Where would you go back to?

So your mid to late 20s like me, or maybe older, lived a busy life made a few mistakes as we all have, where would you go back to if you could. I think about this alot and often, going oh this would be a great place, oh I could fix this, I could fix that. I could if I went back there I could also prevent a lot of terrible events. Is that a good thing?

Now you might be thinking, stopping a horrible catastrophe, yeah thats a good thing and yeah stopping it would be but it would also change what we have achieved because of it. I will try and make this post as time travel friendly as possible. The World Wars were horrendus events that should not have happened but to go back and stop it, although saving millions of lives would also slow down technological advancements. Now you might be thinking screw technology I can save millions of lives, but thats what war kinda does. It forces people to adapt and create new and better ways of living/staying alive (also killing which is bad).

Now I am going slightly off topic here I am not on about a massive event I am on about your life, wow burn, but seriously it has a greater effect than you might think. Most people have heard about the butterfly effect right, well the breif version is you do something and it sends ripples out effecting bigger things, butterfly flaps its wings and causes a tornado. Well everyones life is like the butterflies wings, each interaction effects things down the line. So who is to say what you did do something that down the line will help save people. Now this doesnt mean you can do bad things and go ohhh its all part of the bigger picture, still be nice people just know mistakes are not the end.

You are you, seems pretty obvious right? you make a mistake, you want the easy way out and travel back and make sure it never happened, I have wanted that before and still do for somethings or just to relive past experiences. Stop! dont do it, if you ever get the chance, dont change your past, you make a mistake you do your best to correct it or just help ease it. You might have to apologise or even lose a friend but changing it will not only screw the timeline(insert timetravel shenanigans here) but also change who you are because of it.

Best example I have is from when I was at primary school, I was a violent person and always took playfights a bit too seriously. I got into a few out of hand fights and tried to get a few people in trouble and I almost got expelled. Luckily I got two stickers and thus did not get expelled, makes sense I know, but as much as that could have ruined my life and I could have gone into a life of crime and hard drugs but I didnt I learnt(Maybe slightly exaggerated for this context).

Now I know it isn't as straight forward as that for everyone but people need to learn to make their own mistakes but doesnt mean you cant have a bit of guidence. So listen to your family and friends they might know something you dont just like you might know something they dont, so help each other out and fail together. If a genie does ask where do you want to go back to just say now as you are amazing just the way you are.

Why I hate myself

I dont exactly hate myself, well not all the time it is usually down to how I am feeling at the time. We have all had those moments where we dont feel 100% or like we dont matter despite the fact we really do all matter. The reason I am writing this is for my own benifit, I find it hard to explain how I feel when speaking that is if I can actually get round to telling people how I feel. This is mostly because I feel I am bothering them even though I know I would do the same for them and not care. When I type I dont feel like I am speaking to anyone I just feel like I am making notes and therefore feel more free to describe how I feel.

I have moments where I over think everything I like to think we all do and that its something that everyone has to deal with. I feel down or unhappy despite trying not to show it, I keep on pretending to be happy or like I am ok with whats going on. I am a hypocrite sometimes as I tell people to let others know how they feel and do what makes them happy, the advice I give are the ones I should follow. I write this not knowing if I will even publish it and what the reaction will be if it is read.

I try to keep an open mind and be open to everything but sometimes I feel I would benifit more if I was more selfish. This sounds like I am saying I am an amazing person that of which I know I am not, but neither am I a terrible person or at least I would like to think not. I have hurt people before and I dont like that thought, we have all hurt someone whether we know it or not we all for the most part try and be better people.

That is why I hate myself, some of the time, I feel I dont/cant do enough and its my fault that I should be better, stronger, dealt with the situation differently but I didnt. I did what I did I cant change that and all I can do is move on and try and be a better person. I want to make people happy no matter the cost the problem being I dont always think about what makes me happy, I know people I would be happy with but they would not be happy with me thats not their fault or something I should feel sad about I should be happy I get the chance to know them and be friends with them.

In conclusion it is hard, it is tough but keep at it and talk to people. I will keep pestering people and trying to appear happy cause I dont want to bother people, but there are that few who I will tell how I feel and whether they make suggestions or are just there for me both of which help. If you think someone may feel like this dont treat them differently, dont try and tell them what to do just be there and in time people will talk and explain things.

Everything will be ok and to quote Queen

'It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust,
Friends will be friends,
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention,
Friends will be friends,
When you're through with life and all hope is lost,
Hold out your hand cos friends will be friends right till the end '
