 years of my life due to depression after that debacle. I didn't break out of that slump until around 26. From 19 to 26, most of those "GREAT" times that everyone lived, I lived stuck in a room...
The descion to make a left or right at the time only seems like a few feets but really down the road you see where you went wrong cause instead of being a few feet of your miles off. Basically what im saying is you dont realize the small mistakes you made that really altered your life till later down the road.It's always odd to realize how much taking a left vs taking a right turn can change the course of what is to come ....
Even down the road I don't think you necessarily know. Has anyone even seen the movie "Butterfly Effect"?The descion to make a left or right at the time only seems like a few feets but really down the road you see where you went wrong cause instead of being a few feet of your miles off.

That is so true i mean i can say o i wish i could change something but i dont know where id be now if i did. I guess if you believe in stuff like Destiny and stuff like that everything happens for a reason, but granted theres stew a few minor things that i think back i could change and if wouldnt have much effect. But at the end of the day we did what we did and we have to live with it and currently im just fine the way i am.Even down the road I don't think you necessarily know.

Essentially, what you thought was a horrible mistake at the time, like for example smashing the bumper of mom's car into a tree the first time you tried to drive, may have actually saved your mom's life cause she couldn't drive the car while it was in the shop and thus she never got hit by that truck.
I mean I'm creating an insane example but you get the point. You could go back and change some "mistake" you made only to realize that something more tragic happened because you didn't make that mistake. Don't live in the past. Mistakes are part of life. You got to just move forward.
yeah bro you know what they say - "Live for today becuase yesterday is gone, and tommorow may never come."That is so true i mean i can say o i wish i could change something but i dont know where id be now if i did.

What an insiprational saying that seems like signature material. I wish i thought of that mfg:yeah bro you know what they say - "Live for today becuase yesterday is gone, and tommorow may never come."
