Just a thought that ran into my mind, what if you were given a chance to go back to your childhood with the at present memories and knowledge all along with you..would you go for it or do you like to live the present life as it is. what would it be? as for me surely i would go for it with my memories along with it, and undo my mistakes done in past..i dont know what is right in your idea..share your thought on this?

I wish I could go back if just for a little while to be with all the people I have loved and lost like my grandparents and my mother.I had a sweet child hood and miss it bad at times...At the same time now though I have to sweet kids that I would not want to leave...

If you go back i dont thing you would want to return back, i too missed my precious people and i know how it would be, but as in your case its better to stay the way you are, cause instead of the past you have present with your kids love them as much as you missed your grandparents, life is only once and should be living beautifully.

I would live in my present life. As much as I would like to say I would go back and undo all the mistakes that I made in my life, I can't really say I would do that. All the mistakes that I have made in my past have made me the person that I am in my present life. So, if you went back and undid every mistake you ever had, you wouldn't be anywhere near the person you are today, because your mistakes shape you into the person you are.

Somehow i thought someone would say this idea, but you must know for example in past childhood you were bullied and you missed to make friends and you left your lover and that you could gain back with the present knowledge and thus returning to the past can change you life for the better. It is true that what we are now is the things that changed us from past mistakes, what if there is no mistaking again like cheat codes in games.am sure its not boring though life would be fun, i have missed lot in life and i want it back..living present is a bold thing too and keep moving. anyway thanks for sharing..

If I had my full memories,you bet I would go back. I grew up not knowing that I suffered from sever clinical depression all my life,and it caused me a great deal of problems that I would be able to correct,I would have married the girl I was in love with,I would have invested money when I had the chance. Today,I am just getting by with help from the government,as I am unable to work,still single and lonely,Yes,I would go back in a second. Thank you for the discussion.

You welcome, this was my wish at times to go back to the past and change the things or to enjoy life to the utmost and even change my failure for uncommon sense to some sense, my dearest people whom i have missed now, there are lot things to even make more friends all this could be done with this option but unlucky for us that we can live only once to enjoy all this and learn things b mistake only since there is no turning back. i hope you have a good day and thanks for posting

If I was to become a child again, I'm going to do the things that I never did before. I'll kiss a girl and see if they will really cry. I'll chase a dog on the street and see if it can really catch me. I'll hitch a ride at the back of a truck passing by. All of the exciting things I never did before when I was a kid, I'll try doing it if I had a chance to become one again.

Yea we know how it would be if you could get a chance to enjoy the childhood once more there are still many things i missed to do at child, probably because of my innocence at that time or lack of knowledge that forbid me to play as a child as i was at that time, well it would be lot fun with at present knowledge that you can change you life to be more exciting.

why do you want to go back to this special day any reason if you could share. Everyone's life is changed by the sudden turning point and that turning point is what that change us into of what we are though.

Returning to my childhood is very tempting but I won't do it I've done quite a lot of mistakes in the past but if I return to my childhood, that mistake probably will happen again or maybe I will have a bigger mistake So, no thank you

I would definitely go back if I could have the memories. I would like to back to about 13 and started over. There are so many things I would change. One would be my past relationships and another would be my relationship with my sister. Have a Blessed Day

omg that would be so awesome. I would love to go back to the past and grab some opportunities I had let go and learn somethings too. It would really be great if we could go back in time but still I'm good with the present too. The days in my past, the mistakes I have done, they have taught me a lot of lessons. Even if I couldn't turn back time, that'd be ok :)

Hello Fireheart, I will go to my chilldhood if given me the chance but won't like to go with the memories as then i would not be able to enjoy much as i would be knowing everything thats going to happen next with me that will become quite boring for me therefore i would like to return to my childhood without the memories.

what?what did you say?Did you say going back to childhood?I hope i didn't heard it wrong.How wonderfull it would be.but Unfortunately it is you who is asking it out of curiosity but not god.If it would really had been god to ask this question i would not had wasted even a single minute.I would had said yes even before he completes stating his offer. I really want that childhood back.Because i did some mistakes that i need to correct now.Although i have learned many things from my mistake but still i am unable to stand up at all.My mistakes have broken my legs so much that i cannot treat them.Many learn from their mistakes and even i did.But they gotten up quickly and started go well again but that did not happen with me because this world is very cruel world.Many people like me can't make up here.They just keep losing. If ever i got a chance to go back to my childhood with present knowledge then i would change every thing.Including my physical activity and studies and every thing.But i know it is not possible.

I think it would be very interesting to go back to a piece of your past life with your present knowledge.. Just to see how differently you see the world! I feel like I have changed and grown so much since my youth and it would be fascinating to see how differently I would handle certain situations that I dealt with then. But all in all I am really happy with where I am in life now so if I were to go back in time, I would only want it to be for a little while and then return to my present life!

I would rather return to my childhood so that I would be able to do the things I wanted to do. I want to be a member on girlscout and CAT officers. I want to join singing contest. These things that I really want to do before because I believe having these in childhood will boost your confidence in the future.

If I were given the chance to go back to any point of my childhood? Well that is a tough question as a lot of events in my childhood appeal to me. One that really does more so than others however would when I received my very first bike. I remember the feeling of riding it, I just wouldn't get the same thrill if I were to use one now.

I guess if I could go back and make some changes to my childhood I probably would. As long as I could reverse it if it altered my life too much. Like if I changed something in my past and then when I came back to the present I all the sudden didn't have kids or something. I have some thing from my childhood I wish I had done differently.
