If you could go back in time and 'change it all' would you?

If you had the chance to go back to some pivotal point in your life and open Door #2, would you take that chance?

I don't know what got me thinking about this. But my brain had fun with this little thought. Though I am not really sure what The Moment would be? 

But first, my thoughts on this matter. I think that it's human nature to wonder what might have been. After all, we make life decisions every day, with no surefire way of knowing the 'right' one. Dwelling on the road not taken is where things get messy. 

So let's play a game of 'What if?'. You are given the option to be taken back to Life's Deciding Point. You will somehow know which magical path to walk down- the opposite of your previous choice. However, you will not have gained any knowledge. In essence, you will have never lived this life. All your life lessons, choices, attachments, never happened. You will truly live your life with this choice, Door #2 with no idea what was behind Door #1.

"The devil you know is better than the one you don't." " The grass isn't always greener on the other side." but what if it IS greener?

And if you made the choice to change, would you find yourself, years down the road, wondering about what might have been?

Would you do it? Would you go back? 


*I just asked J, as he is falling asleep. His answer, and his reason, was pretty great. He's a keeper. 

** I really would love to hear your answers.

  1. I'd have to say that I wouldn't go back. There have been difficult times and decisions in my life, but they have shaped me into who I am. If I changed something, that would mean that all I hold dear to now and all that I have in my life, would not be here. I don't like those odds. I chalk it up to learning from it and making different choices down the road, based on the time that I chose Door #1 over Door #2.

  2. But what about the 'if it's meant to be...' argument?
    What if my 'point' was going to college (Awesome U of course!) instead of moving to Texas. So I went and had a blast, because who doesn't love AU?! A friend of a friend's cousin's high school teacher's nephew went to school with a guy named J and this J guy was in the Army. He needed a penpal. (Ha, J writing letters!) so we wrote and fell in love, got married and had beautiful twin girls. Because in the end, God/Fate/the second star to the right/fortune cookies will lead you to what is meant to be.
