So I just finished the series Paper Girls on Amazon Prime, it has to do with time traveling. Twelve year old girls travel to the future and meet their grown up selves ( they want to go back to their own timeline). It got me thinking what if you could meet your future self, knowing how things would play out would you make changes as your younger self? I definitely would, my life didn't turn out as I hoped, if I could have course corrected it would have been better.

I would try to exercise more and eat healthier so as to avoid future weight gain.  Otherwise, the outcome of my life has been a pleasant surprise.  I never dreamed I'd be married to such a wonderful man for over 30 years.

I would not want to know what the future has in store.  My life has turned out a lot better than I could have imagined it.  As the previous poster mentioned, being married to the right person for over 40 years has made a big difference!!!!

I honestly don't know if I would change anything, I've had a good life.

Within my life there are a few things I would have changed, mostly about myself.  Two big things I would have done was buy Apple and Amazon stock the day it was offered LOL

No, I would not want to see my future or time travel to do so.

@Cakers3  very wise indeed.

 

I once was told even if you veer off course as we all have free will, the Universe will provide another opportunity for those things meant to be.

No, I would not make any changes. I am happy with the way my life has turned out.

IF I COULD, yes I would.....hindsight 20/20, if I knew then what I know now, and any other cliche I could think of.....I definitely would have done things differently.
