If you could have one week back to do something over what would that be?

Tenth grade. I would have told a certain somebody to fuck off and leave me alone. If I had done that, I wouldn’t have missed out on three years of one of my best friends’ lives.

I would have liked the week back that led up to the wedding day of my first marriage. Those 7 days would have been plenty of time to call everything off, get my affairs in order, and save myself from 3 years of unecessary suffering in that marital train wreck.

I dont need a week, I would only need one minute to save myself from losing the catch of the century…......twice. so maybe two minutes

That would be my wedding day and honeymoon, I would not do a thing different, I would just love to live through it again.

Two minutes for what???

Living in the past makes me depressed.

Try to correct the wrongs i did over the week…

True, living in the past makes me depressed as well. But I would like to change one specific week in my life.

@antimatter- let me know if you figure out a way to do that….

There is no way we can go back but it would be nice if we had that could do it. Anyway this question is based on a play I am working on.

I pick next week.

I wouldn’t go back and change anything. Wouldn’t that change the future? I’m happy where I’m at now.

That’s is the point somewhere in our lives we wish we could change the past but sadly it’s the way that life works what we do today influence tomorrow. (I probably sound like an ass now)

@cheebdragon , I think that living the past depresses most people. The question is, “Why do we do it so often?”

I have no idea why we do it.

@antimatter Good luck on your play!

@cheeb GA to you. By the way, love the new avatar!

There is nothing I want to relive, but I wouldn’t mind a week in which I could do some things I have never done (scuba dive the great reefs of the world) and a few others.

There are a few weeks in the past 15 months I’d like to redo that might have changed the course of my relationship. There were mistakes I’ve made as well as times I reacted on old insecurities rather than taking the time to consider the best way to handle those situations. I can’t go back, I know; but I can say that I’ve learned some valuable life lessons.

I’ve been through much worse hardships earlier in life, but those would take more than a week to correct, and there wasn’t much I could have done to change those events.

I’d’ve reported someone to child services and left that awful place at 16 like I wanted to, but was too afraid of getting the woman “in trouble”.

Thank you for asking this question…It wasn’t until I read it and really thought about it that I realized that there really isn’t anything that I would go back and do over. It’s nice realizing that I really don’t live with regret.

I feel like it would be interesting to go back to middle or high school knowing what I know now and being the person that I have become, but it would be more because I don’t like who I was then and it would be interesting to see what COULD be different if I were the “me” that I am now…..that being said, I wouldn’t be the “me” I am now if it weren’t for middle and high school and everything I’ve been through…..so yah….thanks for the question!!!

I’d like to have back the last week I spent with my father. I’d have waited more, listened more, hugged him more. One of many sad things about being young when your parents die is that you’re not ready yet to understand a lot of things. I don’t have the same regrets about my mother’s death 25 years later.
