If I could I would change the passed.. I would go back and fix my mistakes, spend more time with my dad and fix it so that he could still be with me here today.. There are so many things I would have done differently..

You shouldn't hate your life, life is precious. Just read this girl's story, because I doubt many people have had this much trauma, and she is still loving life! If you did have this much trauma, you should take her advice. She says that LIFE IS GOOD, and she is a better person because of her trauma.

Let me see, I agree with alfie, I would rather see the future. That way I can know what's going to happen, and change it before something bad happens. If I was to change the past, however awful it may have been, I wouldn't be the strong person I am today.

I would have to say that I would rather change the past because losing my mother at ten years old is the hardest thing that I have suffered. If I could change the past, she would still be here with me now. But no amount of seeing into the future would bring her back to me.

My answer to that is neither. Being totally here, focused in the present moment is far a more powerful experience, as I can realise that now is all there is - the rest is an illusion. :-)

The former; forewarned is forearmed, right? I think it'll be a hassle to change the past since a lot of what happened in it helped you grow into the person you are now. Looking forward into the future seems much more exciting thing to do.

I would rather see the future because the past is done and over with. There would be no point in trying to go back and try to change it at all. I would rather see what is about to come and change some few things if I can.
