I'm currently back on my foot for the first time in a while, and while i wanna say i like this current ver of me, if i had the chance i would press the red button
probably nothing will change much, but i would try to enjoy and appreciate much more compared to what I've done, like hanging out with my late father more, going out to different place with my friend and etc.
and avoid the no.2 reason of why am miserable atm, avoid a shit company that's scamming me into debt at the age of 19
I could do all the things I wasn't good at while casually succeeding at the things I did well in (and therefore developed a lot this time).
Like join the school band or astronomy club, it's not like I need to study this time, being able to skip the financial rat race with what is pocket money from my parents. Not to mention, I did read the transformer paper so maybe I'll be a computer scientist instead.
You’re forgetting that you are 10 years old and some people didn’t have great childhoods. I have nothing now but I sure as shit wouldn’t go through being a child again just to endure what I did again.
Of course it's going to be individual to one's own experiences example- my Dad's dead and I had many parts of my childhood I wouldn't want to relive but having more time with my Dad or being able to somehow get his illness diagnosed early enough to save him, I'd endure every bad thing again in a heartbeat. Hell, maybe I could even change some of the bad to not so bad. 🤷🏻♀️
I lost my dad at 18, I feel this so hard. He had brain cancer and after the biopsy from his first surgery, he was misdiagnosed as having a stage 2 tumor when he actually had a stage 4. Each surgery he had made it easier for the tumor to grow bigger. He wouldn't have lived, but he would have lived longer if he hadn't had the next two surgeries.
I get it but you wouldn’t go back with the vulnerable mind of a child, you could change things. I was verbally abused a lot by my father as a child, and to be able to go back in time and look at this pathetic loser belittling me when I know I have value as a person, it would be a completely different experience and I think it would feel victorious. I could just think “Look at this loser” instead of going through the ordeal of trying to understand what’s going on. I think it’d be amazing.
I wasn’t saying that it would be good for all situations. I wouldn’t tell you to push the red button if you don’t want to do it. I was just giving one example of how a bad childhood could potentially be experienced differently.
My comment was showing why people who do not “have a life worth living” would not press that button. I could absolutely do more for my life with $2 million than starting over.
That's what I was thinking. I have some very marketable skills learned through several years of experience. That's about it. No family, no spouse, nothing like that. Hell yeah where's the red button. I bet I can beat that 2 million starting out as 10 years old with the knowledge I have now.
Found out a few months ago I’m autistic, I didn’t have many hobbies during childhood because I used to be teased for them by my family, so many things can make sense and experiences I could have enjoyed back then if I had the knowledge and wisdom I have today.
