I'm teen age, but I really dislike my past. I hate it being mentioned. My youthful innocence is just stupidity and my mistakes... I just can't laugh at them even though nobody even remembers them. No, they weren't life-changingly stupid decisions or faux paus. My friend seems to like the past, though. So I'm asking y'all: do you remember the past with fondness, or with hate and anger at your younger self for being foolish, even though it didn't change your life. If you could go back to your young childhood without the knowledge you have, would you experience it all again?

There's loads of things I'd like to experience again, particularly being completely care-free, but then, on the other hand, there's stuff I'd rather not have experienced at all. If by without knowledge I had you mean just basically repeating past successess and failures at whatnot the same way they already happened, I'm gonna have to say no. Overall, the good outweighs the bad, but on a case-by-case basis, it doesn't seem that enticing.

This summarizes my feelings. Really, life was unconditionally fun when I was kid, but even so, there are things that I wish had never happened at all and I hope I'd never have to relive ever again.

	I WANT-I WANT-I WANT. Every day you hear people say what they want or bought. Well, this is what I want. I want people who are sick, to be healed. I want children without parents to be adopted. I want people to never have to worry about food and shelter and warmth. But most of all I would like to see people give to care about each other, less gossiping and more to help each other ... Now let's see how many people will copy this. I think almost anyone. I did it, now you do.

As I look back. I'm glad I'm at this age. I also hate my past because I did stupid things that ended me up being removed from my father's home. But still, I had a horrible past when it comes to my stupidity, but I have to admit, it was fun while it lasted.

This summarizes my feelings. I agree also. I have some really good memories and also bad ones. I'm prefectly happy with where I am now and would not want to not go back. Although I probably wasn't, I feel like I was a pretty dumb kid (I still consider myself a kid, but you know what I mean.) . I chose to be annoying because I liked to push people's buttons. If I were to somehow meet my past self between the ages of 6-14 I would be driven crazy by the younger version of me. If I absolutely had to relive a part of my life I would pick somewhere around the time I was 3-6 years old because I was really naive and was unknowlingly an example of the saying "ignorance is bliss". The point in my life that I enjoy the most is the current one though.

Things I remember fondly, things I'd rather forget: y'know, the usual. Still, would I go back and do it all again without any knowledge of what was going to happen? Not really. Same things would just happen again, I'd bet. With some knowledge sure there are a few things I might do a little differently. Maybe study a little harder in school... make sure I was a little more health wise... I dunno. But all in all I'd say I'm okay with the way my past turned out, I guess. After all, those experiences are what made me who I am today, right?

Yep. Posts: 1,397 Group: A Rank Hero Member #12,099 Joined: May 26, 2011 Steam ID: Maximus123458 Game Currently Playing: Megaman X6	That comes to both. Well..back when i was 10, more of. Damn it, rhyming again. But when we go back to the much younger years, from 2 to 7 years i had, mom keeps telling me that i was an extremely peaceful child, and well myself, i don't remember any awkward or terrifying moments, except the fact how many nightmares i had back then. And well..actually, they may have been awkward moments really, all children have at least one, i guess. But that didn't count, i wish i could revisit those years. =D It was when i didn't isolate myself in my room playing video games, i went outside and had lots of fun. ^^ because no matter if bad moments happened, the best plus is how my depression didn't hit me that hard back then. Today..well, i just lost my interest in pretty much everything but being on the laptop. I'm only going out when i really really need to, and that accounts to getting a haircut or making the next boring trip to a hospital and utterly fail at the process =( And that's why reminding myself of my childhood makes me really sad. ... wat is serious anyway

Hydrocity Act 1 Posts: 76 Group: C Rank Adventurer Member #11,313 Joined: August 9, 2010 Gender: Female	So basically you mean by going back to childhood without any current knowledge about it is has the childhood been worth all this? Yes, it has. My childhood was awesome, but it had also those moments that I don't that fondly want to remember. It all compiled me into a person what I am today and I'm more than just satisfied with the result. And if I actually did have a chance to go back there with my knowledge I would cause a major paradox and destroy my current self and life by doing some different choices on some negative things in my past. Revisiting childhood would be a tempting thought and cool though, how everything seemed so big and awesome and more carefree. I could see people with whom I haven't kept any contact with for many years, and play video games with neighbour kids and climb in the trees ~~(not that I could do that nowadays too)~~. About my past self... mmmhmm, yes and no. I'm proud of the one who kept running around the fields and towns, but not that much proud of the middle school -aged past self. Maybe if she spent more time with the family, maybe then I could be proud of her too. And oh, maybe if I could tell her not to make so black and white decisions and judgements on things. But I guess I have to be proud of her in a way that she found rp'ing and thus might have ended up getting present me into the point where I'm currently at. So for that I'm grateful.

As for my past self...no, I wouldn't like to meet him, I became particularly mature all at once but was extremely annoying and naive before then. I have done things I'm not proud of, but at the same time I have no regrets.

Angel Island Act 2 Posts: 72 Group: D Rank Adventurer Member #12,909 Joined: April 25, 2012 Steam ID: mewtreemon	I used to be outgoing and such. But after the death of my brother i closed up,throwing up mental walls around me, not letting anyone get near me and kept to myself,only playing games and only coming out when absolutely needed to. Which, to be honest, i still do
