    If you had to rewind your life back to one point, what point would that be and why?
    Let's say that when you rewind yourself back to the point you decide you are exactly the same person as you were at that point, in the same mind set, in the same mood etc But this time round you got a very intense feeling that would mean that this time you do something different, i.e before you go back to that point you give yourself a vague feeling of something at the point you rewind to (you don't have to say what that is, and this can be as in depth or as complicated as you want, but the feeling you give yourself at this point can't be something too direct).

    Not to complicate things, but even though naturally everything affects you whether you see that consciously or not, this feeling you get is the one thing that doesn't affect you apart from making you make a different choice or do something differently.

    So what point would that be?

    -------------

    I realise that some people will say that they don't want to go back to a certain point because what has happened has made them who they are today etc and they have no regrets, which is great. I know no matter what crap I had been through in my life I felt like that up until 6 months ago, which is why I have asked this question.

    I'd go back to year nine and quit going to the girls' school. I'd change to a private school and study my GCSEs and A levels at Westminster sixth form.

    I'd go back to when my first boyfriend kissed me, and instead of reciprocating I'd kick him in the *******s.

    edited to add : cheers for whoever negged me. For your information the guy went on to rape me a couple of weeks later - with his friend. Still think I deserve a neg?

    When I got my 3 a levels at A - 4 years ago .. my life has been a bit of mess from that point onwards .. minus me passing my driving test and going skydiving.

    I'd go back to the very beginning of year 10, where although things have gone very well academically for me, I feel things have not gone socially well for me and I'd like to put things right :L

    Go back to year 10, 15 years old, and stop myself from going out with my first girlfriend. As she has managed to **** my life up in too many ways since that point in time.. ¬.¬

    To year 11 when I chose my A-levels, even better would be if I go back to year 9 when I chose my GCSEs. Picking Art for GCSE and then A-level was the worse decision of my life, not that I haven't enjoyed it, but its been so stressful and time-consuming, I've now realised its not my true calling, its more of a hobby instead. The thing was that instead of going for what is now my geniune passion (humanities - economics, politics that sort of thing), I wasted my time and focus on Art and the ambition to become an architect which I then realised was not right for me.

    Ah, if only I could have the mindset back then that I have now.....
