Why do so many of you want to go back to your teenage years? You couldn't pay me enough to be a teenager again 😆

Well said. Teens was like trauma after nice childhood. Rude awakening and unbearable hormonal changes

I haven’t been alright for a long time but presently it’s like every bad thing is happening at once. Life moves on though, and I just have to do what I’ve been doing all my life, which is to smile and cope. You know when you’re going through shit and you start thinking about the good times? I’m like that 24/7 and the only way I deal with it when regret begins to suffocate me is by daydreaming about an alternative universe where I can undo my past and get a chance to re-live it. Sorry for the word-salad but it’s hard to pen down my emotions.

Going to sleep, goodnight. xo

I don't think I'd go back. I like where I'm at. I can take life with laughs now instead of constantly worrying about what strangers think of me. I can laugh at negativity instead of spending hours rethinking and reliving those memories and pretending I have good comebacks. My laugh has changed though. I don't know how to describe the change, but my sister says it's annoying (but flip her. WHO ASKED HER ANYWAY HAHAHAHAHAHA).

Yeah sure, there are things I could have done better - I could have chosen better paths in life, I could have graduated earlier if I knew what my passion in life was, I could have been smarter with how I approached life ... but if I did all that, I would probably lose everything and everyone I hold dear to me today - and there's no amount of wealth I'd be willing to exchange for that. There's more to life than that and it's not worth it to me.

I would love to go back in time to rectify the blunders that I've made. You know how Geet in the movie Geet feels that she ruined her life by playing with her life..I feel the same way. I feel so stupid now, but I used to feel that I can take hasty, impulsive decisions and in the end everything will be alright.

Sab theek ho jaayega is one advice that has jeopardized my life. So, if someone were to ask for my advice I would say that you MUST think before every choice you make. You cannot go back in time to fix it and you will spend your nights fantasizing about what your life would be like if you had chosen a different path.

OT, If I can't fix my past then I would rather stay in the present. I definitely don't want to relive everything that I've gone through.

Just know that this too shall pass. After worse to worse that can happen , things are only bound to become better. They just have to, there's no other way.

Sometimes, the only way to escape from overthinking is just letting go and accept that not everything is under our control. I think it's impossible for anyone to live a life without regrets. I don't know how religious you are but many people find comfort in surrendering certain outcomes of life to god/universe (that are just beyond our control) and just trusting that supreme power that everything will turn out fine at the end. Dwelling in the past or playing what if scenarios only causes pain.

Take care dear.

I'm always here for you whenever you want to talk. ❤️

Nah. There are countless movies with the exact plotline as this showing why it's inadvisable to time travel to the past. 😆

My childhood was whack, I've just come out of teenage years and they were mixed. I focused/focus alot academically to ignore the problems at home. I to this day am not sure if I was truly happy back in the days ignoring stuff at home or was I happy in the moment but subconsciously retained every fight/conversation that happened around. So time travelling into the past ain't for me chief. And with my luck, going back might change stuff enough that I'd prolly land in bigger trouble.😆

But I'm determined as hell to live my best life and fill it with positivity from here on and I constantly work towards it. I suppose I could time travel forwards to see how I turn out, but eh it wouldn't be fun then I suppose 😆

Never. We literally shape/sculpt ourselves over the years as per our experiences, we learn to be grateful, to be humble, to overcome our fears, to love, to let go, we put so much effort in order to gather all the strength and be a better version of ourselves as time passes. So I wouldn't really want to tweak any of that, let alone undo something, life will keep throwing situations and challenges which could be more intense, all we have is our experience and built character which could help deal with things in a better, gentler way.
