If I couldn't change anything? Not even my own actions? Yesterday, because I wouldn't want to relive losing my mom and husband without being able to change some things.

I wish I could go back to 18 and make the decision and/or be guided to get a college degree. My parents did not encourage us to go to college at all.
I've been very fortunate to have my 3 kids and be able to stay home and raise them. But I wish I had a career to fall back on now.

If I couldn't change anything, I wouldn't go back either. It was bad enough living it first time around. Imagine repeating it, knowing what was to come, and not being able to change anything. That's a horrible thought! This is how I feel. I would love to start over at age 18 knowing what I know today. I would make big changes.

I would go back to 7th grade. My grandma passed after we moved away when I was 15, but during my junior high years I saw her all the time and I miss her terribly. I would be happy to re-do my life again (as is) to have my time with her again.

Maybe one of the Stanley Cup games. Am I living from then on, or just reliving a specific event? Yes, living from then on.

If I could change things, then I would go back to when my first son was born. I suffered depression soon after and I waited much too long to seek help. That poor choice led to other aspects of my life getting muddled up and in general I feel I would have simply had more enjoyment in his earliest years of life had I sought help immediately. Without changing things, I might go back just a few years to enjoy my 2nd son's baby/toddler years one more time.

if I couldn't change anything, I don't think I'd want to relive anything. If I was 'forced' to, though? Probably the day we left for our vacation in Hawaii-- even though I did hurt my tailbone the first time I swam in the ocean, the experience of seeing Hawaii for the first time would be worth reliving. Or maybe the first time my BF e-mailed me 11 years ago (from match.com, lol!) to relive all of the first-blush relationship stuff.

I'd rewind 5 years and play it again. We had some big changes around that time and it's been a lot of work but I really started liking myself and making choices that have made my life pretty great. Everyday isn't easy but it's been a time of a lot of change, a lot of love, a lot of fun and it's the closest i've ever been with each of my kids. I'd happily experience these years again.

I'd go back to the day I met DH. I'd appreciate our early years more when he was young and healthy.

I'd go as far back as February 1999. That's after the really bad shit - that I'd never ever want to go through again - happened. And that's when we were planning our wedding. I'd love to do that again, even with no changes. Life hasn't been perfect since then, but there are no real changes I'd want to make either.

If I couldn't change anything I'd go back to the day my dd was born. If I could go back and make changes I'd go back to my Army days.

I agree, if nothing could be changed then theres no point, although I would want to go back to before my dad died - but if we can redo things knowing what we know now - well thats a whole new ball game! Then I would go back to January 1, 1985 - a year of big change in my life.

Well if you couldn't change anything I wouldn't bother. It is much better to look forward than back.

I would go back about 8 years, to when my oldest was about 2 and before my second son was born, and relive them growing up again. those years were fun, but then some hardships came about 4 years ago that I would be happy to skip over. otherwise, I'd go back almost exactly a year to last august, when we took our first real family vacation to mexico. it was a magical week, the boys got a long, the resort was perfect, excursions went well.

I would go back to 2013 when we went to Disney World. It was best family vacation ever! and I'm not sure we will ever be able to afford it again...maybe someday.

To when my first DD was born. I would love to relive those days with her and our other DD born 4 years later. I miss those days and would love to revisit them.

Another one who doesn't think there's any point going back if we can't change anything. I wouldn't mind reliving the night I met my husband though, that's got to rank as one of the best nights ever.

I would relive our Alaskan cruise. Won't want or need to change anything.

If I can't change anything, then I don't see the point.

I would go back to 2000, before DH got sick, before any of the kids left home. It was a wonderful time, all of us under one roof. Now DH is gone, all three kids have left the home, they have families and kids of their own. I love my life today, but would love to just visit and give DH a hug. I miss him.

with what I know today, I'd go back to buy up as much Google, Apple, and Amazon stock with all the money i can scrape up at that time. LOL. I mean that in 1/2 seriousness because I don't think I would want to go back to anything if nothing can be changed. but if i had to, set the clock for Google at IPO or Apple at pre-Ipod/iphone.
