DO or NOT DO something different, would you?

I have watched Back to The Future (I,II,III), Forever Young, and Sliding Doors. All of them show us something about the characters wanting to make different the outcome of their lives by going back in time and changing something they either did or neglected to do. I think about my life and I too come up with ONE thing of all my regrets that I would definately do differently. Yes, I would erase who I am now, but I am quite sure I would be a better person than wwhat I am. Yes, I would have had an entirely different life and therefor be different. But you se, that is what I would want to have happen! My life different, me different, both better because of life being better and the way it should have been!

hey, don't kick yourself don't erase yourself or want that you have MANY MANY MANY good qualities, people like you, depend on you, love you, etc. accept who you are now and what your life is now, do some reflecting maybe too, unwind (reverse engineer) how things got to this place you thnk is so bad, figure out why, maybe you made mistakes, maybe people messed with you, then orgive yourself, the challenge is to make the best move now, whatever the situation is, like chess maybe you win, maybe not, make the best move you can anyway don't ever give up, be something good and then be something better, if anybody tells you that you can't, including your own pessimistic self, don't listen to it, rest an hour first if you have to, then make a good move, any good move, small steps, don't despare, just make a small good move

Thank you...but I have tried all those positive things, and still the pain has only gotten worse. I appreciate and see what you are saying...but I still wish I could go back and re-do that decision process I badly failed those years ago. Yes, I'd be a different person than what I am now because my life would have been different. But you see that IS exactly what I would want to be!
