There is one day in my life that if I could go back and do over again, I would. I think if I did things differently on that day, I would still be with the love of my life. I feel like I messed up my life with him. I know I could at least try to do something different. I know I would have at least one more day with him. Is there a day in your life you wish you could go back and change?

So many days.... I've thought about this a thousand times in my life. If only I could do that day over again..I would... What's the point, we get a new day and don't do anything differently. I think if we went back and changed any day...what would be the difference. We would change events that happened and maybe we would inadvertently change good things to bad. I guess as much as I would like to ...how would I chose that one day to change. What if I made a bigger mistake by changing it.... These are the things that boggle my mind. So I guess I'm just going to go along with what I have done and hope I make better choices the next day.

Thats a god way to look at it and normally I would agree with you. Most days i dont care about. But only this one day this one time.

I don't believe in regreting. I learn from what i did, and assume it will turn out for the best. How do you know that something worse wouldn't have happened between you and the love of your life? Or, there could be someone better out there for you. Who knows?

That is true and I normally do the same thing. But I just felt like this person was my soul mate. I will always care about him and I will always wish I could have him back.

I have one day, the day i married my ex-husband....Because of it i spent a lot of wasted time with him. But life is like that, we cant go back, but we can have a chance to fix it. Hope you can fix yours.

Yes there is a day in my life which I wish to go back and change.I remember the day August 2 ,year 2005.It was the day when I met my life partner first.That day I was feeling too shy to talk to him and I missed all the enjoyment of the day.We went to a restaurant for lunch.It was a beautiful place.It was raining and light music were being played there.My fear and shyness mess up the whole day.I want that day to be back again to enjoy without fear and shyness.

have you read the book by mitch albom 'For One More Day'. Its a good book!! its about regrets in life, and wanting to go back. You know, that after that moment you'll be out there collecting days but none of them will outweigh the one you're wanting back.

i always say this to myself. i think that everyone has a day they wished that they could go back to. also sometime s i wish that i could just go back in time and change one thing, something that has been with me for so long.

Yes there are so many days that I would love to change, life has been one roller coaster ride with more downs than ups and I have messed up real bad at many many occasions. I would want to change so much

Hello mssnow, after reading your post here, I can't stop myself but be nostalgic about my past life too. I can actually feel that you still have this underlying pain. Believe me, I know what and how it is to have this wistful thinking. But we have to accept that it is already in the past. We can't retraced back and changed whatever we did wrong. Be brave and try to move on with our life. All the best.

There are many days in my life I wish I could redo. Mistakes I wish I could take back, good times I wish I could re-live. Unfortunately life is always moving forward. I have found you have to learn to put regrets aside when you can, they are a heavy burden to carry with you. You can do nothing to change the past, but you can do many things to change your future. Learn from mistakes and live a happy life.

Given to go back at least one day to a particular day I wished I could go back to the moment where my dad is still alive and his last hours that he is alive. I want to tell him the words that I was not able to tell when he is still concious and want to hug him again and embrace him and be with him for the remaing hour because I really do missed my dad so much. My dad is my great idol for he was a good and responsible man and a good friend to me that's why I longed for the moment to be with him again. wheeww! this discussion made me cried!!! thanks mssnow.
