Last night I had a dream that I went back in time to Year 10, but I had all the knowledge and stuff I do now, so I knew how things would turn out.
It was crazy. I was sitting in my maths class, supposed to be writing an essay on something (essay's in maths? hmmm) but instead I was trying to figure out if I should do everything the same as before, or change my destiny and do things different.
My friend was there, and she looked really good, and healthy compared to what she does now, and I commented on it and she didnt understand what I meant. So I told the guy sitting next to me, that in a few years she would be annorexic and depressed and suicidal. And he was like "how do you know?" so I told him the whole story, how I'd been there before and I knew what would happen.
Then I looked at my best friend, and I knew that I was in luurve with him, (something I didnt figure out till Year 12 - in real life) and I also knew that we would get together, and I now had the chance to speed that up, instead of waiting for two years. I also knew that he would end up hurting me.
So I put it to you, if you had the chance to change something in your past, would you do it? Or would you go down the same path knowing that it would end badly?

fuck.. there are soo many things i would have changed - especially when it comes to realtionships ... as generally i was too .. i dunno.. lazy i guess... to do anything about it... and missed my chances.  Yeah.. i reckon year 10 would be a good place to go back to, or even just last year, year 11 .... ah... my methods class.  |

i strongly believe that everything we do, and our past makes us the people we are today. so, based on that theory, if i had the opportunity, i wouldn't change my past. i'd like to erase atleast one ex boyfriend though  this post reminds me of a tv show i just managed to catch on channel 10 earlier: "do over". apparently this kid, is really 34 years old, and for some reason is reliving his teenage years. it was interesting, yet somewhat lame. |

was that the first episode? i haven't heard anything about it before, but then again, i generally don't watch tv.
i thought it was funny how he kept on saying "hey, wait a minute, i'm 34! i'm more mature than this!" haha!

I hate summer tv!

id go thru life with the girl i am with now, then go back to being this age, and then id go back and change this.
id break up with her second time around at this age, and go through life to see if id meet someone else.

Oh my god... I can't believe I am reading this! Obviously you don't have any substantial feelings for this poor girl or you would (if given the hypothetical choice) live life again and again with her. If you loved her so much - I'm sure you'd want to spend eternity with her. Both sunky and I read this and were shocked and kind of disgusted that someone could discard love once they had found it for a second chance at a 'what-if?' scenario... If my boyfriend ever said that, I'd be heartbroken...  |

Im sitting here listening to "On the meaning of loss" from the Hideout Compilation 2 and I dunno it may not have relevance (though the line:
the ghost of us, is killing us
the ghost of us, is killing us
the ghost of us
would seem to be on destiny or atleast history, memories etc) but it has aided to putting me in the mood to write in this thread.
Recently there has been an increase in activity in my life, well atleast compared to my usual lull, there have been a certain amount of important to semi-important events occuring. To cut it short, I managed to break through the barrier that seperated me from enjoying the magic that is other ppl, in particular guys and what they have to offer.
My first of kissing, dancing *with a guy in that way*, sex etc...I guess you could say, it wasnt exactly what I had dreamed it to be and it didnt exactly happen the way it should of. A guy picked me up, took me home and there u have it...dropped me off back home the next day, see ya later, bye.
And then after that, the many other guys...
I would like to say I dont regret anything that has happened but I would be lying if I was to say that I wouldnt have it have happened differently. All through my life, I have been saying there have been certain things that have happened that I so want to have not, or things that have not happened that I so wish had...life If I had had it my way would of been a script to an epic feel good movie, not unlike what is displayed before us at every turn...but life is not a movie. You cant go and rewrite a scene or press the off button just because its not turning out the way you wanted it too, or something happened that you want changed.
Im beginning to understand that...life is making mistakes, and living is learning from them...I know that may be the negative way to see it, but its just the long way of saying the meaning of life is to live. I am who I am today because of all that I have learnt, and I have the hopes and dreams I have because of all that I have achieved, whether through making mistakes or getting it right.
I can look forever behind me, pondering each and every up and down, or I could keep my head forwards...looking ahead. Thats whats so great about now...you may have made a mistake yesterday...but now you can deal with it...and tomorrow...tomorrow can be something to look forward to. New mistakes to be made, new sorrows and happiness' to be felt.
We have a choice to do what we want tomorrow...why wonder what you could of done differently yesterday...rather, take a look at what you can do now, and how many different possibilities there are that you can decide upon.
If "destiny", can be changed...it would only be able to be done so for the future...
I also just watched Spiderman for the first time and I cried during it...so I may just be a little...hmm, exposed/vulnerable atm...considering I cried during an action movie lol. Last night I nearly decided that I would take comfort in another guy...I could do that every time I feel down or unwanted...or I could find myself a boyfriend (even with my lack of success there so far)...or life is more than men, love is more than being with someone. Music...how magical life can be...

even though it was hypotheticly, it is still a very hurtful thing to even think ... that your life 'could' end up better with somebody else. If the person you are with 'trully' makes you happy + completes you why on earth would you want to do it again with another person? ... its just strange to think that you would never have those experiences you've had with your partner.
In the end you would end up being a totally different person, and would not be the person you are today.

i disagree. what age did you meet simon, bree? I met Bree when I was 20 and she was 21. We had both had enough experiences with other people to know what life with others would have been like. |

ok, ive been meaning to reply in here for a while, but ive only just got round to it now.
i think what the thing that some people are getting to here is would it not be interesting if you could like "save" the life you have at the moment, kinda like a computer game, and take some really different tangent, something you would not normally do.
for example, imagine moving overseas right now, just picking up and going, just to see what happens. or about what some of the other people were saying with relationships, no matter how much you are in love with the other person, just changing that front just to see what happens, would you find someone else? someone better? someone worse?
what i would do if i could "save" my life: quit the fuck out of engineering and go overseas. probably england. work in a bar or something over there, waste a whole heap of money and generally be irresponsible,
how about everyone else?

If I could just pick up and go, I'd probably take off to the US, get a job in a restuarant or a bar whatever I could get. I'd also become a resident, make new friends and go to alot of concerts.
When it comes to changing my own life, I wouldn't change the things I've done. I like to think they've turned me into the "wonderful" person I am. Though I would probably change some things that have happened, like my sister's attempted suicide. I'd make it so it changed her into a better person - appreciate life more, rather than what she has become .... I don't think there is a word I could use to adequatly describe her. Or, this is the extreme case, have her completely go through it and be dead now. It would save the family being torn apart, which is what happening now. But on the other hand, if it had been changed, I don't think I'd be the same person I am now and I kinda like who I am.
