If you had the option to hit restart and begin life all over again, would you?

mm honestly my life hasn't been that bad for me to think of resetting it, for the most part my life has been pretty normal. Sure I didn't grow up super popular or had the most friends, I do have some regrets or moment in life were I thought " oh I shouldn't of done that or said that" and I still have those moments from time to time but it's not enough for me to say "RESET". Plus if I hit the reset button I'm just going to end up were I am now, and the thought of having to get up at 6am all over again to head to school.. ehh not exactly something I want to do. But it would be cool to look at myself in the past to see what I was like and If I missed anything.

[Hidden_P]

Honestly? Yes and no.

I’ve had some lovely moments but also horrendous ones. And I don’t mean “oh a lovely birthday party” and “someone said boo”.

Hitting reset won’t guarantee a worse life. I’ve sustained rape, suicide, attempts murder, eating disorders, poverty, health issues, fertility issues, mental issues... hitting reset doesn’t mean I’ll be a fairytale princess.

For all I know I will be raped as a child until I’m killed. I could also be a talented someone with money and happiness.

[Slim57]

This is a tough question. Life is not easy for me right now, I'm struggling, barely holding on, but I just think how much of an accomplishment it would be if I pushed through it all and was able to look back on it. But then again it would be wonderful if I restarted life for a chance at an easier life.

[CuriousMufuxka]

No. Maybe going back to 1997 and investing in Amazon though.

[coolbreeze]

Lol you would be rich now because that stock increased.

[Apple1996]

No, even all my mistakes were good decisions because they led me exactly where I am now and I'm very happy with my current life🙂🙂🙂

[Apple1996]

If I had to restart I'd do it all the same

[Guardian45]

Well-said!

[pervertedjester]

As long as I could remember two things, you bet I would!

[GermanGuy87]

you kind of can.

You just can't erase a criminal record. you can't rewind your age. you can't join the military passed a certain age. you can't get into an ivy league school after you already have crappy marks in high school. You can't get a young hot girl friend if your no longer young and hot. You can't have kids passed 35 for most girls. You can't reverse medical problems that have left you crippled.

But other than these few things you can totally restart your life anytime you want all u need is your I-m-a-g-I-n-a-t-I-o-n

[GermanGuy87]

In answering your question I would restart my life IF I had the power of hindsight and could like remember what happened and stuff.

[Anonymous]

Sometimes, yes. I think I could've saved myself a lot of heartbreak and inconvenience, and not had to have learned some things the hard way.

But most of the time, no. Not only were certain ages exhausting and I'm very glad to be done with them (especially my preteen through teenage years), but I also believe that things have sort of a domino effect and happen the way they do for a reason. I feel that if I changed one minor thing, it might change the entire course of my life and some of the great things wouldn't have happened.

[angelgirl7]

If I retain all my memories, then yes.
I've made a lot of decisions that I really regret making. I truly feel that had I chosen a different path for certain things, I'd be much happier with my life. But unfortunately you can't change the past so I'm left picking up the pieces.

[guacamoleee]

my life is definitely not perfect and sometimes i wish i could trade lives with someone i think have something closer to a perfect life however i consider that i have been lucky enough to have a great life even if it's not perfect but who's life is perfect? no ones. There have been bad moments in my life, moments where i regret everything just like everyone but there are also so many memories, people, moments and experiences that i wouldn't change for anything bc i live for moments like that, moments that make me feel truly happy.

[311WasAnInsideJam]

I'm recovering from a pretty low point, but if I were to redo it I might not be doing as well as I am now.

Just to cut out that one part of my life would be a lot of life gone, so I'll just stick with my shitty decisions.

[ShortCircuit]

Only if it changed the circumstances of my birth, either randomly, or with guarantee of better circumstances.

If I was just being given a chance to retry the life I've already lived so far, I wouldn't do it. I don't think I could've played the cards I was dealt much better than I already have.

[JKingOff]

And go through puberty a second time, f*** that s***! regardless of what decision I make will always be a positive and negative outcome. In order to have the good you have to go through the back. That's just the way it is. There is no such thing as the perfect life.

[winterfox10]

I've had to hit the reset button a number of times in life, but never anything THAT extreme.

I don't know that I would do it. There are a lot of ways in which I think my life could be better, if I knew what I know now, but there are also a lot of good things in my life that have resulted from those bad situations/choices/etc...

[backintown]

Yes absolutely. There are days when I wish I could wake up and it would be 25 years ago.

But think of every person sitting in prison or people who accidentally kills somebody (drunk drivers). I think they wish this much worse than anybody.

It’s a fantasy. It’s impossible. It hasn’t even happened in the Bible (but Jesus did say if you had enough faith anything is possible).

You got to live with the life you have.

[AmandaYVR]

Nope. I'm tired. I feel like there would still be problems or mistakes, but they would be different ones. And mostly because I don't like repeating things, I prefer new stuff. Even if I wiped the memory of the past life, I don't need to live double.

[Guardian45]

Makes sense

[Lman3000]

Yeah, Fuck all the bad shit that happened to me, Some shit I wished never happened I would reset without thought I don't care Fuck the old my past made me who I am BS I would want to see how big a change my life would have even if there''s a negative to it

[OhThatsMorgan]

I don’t think I would because I’ve learned so much valuable information growing up in the area I was raised in and having so many different experiences (I even learnt how to cure my own depression by myself) and I feel like what I know costs too much to trade for another life.

[muliebrity]

Ugh... no to redo seems such a pain. Given even if all memories are wipped out I still think it'll be the same. Learning.. making mistakes.. growing etc.

[ellexoxox]

Yes and no
Yes because I would want to spend more time with my dad nan and grandad before they passed and also to change some of my decisions but no because I don't think I can put myself through all of it again

[Cynicaldreamer]

Absolutely! So many stupid mistakes I made growing up, missed opportunities, making the wrong friends or not making enough reliable friends... or just have the chance to be a better person.

Yeah, I would not mind a fresh start.

[Stingray444]

I seem to be letting down everyone lately, I've been so stressed that my brain is so confused and foggy and I feel horrible.. I'd do anything if I could just start completely over again fresh and make myself more manageable

[TheUniqueOne96]

Yes.

It'd be nice if I knew the consequences of my decisions too, like what some may lead too, so I could kind of correct any mistakes.

If I had the same mindset and way of thinking from a young age too, then I think that'd help me too.

[coachTanthony]

Hell yes!! But the question is do we remember this life after we hit the restart button?

[coolbreeze]

You would have the option to keep your old memories or have them permently erased.
