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

[SoulWhisperer]

Without hesitation I'd go back at when I was 13 and fix everything from there onwards, family, myself, education, anything.

 

[Disappointered]

if i could go back while also remembering some of what i know now and consequently being able to make different decisions then i'd go back to at least 23 if not 15. but i'll just suffer in this sadistic hell realm for a couple more years. i wish i could just be put down humanely in my sleep w/o even knowing. peacefully, painlessly.

Depends on how many times you can use it. If you can use it infinitely that would be pretty busted. You could go back and change any mistake. Might end up driving you insane though as if you use it to save one person you might use it again to save another only to realize you can't save everyone.

After you reach the end of your life you'd go back to the beginning only to infinitely experience everything again. Yeah you might go insane. Seems like such a person would be incredibly detached from reality by the end. It would be nice to have for a while though I guess.

Before being hospitalized

Before developing a chronic ailment

I would go back to college and try harder...

I would go back to Boston and stay...

I would go back to during the pandemic and break up with my ex before things got so serious...

I would go back to October 22 or October 23 and not fuck my life up so disgustingly...

 

[heliophobic]

If I got to go back knowing what I know now: August 2000.

Earliest point I'd go back to is probably my birth. Let another sperm fertilise the egg, or give it a spare month and let another egg be fertilised, a different body would be nice. Not a fan of the brain I have.

Next earliest point, if I kept my memories, probably when I was around 4. I was the weird kid but knowing how much of a spaz I was back then, I'd fare a bit better, maybe develop some more empathy for those around me and be a bit better adjusted. Oh and I'd buy some Bitcoin using my parent's debit cards. They'd get over it fairly quickly, I'm sure.

First year of university. That's when I gained enough freedom to fuck up my entire life. All I do now is fix mistakes from back then.

 

[voudebase]

I would love back to 31/12/2023 morning

 

[Thanatos.br]

i guess i couldn't fix my life bcz most of things were out of my control, but i would probably go back to 2010 and buy bitcoins, so i could leave some money to my mom when i ctb

 

[illusive sweets]

I would go back to when I was 9 and make sure I didn't end up in foster care. Foster care really messed me up, ever since that my life has been a downward spiral. When I think got it all fixed life slaps me and asks "how dare you think there's hope for you".

 

[Fragile_]

I would go back to when I was 13, right before I got addicted to porn which took away so much from me

 

[that_miqo'te]

Before puberty, actually run from home, i know who in my family would have taken me in now, I could get blockers and not have a body that is horrifically not ne

 

[Cinnamorolls]

Early 20s before all the SA happened. If I could've taken a different path to avoid all that, I think my life would've turned out much better.

 

[Steff1337]

To when I was 16, so I could do something to prevent my illness worsening over time to the current point.

To when I was 16, so I could do something to prevent my illness worsening over time to the current point.

Me too, friend. Me too. When we're young we don't realize how bad it can get.

 

[overthehill]

If I could go back to university with what I know today, I'd be able to fix every wrong with my life.

 

[MisterOGBongWater]

2017

 

[findingquiet]

A year ago, or 2010.

 

[NoFutureAnymore]

I would definitely go back, so I would be able to save my gf's life. It would make my life, despite my limitations, way better. I even wouldn't be on this site, because I don't need much more in life.

 

[goodbyengo]

I would go back to before I got sick.

 

[BlockHammer]

Maybe tried to go back to the time when i in my 1st grade of high school, taking diffrent major in university and also be less of a snowflake

 

[BlackDoor]

At first I thought no, I don't have such moments because the reality is that the good moments all fell through later on so it would feel like denying reality to "fix" it.

But after seeing another person's post... I would go back to many years ago and make my bf go see a doctor, so that it wouldn't be stage 4 by the time he was diagnosed, and he could likely be saved. He loved life, and expressed he wanted to enjoy it for as long as possible. Not like me... Who's always been aware that there is a red exit sign exists somewhere in my mind.

 

[ham and potatoes]

Early college. Life was good then.

 

[Fuko1]

If I think about it, all my memories were distressing. I always thought that the situation would improve over time until today when I see that time has passed and I see that my hopes are no longer feasible.

 

[spottem]

I became obsessed with someone I thought I loved online a few years ago. I let myself ruin so much of my life for someone who didn't see me as a person. If I could go back and prevent myself from meeting him, my brain probably wouldn't be been so damaged and traumatized.
