The Regret That Will Make Me Consider Time Travel

Wisdom don't come without mistakes, regret and hardships. Success don't come without discipline and sacrifices. Winning don't come without the feeling of sadness for losing. Being mentally stable also don't come without a time where depression was at your doorstep.

If i had a time machine, things would probably be better. I would have little to no worries about the mistakes I did because i can easily go back in time and correct them. But then, not all good smelling food is sweet. Some food could have a good smell but the taste would not match the smell which in turn leaves the eater disappointed.

This post is an entry to hive learners prompt, TIME AND AGAIN. In this post i would talk about my perspective of time travel, and if it is worth it. I will also share a few potential risks time travel may pose to our current reality if we change anything in the past.

Deep down, I think its not really a good idea to go back in time to change a few actions, but then, as somebody with a few regrets, I overlook my deep thoughts and would love to try it out if it exists. I guess my selfish self would take over. Maybe.

There are lots of things that I would like to correct. I remember the first time i ever hit a lady. Though I apologized profusely like somebody that is about to lose his hands and i was forgiven, I still live with the guilt up till today. The lady wanted to keep being friends with me but i couldn't face the guilt i felt. That was practically the worst day of my life.

Most times, i do wish that i can go back in time. Instead of reacting to her offensive words, i should have just left the room, take some water and go for a walk to cool off. This is the major reason why i would love to go back in time.

Yes, time travel may be important to some people, but come to think of it, what if what happened that day didn't happen? would i have the experience I have today in navigating through annoying and rude people? Would i have searched on ways for proper anger and general emotional management?

Though I still feel a guilt, the mistake i made that time, made me search for ways to be a better and wiser person which is working out fine for me. No doubt, a few ladies i dated after that event called me caring, soft, a gentle man, and what not. I guess is just flattery but then, that event made me understand things not only from my perspective, but from the lady's perspective. I got to understand how she felt and with further research, how to manage such case if it presents itself to me ever again.

From my perspective i don't think its worth it to undo mistakes. We are humans. Making mistakes is part of what makes us unique. After a mistake, it is important to learn from the mistake and move on. Sometimes, it may feel like the older you grow, you get colder because of the many happenings, however, i have come to understand that the further i go in life, the more I find things and people that will eradicate the coldness from me.

So, i don't think there is need to travel back in time. Moreover, there maybe a consequence. Your future self may disagree with your actions of going back in time, and they will want to go back in time to stop you from going back in time. lol. I don't know if that sentence makes sense, but hopefully you understand what i'm trying to say.

Making changes in the past may have drastic repercussions to the present and future, so, its better to leave it as it is.
