If you had the chance to go back in time and change the past would you? Would you go back and rewrite history? Turn back the hands of time and change that one terrible day? Those hard couple of weeks? Those harsh, painful months? Those rough years when you didn't know how you'd make it through? But somehow you did. Would you change it?
But...if you did go back and change the past, that would almost definitely alter the person you are now. Not to mention your life, family, friends, even job.
Would you chance that defining moment in time? Was the hurt so bad that you wish you could erase it from ever happening? Or somehow was it all worth it? This is the person you were meant to be. This is the life you were meant to live. This is the family you were meant to have.
Think...think...think...

I cant and I wouldnt. I wouldnt be this person I am and I realize every event has its purpose ..no matter how upsetting or how good. Each one does something to you.
I wouldn't change a thing in my past if I could...if we did and come back to the present, wouldn't we ALWAYS have a need to go back and change something?
DR - Very observant, I agree
TGK - My thoughts exactly, but some people disagree. They'd like to rewrite history and have a new chapter of their lives waiting to turn into reality.
It's a hard question. Some mistakes, hurts and growth spurts really did have a jarring impact on my life. I wonder sometimes. How different would I be if... but ifs are so intangible. I think I've changed this scenario up a bit to realize that I have the ability to make good decisions in the present and positively change the course of my present and fugure. Ultimately, had I taken these opportunities in my past I would've had the same life-altering effect.
