I would have to travel through a lot of horrible things again. It could potentially lead to getting back many years that I lost due to the emotional and mental torment that I suffered that lead me to shut out human beings for well over a decade. But to throw away people in the current present to go back to the beginning, weighs a little too heavy. I don't think I could do that. When I was still a child, a lot of people I've gotten to know wouldn't even be born then. And to suddenly encounter them at a future time when they would be strangers and not the people you got to know in the current time line just doesn't sit right with me.

All the horrible stuff that has happened, happened for a reason. I missed out on so much because of it and still miss out on a lot. But what I do have now and the potential years ahead could hold so much happiness and joy that I would potentially cheat myself out of if I went back to the start. So I guess I wouldn't. I would just keep going with what I have and if it doesn't work out, then maybe in another life.

Assuming I retain the knowledge that I have now. Otherwise it would just be a repeat with no way to fix my mistakes etc.

Yes, at least I would meet my grandparents again and have many years with them. Of course, I would be able to make more money as well, but that is secondary. On the downside, I would have to build my collection of recordings etc again, but that does not matter.

Depends really on the exact rules of the re-life, I assume it would mean that time would also go backwards, since one has to have their parents, so with that technology and such probably also goes back to what it was. The main question is, do I have my memories of this life? because that really makes or breaks the decision. If not, then, even while it is stated that you can change things, nothing would probably change for me, because every decision I've made has been logical to me, and would happen again; thus in that case, no.

But if I do keep my memories from this life to at least some extend, then yes, because even though there are things that I cannot control and would rather not go through again. there are specific times where I know a wrong decision was made, just for one bigger example, my first vocational education; while it has been slight use on my free time, the fact is that it was waste of time for me, not having done a single second of that work, not that the education would have been enough for actual job anyway. I don't know what would have been better, but I would choose something else for sure.

I don’t think I would, even if I could change my decisions. I’d basically know everything that would happen, good and bad. And that’s boring to me. Sure there’s some major decisions here and there where I could’ve done things differently but I don’t think they were decisions that would’ve massively altered where I am today. Things would mostly play out the same, just with different people or in different locations.

If given the choice, I would not start over. While a lot of things in my life - childhood especially - was less than ideal and there are a lot of things that I wish I never had to experience, I feel like erasing that would undermine how I rose above it and grew stronger as a person.


At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.
