If Life Had Save States Like in a Game, Is There a Point You'd Go Back To?

[lizzywizzy09]

Just what the title says. I'd like to be 19 again. Get my medical situation straightened out at a time before I realized how serious it was.

 

[astonishedturnip]

I would straight-up go back to the beginning. I was an annoying cringefail brat for too many years and I continually picked the wrong options on my life path. If I can't go back that far then 15 is fine.

Damn... I WISH. There are eras I would play over and over. If only I could know that those were the golden years before I left them. And the bright future I was looking forward to was nothing more than the glow of a trash bonfire when I finally reached it.

 

[Forveleth]

Back to my junior year of highshool. Tell my parents I'm not going to college like they want and go into the career I want.

High school was Hell for me, I'd only go as far back as 18. That's just late enough to get away from school but early enough to fix things.

I would be screwed and under stress at any point in my life. I like the present time because I don't have the pressure of studies at least. But I got no job and almost zero social interaction. I'm atleast comfy

During 11-13 that's when I peaked in a social way. Had atleast one girl I talked to or crushed upon. I miss it. It was fun and innocent.

I felt brave then when most boys wouldn't talk to girls. I was able to be close friends with them. (Our school was strict they purposely sat boys and girls together so we won't talk) I had a hard time being friends with boys. I felt cool to be included

Back to my junior year of highshool. Tell my parents I'm not going to college like they want and go into the career I want.

I would tell so many people to take a hike that it'd be hilarious. It takes a lot of courage to be your own person when you're so young.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No, I don't want to live even longer than I have to

 

[AmericanMary]

freshmen year of college for me.

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case I don't want existence under any circumstances, the only point that I'd want to go back to is when I didn't exist, I wish I never existed more than anything, I wish I stayed eternally unaware of this futile, undesirable existence, I wish I had the option to erase my existence so it's like I never existed at all.

 

[calebzz1]

Yes, I would re-load my save state right before I had refractive surgery and possibly ruined my early 20's.

I would have no desire to CTB if I didn't make this awful mistake.

 

[Fantasy22]

Are we just reliving the experience or can I change it as well? Haha. I'll go back to just after highschool, maybe take a gap year or just make different choices in general.

A chance for a do over. Like when you die in a game and reload.

 

[onbekend]

Hard question to answer; If I were able to go back in time to when things were different at the age I'm at now maybe I'd be less screwed in the current year. But, if I were given any point to "load my checkpoint" I straight up would've redone my whole life if I could.

 

[justpeachyyyy]

I'd either go back to before my dad died and get him help before things got too bad or, because I don't like thinking like that - it achieves nothing but making me upset - I'd go back to before I met my bf that ruined my life.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Hmm. There are several points I'd like to go back to but I'm not so sure I could guarantee all the decent things that have happened to me since then will still happen or that I won't just end up creating other points I'd want to go back to. It would be nice if I could just have the ability to create and reload save states as much as I want but I would just start from here on out.

 

[Disappointered]

I honestly think things went wrong for me at birth so there's no going back far enough to really save anything. I guess if I could I would go to before visiting an evil cult and becoming progressively dependent on it as a crutch. Would save me from wasting the best years of adulthood instead of moving toward improvement but then again how much improvement was available for me...probably very little. I'll never fully understand why my life went so wrong but I know my parents bear most of the blame and they started damaging my future the moment I was born. Maybe the only thing that might have saved me would have been to be adopted. Whatever is inherently wrong with me, it didn't mean I had to turn out the way I did or end up with such a shit-stained skidmark of a life. And still skidding.

Once time passes it's gone forever. you can never undo a terrible mistake. time travel is impossible.all i can do is remember the bad mistake and try to make up for it in the future.

 

[Crash_Bash_Dash]

Perhaps to the beginning of my freshman year in university. If I do some things differently from that point on I would be in a much more advantageous and better situation than where I am now (almost down the drain).

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Yes I would go back to the point from where everything started to fail slowly and then faster and faster and I would make the exact opposite decision at this point.

 

[Abyssal]

Go back? No, it is the past that broke me so badly

 

[melancholymallory03]

If I could go back to my last year of high school and never said hello to one person I probably could have avoided a lot of inner stress and turmoil .,… I always wonder what life would be like if I could really " turn back time "

 

[Beyond_Repair]

I8, freshman in college. But only with the knowledge and experience I have now, if I was to just become my immature self as I was at 18, I'd rather not

Yes, I would only do it with the knowledge I have now.

 

[Edpal247]

Just 2 years back. That or 21 yr back.

 

[Skywren]

Probably 2019, I could have avoided so much with the hindsight I have today

Go back? No, it is the past that broke me so badly

I really feel that. Cant even wish to go back as an infant just because of what my parents were

 

[ringo99]

Save state? Hell I wish the game had been cancelled and shelved for good

 

[opheliaoveragain]

First time doing heroin, easy.

 

[alltoomuch2]

No. It's been abuse, trauma and hating myself from my earliest memories right up to now. 60 bloody years of it.

 

[Kali_Yuga13]

I've thought a lot about this and explored topics of time travel, looping, eternal recurrence. There are many save points I'd be happy to go back to but I'd need to find a way to beam my knowledge back to myself to make the right decisions. Life is a cruel joke where the "lessons" we learn are no longer applicable. I did read a study on retro-active prayer and I still take moments to mentally warn my past self. If life does loop hopefully I'll get the message in the future-past.

In terms of now and possibly ctb, I'm considering purging nostalgia entirely as it may be holding me back from wiping the slate clean.

 

[Illegal Preclear]

2 Points - 1) Just go back into the womb and noose myself with the umbilical cord, easy. 2) Go back to March 13th, 2009 when I joined a certain Church - the ONLY place that ACTUALLY helped heal my mental illness. Leaving that Church was the point where my game softlocked. I would punch myself in the face, grab myself by the collar and violently shake myself, screaming "YES! It costs a lot of money! It's worth it! Your Schizoaffective Disorder is going to be made 1000x worse by Psychiatry and you'll have to CTB at 35. You won't have access to a gun either, you're going to have to hang! Is that what you want you stupid degraded being!

Now I'm just sad that this scenario can never be real and I'm stuck CTBing.....
