If you could turn back time, would you change anything? Why or why not? email this discussion to a friend?

I was listening to the song by Aqua entitled "Turn Back Time". One line goes "If only I could turn back time, if only I could say what I still hide". Many times in my life I have regretted making decisions too hastily and sometimes I do wish that I could reset the time and undo whatever I did. Were there ever incidences when you felt like you wanted to change something in the past? Or are you the kind of person that simply moves on?

If given a chance to go back in time, i would just like to try it out and see how it works. Otherwise i have no interest in going back to a stage which i have already lived before. I think living life just the way it goes is more interesting and moreover i love my life, in just the way it is.


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

Cool! You're actually the first person I've heard who simply wants to see how going back in time would work:)

There was this similar thread like yours though you differ in the the subject but it was the same content as his. And he denotes me as his best response. LOL w00t I might as well share it also to you about my views if i could turn back the time.

how i wish. but no matter how we long for it, life is moving forward. there's no more chance of turning back, that is why there's this thing called REGRETS.

well, who am i and where am i now is basically the things i did in the past that reflects my future. I didnt regret any though i became a teenage mom at the age of 16..I dont regret having him..He was even the best thing ever happened to me..


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

Really? I haven't seen the thread though! Hahaha:) Thanks for sharing!

I do agree with what you said. Even if we do long to turn back the time, life moves forward.:)

When you've made a mistake, you wish you could turn back time and undo the mistake. Many times I wish I can turn back time and undo what I've done and what I've said but of course that is so impossible and all I can do is wish and make sure I don't repeat the mistakes I did. This is what life is all about. It's about making mistakes and learning from them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

Yep, you really have to pray that you don't repeat the mistakes you've done already. It is okay to make mistakes at times. You just have to learn from them:)

If I could turn back time... Then that would be when I was 10 years old, Should have chosen those piano lessons instead of Classical guitar and Violin... Haay... And now I see some 10 year old (or even younger) performing pieces I can't perform within the next two years..

But anyway, Guitar Kicks some butt... And my friends likes to listen to me play the Guitar and Violin as well.. But for the Piano, I maybe level 3 (5 being the highest).. Couldn't stop myself from self learning..


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

Okay, you made me realize that I regret not practicing my piano playing anymore. There are times when I try to play but I simply can't remember my arpeggios and scales. I can still read notes, but a much slower pace than I did back then. I congratulate you for having the drive to learn by yourself:)

Hi Aixshaonline,

If I could change one thing by going back in time I would get myself to keep a journal, and take pictures from when I was younger. That is probably the biggest regret I have of my past, that I have no record of it. I record most of the things I do these days so that in the future I can look back and remember, but yea, I don't have that from the past. I would keep notes and booklets I did with my best friend as well. I ripped them up to clear space in my room and I regretted it instantly. So yea, those are what I would change. I will keep the bigger things, I wouldn't want to change who I have become by changing anything life changing happy

All the best,
Dranzthumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

I do agree with you! I have a journal that I had ever since I was in first grade. But sad to say, the pages are blank. I didn't know what to write in it.

If i could do that, i would not change anything on my life, i love it just the way it is, but i wish i could turn back in time just to live again, to enjoy again all that great and bad moments, cause thers only one life and in my point of view there is no life afterlife. It would be awesome!

I used to be someone with a mentality that if only I could turn back time, then it'll be great. But I realized too that if I could do that, then I'll be turn back the clock a whole lot of times, LOL. And still won't be satisfied. Life is not about rewinding, but for moving forward. I will always cherish the memories, bad or good and if it's bad, I would use it for future storage so that in future it won't happen again. If we aren't allowed to regret or make mistakes, we won't appreciate this life as much. Good discussion here..


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

Thank you:) I've always believed in learning from experiences. Though I try not to commit the same mistakes again, I sometimes end up doing them all over again! Stupid and frustrating. But then I remember a friend of mine who told me that mistakes that you end up doing all over again are simply meant to let your heart learn what it refuses to learn. She had a point actually:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. zed_k4 (4790)   ranked 694 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

So let's just freeze the clock, shall we.. wink


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

Why should I turn back time? Hmmm.. For me I don't want to. I am the kind of person that will seize the day it's gone and over. That's why I avoid the circumstances in thinking and mumbling to wasted time and asking heavens to take back time.

Whatever and whoever I am now is the product of my yesterday! And who ever makes my yesterday is only me - my sole self!

I am not easily blinded by the past I always look forward to what the future will offer!

So do the same guys! Seize each second of your life! seize your day! Live! Love and Die! Why die? For unfortunately no one is exempted for this kinf of fate....


myLot reputation of 99/100. aixshaonline (291)   ranked 2,366 out of 38,485 in life  4 months ago

That's the spirit!:) hahahha.. Carpe diem as they say!:) Seize the day!
