If you could turn back time ... What time would that be for you?

If you had the ability, the power to turn back the hands of time ... then what period in history would you want to return to? Before your own birth? Before the last ice age? or just a few years ago before you made a big mistake that hurt somebody that you love and you just wanted to do it different to make things better?
If I could turn back time I would return to the days of my youth and I would be better acting towards my parents, my brothers and sisters and instead of joining the band and playing trumpet, I would have taken art classes until I mastered oil painting, free hand and also I would have taken piano lessons. Yea I would also have joined the boy scouts and got a part time summer job so save up for the future and I would have taken better care of my health and not drank so many Dr. peppers and I would have read more educational books so I could have a degree by now instead of a little bit about a lot but no degree. I would have been a better acting person and gone to church more and did volunteer work to name a few things. But I can't go back in time so what would you do if you could ...
turn back time? would you try to prevent someone you loved from being hurt? Well, would you?

I think in many ways I have to agree with you. Everything happens for a reason and when we look back we realize how things that took place, however good or bad, did shape us into what we have become, so in that respect, hind sight is 20/20.

I liked Middle School the best. That was when bell bottom pants were in style and long hair was acceptable. I played trumpet in the band and it was a lot of fun. Made many friends and some enemies, lol. But those were good times for me.

@librarygeek1980 Hmm. Back in the 90s I was into Corel Draw 5.0 A very good graphics application for doing 3-D and texture mapping and perspective drawings. Do you remember those checker shoes from Fast Times from Ridgemont High? People wore those and also those parachute pants? Some kind of fad that was.
Everyone is guilty of falling in with the Sheeple of their time and dressing in god awful ways. You're guilty of it and I am as well. Take for example the

I would go back to the beginning of my marriage and not make some mistakes that were very hurtful. But by God's grace, we will celebrate 51 years on Sunday and we're happier than we've ever been.

@lookatdesktop Thank you. I think it's good to realize what we should have done differently, but hopefully that helps us to make wiser choices in life.

@1creekgirl , Yes, that thought did occur to me, as hind sight is 20/20 and from the wisdom of old age comes grace as we try to do better to make up for past transgressions.

So difficult for me to pick a moment. Maybe go back to that time when I could have guarded my heart (and myself) from being broken.

Such things everyone of us has like a special moment or place in time we once were at a turning point in our lives. A broken heart takes much time to mend.

@nottoooldtowrite , Yep. Some wounds are very deep and take a very long long time to heal, if ever.
